Construction was going on above our room. No notice was given that we may experience noise. Construction began at 7am on Saturday & 7:25am Sunday morning. Jack hammers were extremely noisy and we could smell concrete dust through the vents in the bathroom. When we complained we were offered a free breakfast. A bit more consideration of guests should be a priority.

My apartment main window was facing the afternoon sun, the room cooling could not keep up with the heat and didn't get to a comfortable temp until after 10pm. I had a tradie working on the apartment next door using power tools until after 9pm and also early before 7am in the morning. I had told staff about these issues and the guy sort have shrugged and gave me the dont worry it will all be ok attitude. I have stayed here plenty of times with some of my best overall trips to canberra here, but this stay left a bad taste in my mouth. Im hoping this vibe doesn’t stick around as ive noticed a different feel about the place even my last visit of November 2025.

Location and happy hour drinks & food were the highlights. The king bed was way too soft and bouncy but the twinbed beside it was firmer. Updated main area, bathroom tub/ shower were dated but functional.

The staff were friendly & courteous on arrival. We were given a lovely room in a quiet wing which was super appreciated after a long drive from Sydney. We found the hotel bed extremely comfortable & the room clean & the amenities were plenty. Parking is onsite & free which honestly is so rare these days. My son & I walked into town for dinner & enjoyed the easy 20 minute stroll. Definitely will rebook here with the rest of the family. Such a great laid back vibe.

Old rooms and everything is old and worn. Still comfortable, just not modern. Noisy doors, have to nearly slam them them to close. Coffee & fridge area is tiny, shower in the bath with a shower curtain that doesn’t keep the water in. Very restricting for tallish people.

This is.a good hotel for a few day stay in Canberra. We had two nights there. They have a convenient restaurant and bar under the atrium. Parking is easy access in and out (not always the case in Canberra). The rooms are a bit dated and need more light—a stand up lamp would do wonders. Also, the bathroom needs a light above the sink. These are important respectively for reading and also for shaving, make-up, etc. But other than those two items, it’s an excellent hotel.
