Nicely appointed, particularly the lobby, restaurant and bar. Ask for a room away from the lifts which are quite noisy- you can hear them shuttling up and down the lift cavity. The lower floors do smell like they may have been smoking floors in a previous life before the renovation. I also found the shower water pressure and temperature underwhelming. I expected greater things having stayed in QT in Newcastle and Sydney. The hotel was quiet affordable but just be prepared your experience in Canberra may not match other experiences at QT hotels.

QT hotels have a great vibe and this one had an awesome bar and lobby. The room itself was dated, ugly and the beds were ridiculously soft. It was a real shame. I would never stay again.

It was a full hotel due to school holidays and I was in the end room next to the service lift and laundry collection point. Not a good start But the room was lovely (even though there was a building site opposite the hotel). The staff were fantastic and both the bar and restaurant are welcoming for the solo traveller.

Appreciated the staff reception and cafe, quick and efficient. Some room noise perhaps dumb waiter or lift, understandable. Excellent cafe menu and breakfast. Good location once the city construction detours are factored into travel plans. Very happy to recommend
