Accommodation near Manuka Shopping Centre

A top notch experience for our four night stay in a one bedroom apt at East Hotel in Canberra. Underground parking was a key consideration for our stay and it worked well ($20 a night). Very pleasant and helpful staff and a great restaurant (Italian) downstairs where we had both breakfast and dinner a couple of times. Fast wifi. Amazing hot water (the hottest I think we have ever come across, anywhere!). Firm king sized bed with comfortable mattress topper was great. Aircon was effective (its starting to get cold in Canberra in May!). Excellent soundproofing (we were on the 5th floor, directly opposite the "Kingo" hotel (world famous in Canberra). A couple of very minor (1st world) issues. The lighting in the apt was not great for makeup (so my wife told me), though there are plenty of mirrors. There was plenty of clothes storage space (including hanging), though the fact that some of this storage was in the bathroom was a little odd. Kitchen was very well appointed, with a full range of pots and pans (better than almost anywhere else we have stayed in our extensive travels). In apt laundry facilities were top notch (though we didn't use them), with separate washer and dryer. The provision of free and very tasty jellybeans and chocolate sprinkles near reception was a nice touch as well. Overall we couldn't fault the service and amenities for our stay at East Hotel.

Comfortable basic motel in Forrest. Clean, comfortable bed, well located just 10 minutes walk to Manuka and restaurants. Supplied some crockery and cutlery which was useful.

The male staff member that checked me in around 5pm was lovely and helpful!

What a great property! Beautiful apartments - clean, comfy and well appointed with free goodies in the room. The staff member who checked us in (I didnt get his name sorry - Filipino male) was lovely and efficient. Providing us with advice on the amenities in the local area. He made us feel very welcomed and that they would be happy to help out with any requests. Conveniently located close to restaurants and shops. And free parking underground parking. The only negative is that we only stayed one night, so would definitely visit against. Thank you

The place is elegant and beautiful. The rooms are comfortable and the amenities were very good. The staff was also very kind. The buffet breakfast was wonderful, although we could use warm plates in the cold season. The side bed tables also were dusty

This hotel is now getting a little dated. My shower wa pretty old. The reality is that it was cheap to stay here and for the cost it was excellent. I am happy to have affordable nice accomodation. At the end of the day it is somewhere to sleep. The breakfast was dry md pretty ordinary.
