Where to stay in Canberra

Very nice hotel. Specially stay with children’s and family members . My kids really enjoyed it.

I recently stayed at Rydges Canberra and, overall, found the experience to be quite average. The hotel didn’t quite live up to my expectations — while it wasn’t bad, it also wasn’t particularly memorable. The room itself was clean but pretty basic and somewhat dated, lacking the comfort or extra touches you'd hope for at this price point. One thing that stood out as a bit off-putting was the parking...

Large clean room. Friendly staff. Central location close to many of Canberra’s attractions.

Second time staying here, the indoor pool was nice, just under 20m in length and but the jacuzzi was a bit small for the number of guests staying at the hotel. The gym was nice enough also, I was able to get a decent workout using 7,8+ machines. The room was really clean and nice with fully stocked mini bar. Close from the grocery store and close enough from the Parliament House (walking distance)

Good hotel chain which lives up to its name, very suave feeling to it. Onsite gym, sauna & pool which I did not get to check out, the kitchen & the bar closed at 9pm on a weekday, the mini bar was reasonably well stocked.

Generally a really pleasant stay. Sadly let down by breakfast and the coffee.

Staffs are friendly and helpful. The hotel includes complimentary car park.

Nice Hotel. However not the greatest location, need a car to get around.

Hotel was very clean, staff were very nice and polite and location was great.

We stayed over Christmas and it was lovely for the kids. They were welcomed with gift packs full of mini-games, not just the normal colouring papers and pencils. They also have a Christmas workshop set up way before Christmas. The room was very nicely decorated with ample of space for crafting and small table for some drinks. The only downside was that many things had been used up and not refilled...

There is no buffet breakfast, and we ordered three sets of breakfast, which are not very delicious compared with those outside the hotel. Other than that, everything is perfect, especially when we checked in the first night, the front desk staff went to the garage to teach my husband how to park the car.

I've been to Canberra twice. This is the best hotel I've stayed in. It's really nice. The staff are warm and considerate. The room is big, new and smells good. There were 4 people here this time and we had an extra bed in the living room. It's very convenient. It's only 5 minutes away from Parliament Hill in Canberra. It's in the center of the city. The location is very good. Parking is free on weekends...

The view from the breakfast room is lovely from the verandah. The open fire in the lobby is charming. Staff are very friendly, helpful and patient. They offered umbrellas when it rained and parking advice. They didn't argue when I'd been over-charged for food and drink. The hotel has lots of character. Loved the history. We both really enjoyed our Ben Chifley tour at MoAD too, that includes...

We were married in September 2022 at Hotel Kurrajong, after a year of planning with Michaela. It was a beautiful and picturesque day, filled with love and joy, followed by a rock and roll celebration. The venue was absolutely magical, and allowed us to decorate and vibe to suit us. Michaela was with us every step of the way, much like a fairy godmother, trying her absolute darnedest to grant our wishes...

Pleasantly surprised by this hotel. Lovely period building, refurbished (small) rooms. Fabulous breakfast at Chifley's. Sunny courtyard. Reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Historic hotel but showing its age a bit. I think repainting etc underway as we left. Rooms are clean and adequate. I must commend the staff as they were all helpful, friendly and oh so efficient! Menu is limited but everything on it is delicious and well presented. This is pretty intelligent as too many choices might water down the quality. Hotel is situated in Barton with easy access to Manuka...

Building is beautifully presented. Great vibe. Room was spacious and king size bed very comfortable. Staff are very courteous and friendly. Great breakfast menu. Only issue is the paid parking. It is situated on the premises behind a boom gate but doesn't offer any really advantage re security or proximity to front door than the on street parking.

Room? Clean and well appointed. Staff? Friendly and helpful although some were clearly not well trained/didn’t know what to do. Food? Breakfast food was okay, dinner at the restaurant was slightly better but never fantastic. (I wouldn’t go here just for a meal) Drinks? Good coffee, nice selection of drinks and very accommodating bar staff (Sam mainly) Facilities? Very good, all classic and stylish...

This was in a great position, with good communication and tidy facilities

Clean and comfortable, only down fall TV in bedroom had no reception and TV in living room was cutting in and out.

Room was good however the bed was small. Also, the tv barely can play a local news as the screen keeps on freezing. In addition, the bathroom floor was sticky. I was ones in room 3 and 5 and noticed the same thing, it’s as if they don’t properly clean the floor tiles. This time I was in 145 and the bathroom/toilet floor was sticky. Otherwise they have free coffee at the reception which was good.

Have stayed there 3 times in the last 3 weeks and 2 out of 3 times was upgraded to a bigger room. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very affordable.

Excellent accommodation and really well run. All staff were great and the facilities were fantastic.

Although check-in time ends at 8pm and we arrived a little after 8 on a long weekend, the concierge was still there so we were able to check in smoothly. If we arrived closer to 9pm, our keys would be stored in a lock box outside with a PIN code sent to our phone for entry instructions. Our 2 Bedroom Apartment was incredibly spacious. We had generous storage, a large living room and dining area. The...

I am a regular customer and happy with both location and service Modest but tidy and adequate Very clean and serviced regularly Prompt and efficient staff service at the counter

Time saving with new self check-in system Friendly and helpful staffs make our stay much better

Very good location, close to light rail stop, Canberra centre and you can easily catch a coach downstairs.

The location is excellent, surrounded by great choices for restaurants, bars and convenience shops. Happy hour at the hotel 4-6pm about $14 for a schooner and wine. The room though was dated, and not the best value for money. Parking at the hotel is limited but has nearby parking options which cost less than the hotel’s daily rate.

Check-in service was a bit slow as only one staff member at the desk, and also tickets that weren’t included for the Pompeii exhibition weren’t available for some reason, so we had to wait a while before we actually received the tickets. We were last at this hotel just before Covid hit, so there was a marked improvement, but windows need to be soundproofed and also blockout curtains need to be laundered...

Hotel is good, Novotel is great brand, and surroundings are packed with lot of restaurants, just be careful, everything close so early

The bed was good. The hotel room carpet meeds an uplift. Difficult finding Car parking near the hotel.

clean, large room, all the conveniences you could expect.

Great accommodation with friendly staffs, affordable price, convenient location, modern decor and very clean bedding.

Luxurious rooms with plenty of space. Very quiet, clean and maintained. $20 buffet breakfast at Marble & Grain was excellent value for money, hot and flavourful food.

very nice hotel, perfect location clean and spacious room, friendly staff, great experience. Parents-in-law were very impressed ? well picked!

Loved the two bedroom apartment. Clean, new and spacious. Good location. Accommodated our whole family and was a lovely space to come back to every evening. Price was reasonable. Take note that they charge 10 dollars a day for parking unless you book through their hotel website (which is more expensive). The hotel restaurant served good steaks.

This hotel is walking distance from the Airport with no roads or bridges to traverse (about 400 meters from the airport exit) and is fairly new, clean and serviced 24hrs.

The ambience is calm with a clean environment. But it’s the architecture that I fell in love with, it felt like I was in a futuristic-Gatsby-like place. Nearby, you can find a fuel station, an electric car charging station, the airport, and a dreamy mountain view. The service is top-notch. Definitely recommend.

So easy to walk to from Canberra Airport, straight out the terminal and about a 200m walk!! The staff were very friendly, the room service meals were of good quality and the accommodation itself was modern, clean and nice! The only negative was, despite the air conditioner being very powerful and getting the room to the right temperature, with the vent being close to the roof, you couldn't really...

Honestly the best I've been to!! Stayed for a week for a conference hosted at this venue. Fantastic service overall. Staff would come in each day to give the room a quick clean, remake beds and clean the bathroom if needed, always spotless. Food was well done, no complaints regarding the food, good variety. The only negative I have about this venue is that the public bathrooms on the first floor (specifically...

I enjoyed my stay here. The Staff honestly were so friendly, helpful and polite. I've never had a better customer experience as a hotel guest. The only thing I'd like to pick at is Vibe needs to take more detail in room cleanliness. It's small things like dusting, what appeared to be a drink spilt on the carpet. Aside that, the room was tasteful and modern. I would stay again no hesitation but I do...

Well no doubt the hotel was awesome, even though the food was great too. But I had a very bad experience with one of the receptionist here. The guy name Ricky, he was so rude. The moment we entered this hotel without saying hi/hello or even how are you . he told me to grab a trolley and take your stuff out from the car. That was so rude actually. He then process the payment and not even a single smile...

Don't choose this hotel for family trips. It's the largest room type, but it's still unsatisfactory. The hotel faces the road on three sides, which is very noisy. In the morning, trees were chopped across the street. You can sleep directly on the construction site. There are spider webs in the room and black dirt in the bathroom. I changed hotels immediately on the second night!

The room felt a bit small, not quite like a five-diamond hotel, but the bathroom was large, which was important to me, so I felt the overall stay was OK. The hotel has its own style, the corridors and rooms are dim but there is an atmosphere.

Designer hotel, clean rooms, convenient parking. There are several four-hour parking spaces at the door. If you want to go around, you can park at Wilson for $35 a day with unlimited in and out. I think it's suitable for couples.

I went there a few years ago. I found my lost phone. I am very grateful to the hotel staff for their patient communication and help. I feel very warm and touched.

It's an interesting hotel, but I didn't choose the room type this time. I recommend that friends who go there try to choose a lake view room. The room type facing the courtyard is not recommended.

The place was super quirky and had amazing architecture! Came with a free minibar and goodies pack which we loved!

There was plenty for the kids to do and the restaurant made it convenient also.

Absolutely superb We stayed in a Blue Gum Villa and it was amazing. Spotlessly clean and huge bedrooms. The bathroom was massive with modern fixtures and had more than enough large fluffy towels and other linens. The air conditioning was very efficient and warmed the villa up in no time and we loved using the Nespresso machine for coffees. It was quiet, lots of parking and the buffet breakfast had...

We love this tourist park. Really spacious 3 bedroom cabin and so many outdoor activities for the sporty kids to do! Quick drive into town for parliament learning and shopping. Would be nice to have the games room open all year round- it looks like that is only open in school holidays? And the pool is FREEZING! Which was disappointing as the kids always love to use the pool wherever we stay. The laundry...

Fantastic amenities, camp kitchen was great to use, especially with the cooler weather at night. It’s central to most things, has a great small playground and other sporting facilities for the the kids to play. We Will totally be coming back in the not to distant future, it was a great getaway!

Exceptional caravan park. We have a motor home and the amenities were great. Fantastic camp kitchen, restaurant and bar also on site. Everything very well maintained. Staff were so professional, friendly, helpful and efficient. We have e-bikes and were able to ride on footpaths or bike paths all the way into the War Memorial quite easily. Definitely recommended this park.

The park is great in terms of amenities like camp kitchen, pool, tennis and games room. The bar was good for drinks but the food was nothing special. Had a very dated cabin which was quite small and uncomfortable, although there are more newer bigger cabins if you can justify the expense. Location was great, not far from most attractions. I would stay here again (but in a better cabin).

a very comfortable and nice hotel for driver, we should have stayed more days!

We stayed in the one bedroom appartments and it was perfect accommodation. Clean warm and high end. The best accommodation we’ve found in Canberra.

This two bedroom apartment is very modern and comfortable. Bed mattress is plush and supporting. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Clean, well priced and great location

Loved this hotel. Great staff, beautiful rooms and well priced.

It was a great hotel! Me and my husband enjoyed staying there👍

location, under carpark, clean and extremely good staff

Reception and cleaning staff are amazing. They make you feel like you're at home. They also have this delicious café at the bottom that is a must go and see. Close to the bus interchange like literally 1min walk and like 2min walk from the main mall and restaurants in the suburb. So it's a great location.

Great location being beside the shopping centre. Spacious 1 bedroom apartment with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. Lots of areas for walking and good to have a look around. Underground parking is 2.1mt clear and guest parking could be outlined or signed a little better. Other than that I think I'll be happy to stay here for the week while I work away from home.

Really nice apartments for a good price

Quiet, clean, close to main shopping centre

This inexpensive hotel is good for cheap business travel if you have business in Tuggeranong. It’s not convenient to Canberra really. I stayed for 3 weeks for business and while my room was serviced daily it consisted of making the bed and changing the towels. After three weeks it could really have used a vacuum and a wipe down.

Warm air from Air con was very very bad (insufficient power) during my stay ambient was -3C in the evening. No heater is available, bath room is not separated from shower space, water from shower inevitably wet the toilet seating area.

Breakfast value for money  Overall very good value for money, good location. An adequate budget hotel if comfortable staying somewhere  comfortable not wearing top of the range clothing with top of the range accessories. Curtains need new hooks, but facilities in room adequate and clean 

I have stayed at Madison Capital in Braddon many times now. Walking distance to cafes, restaurants, bars & shopping centre. Nice continental breakfast included.

Convenient location at heart of Canberra. But room is crowded with basic supplies. Parking lot is full, parked along side curb. Breakfast has little choice. There is no hot food for breakfast. Disappointed.

Quite good for an one night stay. Can't wrong the location. Reception is great but breakfast is something you can give a miss if you are looking for a variety.

The room is not soundproofed, the cars passing downstairs are very noisy, and I can't sleep well. The breakfast is very simple。The parking space is too narrow, which tests your parking skills。

We recently stayed here for 4 nights and really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was hugh, full kitchen, big lounge dinner and a comfortable bed. The bathroom was a bit tired but clean, plently of secure parking underneath. In particular we found the location excellent. Two streets over from Lonsdale st and a big shopping centre. We are both 70 and found no difficulty getting everywhere on foot....

Great apartment, friendly staff, key pick up was nice and easy, location was great, Central to everything making it easy to get around, overall a great experience recommend it for families and reasonably priced for what you get

Sensational little apartment so close to everything shops resturants aldi Coles

Cleanliness, friendly staff & made my stay in the ACT smooth & memorable. I recommend Abode Gungahlin for anyone who is after a warm & welcoming place to stay whilst visiting Canberra. Great job everyone!

Very very clean,rooms are a good size, plenty of hot water and quiet.

Great location able to walk to shops restaurants and entertainment. Clean, well presented rooms, staff were lovely and helpful.

Comfortable beds, friendly staff and good location with everything you need near by without heading into the city. Rooms are not sound proof so not good for sleeping in.

Was a great place to stay at! Loved you had a washer and dryer provided in the rooms too! Will definitely stay here again!

Rooms were nice, clean etc. The only problem I that the carparks are not monitored so they fill up with people going to the pub. Leaving you driving laps of the streets trying to find somewhere to park for the night.

We were very happy with our adjoining rooms. Staff very accommodating to any queries or needs. Will stay again.

We can hear people next door talking as we were arranged to stay at a connecting room. The door crack is so wide that we can hear people next door talking which gives a sense of insecurity. It is suggested that the door crack should be fixed, for the privacy of people staying at the two rooms who do not know each other.

The Reception staff was friendly and welcoming upon our arrival. Our room was well appointed and comfortable. When we need convenient and affordable accommodation in Canberra, we will definitely book in.

We had a great stay at The Statesman for a work stint in Canberra. The rooms were clean and comfortable, it’s close to everything and a really nice bar and restaurant downstairs. I was there on a Thursday and the place was buzzing with the meat raffle. Couldn’t fault the service.

Happy with the room , TV.didnt have free to air commercial channels 9 & 7 and the night service desk is basically a help line that were very polite but useless telling me they would send an email at 7:30 the next day which was no help considering I was booking out the next morning. Coffee n Tea wants updating with some non sugar sweeteners added to the mix 1 pillow not enough 2 pillows to much but...

decent place to stay. free carpark and near the main attractions

Staff was very helpful,rooms were big and spacious along with kitchen.Excellent services by Bob and Liza.

Staff are friendly, foods amazing. Best place ever. Would reccomend to everyone 🫡

It was alright, beds were fine, at least for our cabin. Went there for school camp! However, the rooms needs more attention to cleaning, someone spilled gummy bears under my bed, it looked like as if it has been there for a long time, please check under your beds guys! Food was.. ok I guess, but breakfast eggs need some working on, they were flavour less, try to get some less dry rice maybe? Hash browns...

The staff were super friendly. The place is clean and very cosy and comfortable. It's in a nice quiet location. And at the price they offer it is a ridiculous deal. We just loved this place and would recommend this to everyone

Me and my mates stayed here for a night, expecting it to be just a casual night stay, but that for sure was not the case. It was actually a lot better than expected, 2 bedrooms but 8 beds in total! Great cleanliness in all the rooms, working fridge, microwave, and stove. We got a radio in our room so there was a great bit of music in the background that we could relax with. Beds were clean and well...

Family group of 4 adults and 4 children staying in Spa Villa 413. Pros: - Designated parking directly in front of the cabin fit for 2 vehicles - Large open grass field outside - Friendly and helpful staff - Dickson and Watson shops all within 5 minutes drive away. Petrol station less 2 minutes away - All the necessary amenities to make it feel like home: Fridge, Cook top, oven, grill, plates, pots...

It's fine. If you need to use the outdoor bins they are very far away. Reasonable traffic noise.

Great place to stay however sound seams to travel through the walls quite easily

The apartments are clean and tidy and handy location.

Good: Reasonably central location, quiet area, comfortable bed. Bad: very cramped room with very little space to move about freely in, ridiculously long list of rules and procedures you're expected to follow, aircon difficult to use,

Very standard rooms with lots of space in each room. Only things to note is the thing windows make it a little noisy at night and outdoor security lights are very bright through the blinds.
