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)

Great place for an overnight sleep or longer Excellent staff very helpful and friendly. Nice indoor pool and spa and has a gym very well set out.

my family and I love to stay here because the place are so nice

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...

Nice classy hotel with very clean rooms and charming breakfast restaurant.

We stayed for the Canberra Marathon Festival. The location was close to the main event area, and there is a cafe and a foodstore close by. The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are comfortable. The area is quiet but there are a few restaurant's and bars along the lake about a 10-minute walk away. Uber's were always only a minute away. We had a great time seeing the sights, a lot of them are within walking...

The hotel is classic, the rooms are comfortable and parking is convenient!

Our stay at this hotel was wonderful, we had breakfasts in the morning- hubby loved it and they had option for vegan as well. Only con is smelling cigarettes while we walking to the room. There were too many smokers in the courtyard along the hallway.

Very good hotel, we’ve stayed here a few times already. Food is great and staff members are friendly. We would recommend the hotel to other people.

Old charm meets modern amenities. We loved our short stay at hotel Kurrajong. From the entrance with the fireplace and warm and helpful staff to the garden for pre dinner drinks. Also enjoyed the plaques scattered on the walls detailing the hotels history with political and royal identities. A very relaxed and easy experience.

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.

Returned to The Avenue a few years after being a regular. They haven't missed a beat! Room is immaculate, super comfortable beds, great pillows, great amenities and outstanding service. Add to this the great food, prompt room service and friendly staff and I'd rate The Avenue as the best in Canberra and best value.

very nice location and clean, nice spa room too!

Good location and easy to find restaurants nearby, room facilities (such as washing machine, microwave and balcony) are very well. The breakfast is delicious!

Location is great. Room size ( one bedroom) is really good. That's where it ends. We had ripped bed sheets that were sewn up, one drinking glass between two, a coffee machine but no pods, electrical cables strewn on the floor from the tv equipment, showers which leak over the outside floor due to poor shower stall fittings but worse was our previous stay when cleaners left our door open after doing...

Clean room, comfortable bed and good location near restaurants and bus terminal. It was cheaper booking through an outside booking site even when I asked the hotel for best price. Although it was nice to have terry bathrobes provided they were a small size and scratchy. The bar fridge was a lock system so unable to put our milk etc in. There was a note on fridge stating to contact hotel to remove...

Room - booked a single bedroom with spa for three nights over Easter. Room was spacious, clean and have everything you need. My young kids enjoyed the bath, although the jets were scary for my 4 year old. Service- check in and check out was fast. No invoice was offered at checkout though. I thought this was a feature of the express checkout, but no email of the folio was sent. Breakfast service...

Large clean rooms. Very convenient location, easy walk to the airport. Friendly staff.

The room wasn’t cleaned. The house keeper might only made up the bed. Previous guests drink and hair left on the bedside table.

Vibe is a stunning building with an amazing bar and restaurant area. Walking distance to the airport.

Stayed here as a rest stop for our weekend Perisher trip. The hotel is very clean and comfortable. It’s got parking right under in the basement which was super convenient. We enjoyed our stay!

If you make a quick trip to Canberra for leisure, I recommend this hotel, which locates just 10 min walk from the terminal building.  It is super convenient to hop a R3 bus to the city center.

Fifth time staying at the Vibe Canberra & it always lives up to expectations. Reception check in very quick, food was exceptional & staff were extremely polite & courteous. Highly recommended! Three minute walk to the airport which is very handy for an early morning flight.

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。

Despite a bit of walk to the Canberra Centre, it is a nice place to stay; relaxing environment, pleasant and helpful reception, comfy bed, good shower, v well cleaned up!

It's always a pleasure to enter the cosy reception area on a cold Canberra day. I was given an apartment with a fold out bed first. Felt like I would be in camping and not in a hotel. Called the reception and verbalised my concern. I got a wonderful upgrade without hesitation. Stay was wonderful. Didn't get the welcome drinks that were advertised but forgot about to ask for it....Had a very pleasant...

From the moment you pull up in the car at this hotel you realize it will have some challenges. All the spots are taken in front of the hotel at the 1/2 hour parking area nearest the check in and were for our entire three night stay. Instead you need to park in the garage below the building and try and figure out the maze into the hotel with no signage and poor lighting. (Don't even try to use the...

Superb location . Amazing views Friendly and helpful staff.

Great stay in Canberra I would have preferred a two bedroom apartment but settled for two one-bedroom apartments. Welcome drinks were appreciated and breakfast was excellent.

Friendly, cool and comfortable hotel in a fun part of Canberra. Highly recommend

Rooms where very cold even with the heating set on high, slept cold all night

The amenities were terrific especially for kids. Food was good, service also. Our cabin was tired, curtains had moth holes in them. Table was unbalanced my husband tired to fix it to no avail. very squeezey for a family of 4.

Had a lovely 2 night stay at Alivio, travelled to Canberra to attend a wedding. Stayed in a 2 bedroom villa and it was everything we needed. We were able to have dinner at the onsite restaurant so we didn’t have to go out and didn’t have to cater for our own meals. Meals were quite nice. Had breakfast there as well which was also nice but probably a bit too expensive to do it each day. Staff were...

Alivio Tourist Park ticks all the boxes. Great choice of accommodation. Lots of fun activities in the park including a swimming pool and spa, tennis court and table tennis. We had a ball!

Good privacy, fully equipped kitchen

Toilet is blocked which we didn't expect......but the location is not bad.

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.

While a great locations and the unit is certainly spacious & comfortable. Bedding, linen all as you would expect, but… The details disappointed. Constantly dripping tap in ensuite, Dirty curtains, broken light switch, wonky fan, cobwebs in windows, tv didn’t work (investigated and found aerial etc had been disconnected). Missing towel rail in ensuite, bracket still on the wall. Tv remote taped together...

I stayed in Phoenix apartments for a week and found it to be all I needed. Laundry was helpful (washing machine and iron both were used), and the kitchen made self-catering practical choice. Heating was good in lounge and bedroom, with plenty of winter sunlight through north-facing windows.

Overall a good place to stay Location is excellent, quiet area and close to all, the apartment is large and well appointed. bed was too soft for my liking had very thick topper mattress may need replacing need to revisit instructions signage in unit as it still talks of weekly internet charge which is not true as it is free wifi One aspect out of the control of the accommodation provider was the...

We booked a one room apartment in CityStyle for a 3 night mid-week stay. The room was spacious with a separate bedroom. The kitchen had all the utensils and equipment needed for self catering. Free parking is a big plus in Canberra and the information provided on book in explained well how to access the parking space. The units are within easy walking distance of the restaurants and shops in the...

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

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

I was inspired to leave this review after seeing there was only one other review on TripAdvisor. As you see from the photos these services apartments have generously large home sized rooms. The balconies are the same, mine with a great view over the pool below and Canberra. Canberrans hidden gem!! Full kitchen with everything required. Large gym, pool and BBQ areas. Parking also in secure garage with...

Pros: - nice apartment that is close to everything and walking distance from food and shops. - nice view. - pool was refreshing and a nice size. - walking distance from most things. - the double glassed windows kept the heat in but unfortunately it was quite warm when we went so we had to put the a/c on otherwise we couldn’t sleep because we would wake up hot. Cons: - one of the bathroom showers was...

Great apartments in the perfect location. Well furnished, good heating/cooling has good amenities.

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.
