Our room was very new and clean, comfortable bed. We got upgraded to a one bedroom and complimentary of coffees for breakfast. We checked in very late and stayed only for a night, so we didn’t have the chance to experience other facilities of the hotel. The staff are very friendly. We definitely will stay again next time.

The hotel has had a facelift so decided to stay. Turns out the rooms haven’t. Rooms are quite old. And the wifi was so slow - I travel a lot for work and was the worst I’ve experienced in awhile.

Parking can be a bit tricky, especially if you have to carry bags back to the accommodation. Staff don’t tell you at the desk what facilities are available to guests.

Friendly staff on arrival. Explained everything we needed to know. Room was clean, bed was awesome-so comfortable. Location was very convenient. The only downside is the lack of onsite parking, but that’s ok as there is plenty on the street. As Canberra is a place we frequently visit we will stay here again.

Good location, a short walk from Braddon's shops and bars. The room is comfortableand well equipped but the cleaning is not to a high standard, there were long hairs around the sink and grubby marks on the toilet wall. Parking is a bit limited. The rooms do not include free bottled water but you can purchase downstairs. The free hotel Wifi is useless, very week signal and very slow - very frustrating for a business traveller. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
