Our third stay here, housekeeping was not up to standard - they came into our room when we were sleeping; room was quite small, marks on walls, shower flooded every night, very dated.

First the bad news, not much , the shower in room 336 spills into the main bathroom and does not drain, and the shower mixer taps are really fiddly. Also forgot to mention to checkout the seat back of the office chair is about to come off. The rest is good, ultra clean, great bed, bit of an outlook, good barista girl, great 11am check out which gave me time for laps in the great pool and spa. Good overall price. Very well designed property, best I have come across with a brilliant atrium.

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Overpriced for a dated hotel in Canberra. Dodgy aircon blowing cold air even when off. View out our window was to an internal corridor, so we had to keep blinds closed. Breakfast buffet was understaffed, many items unavailable and a pretty poor experience. Staff seemed disinterested.

Property was not up to the standard of the Rydges. The whole hotel needed a clean. The carpets through the hotel were in desperate need of a vacuum. Room was tired. Breakfast in the morning was average with chipped serving dishes and cold food. Would not recommend.

The Rydges In Canberra was very nice hotel, the staff were very accommodating and the breakfast buffet was better than expected. Very close to shops, Parliament House and also a small walk to the football ground. I would definitely recommend and stay here again
