The staff were really lovely. The vibe and amenities of the hotel were great and the bed was the comfiest I’ve ever slept in. We were sad it was only a one night stay and can’t wait to come back
The bed was the most comfortable cozy bed ever. Loved it. The amenities were excellent. The construction made it difficult to park. Never got the TV to work but don’t care much about that
Lovely quiet stay with comfy beds, excellent amenities and super close to plenty of dining options.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
“Little” is the operative term. The facilities are clean and modern. There is a nice lounge/working area but no restaurant (breakfast is available at a sister hotel across the street). It is ideal for a single working visitor but not enough space for two people .. the bed takes up a considerable portion of the room and can comfortably accommodate only one person
A great little property, the facilities were fantastic including the nice room layout and the tea/coffee facilities. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. The location is close to the parliamentary triangle which made it easy to get around southern Canberra.
It was a nice stay for the price. There were nice cafes just walking distance from the hotel.
Just would have been nice if there was a little bit more sound proofing on the entry door.
