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

“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

I like the ambience of this hotel and the staff are cheerful professional and friendly but the only request I made to them, for a printout of my invoice, they were unable to fulfill, apparently the printer was broken. The night before when I asked they said to go get my own copy in the library. If I asked them to get me an invoice why couldn’t they do it. I’m a 63 year old male, I need breakfast before I can deal with a printer. I thought it was pretty poor they wouldn’t help me with my request.

The ad on expedia is somewhat misleading as many of the pictures utilised are not of the Little National Canberra. They're from a selection of hotels in the Doma group within a 'precinct' . The gym facilities are not within the hotel, they're in another hotel and you have access to use them but I'm not certain whether it's free to use.

Great stay! Great value! Only note is there is a bit of construction going on currently around the outside of the hotel and is a consideration for future stays within the medium term.
