They charged for parking despite the booking site indicating free parking, shower had no hot water, and there are no fitness facilities on site despite photos indicating otherwise, and one staff member was decidedly rude.

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.

The experience with extra charges has been really disappointing. Expedia Booking rules didn’t clearly mention anything about any extra charges. And they charged me exorbitant prices for the snacks and drinks. I will not recommend this hotel to any of my friends.

Located close to landmarks, a short 10min walk to Parliament House or 25mins to the National Gallery of Australia. Friendly and helpful staff, small but very clean / sleek rooms. Beautiful lounge on L5 and L6 has a bar (10am -10pm) with a few fireplaces ! I’ll definitely be back there again on my next Canberra visit
