Front desk staff were friendly, restaurant staff were polite but not warm or overly welcoming. The room was comfortable however the dooner cover kept seperating from the dooner, the bathroom exhaust fan didn't seem to cope with steam, the bathroom door did not close properly which meant my toddler could push open the door. Overall I would stay at QT Canberra again if there was a discount. The room was comfortable, and close to the city. The parking was expensive.

Spent a number of days at QT Canberra and overall very happy with the stay. Lovely staff and very helpful and created a lovely vibe, only downside was one or two in the dinning area seemed a little disinterested. The area around the hotel is nice and quiet but close enough to everything you need in Canberra and easy access to main routes. The room was very nice and spacious, well appointed, and comfortable. Only thing was a ramp/step outside the bathroom is a bit of a safety hazard, and some areas of skirtings/plugs could do with a clean. Did have a noisy neighbour next to use for a few nights and they slammed the door a lot, so just a note. But overall a nice quiet stay and comfortable so would happily recommend a stay here.

Was let down by QT Canberra. The room itself was mediocre. Bathroom was tiny and there was NO water pressure. I wasn’t able to wash my hair it was that bad! Sheets were dirty and had holes, the fitted sheet was also a flat sheet they laid across the mattress. Wifi was too slow to stream, so had to use phone data. Parking is $30 per day which is well overpriced for the area. Parking across the road (300m walk) is only $14 per day. Location is great, quick 5min walk to the main street. Lots of construction around the area, but didn’t hear it. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

QT is in a refurbished building so some of the infrastructure is a little old. My first room was 14 degrees and wouldn't heat so had to move to another room which was fine. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms nicely furnished. The wifi in the reception/bar/restaurant area is woeful, around 4 Mb/s so too slow to do a video meeting as I discovered. It's an easy walk into Canberra downtown.

On website everything looks good but when entered the room everything was so old and outdated. The room we got first night did not had heating system slept in cold room, the balcony door handle was broken and cold wind was coming from underneath the door. The next room was good. If people are getting charged for carpark then its the policy there should be a space for car. Overall i do not recommend this hotel for anyone
