“Comfort, location, staff, cleanliness 10/10”
14 May 2025

The room was clean, and the curtains provided good privacy.

“Truly a perfect option to stay in while visiting Canberra!”
07 May 2025
The staff are extremely kind, and the facilities are brand new. The beds are super comfortable, each with privacy curtains, personal lamps, power sockets, and a private locker. The kitchen is huge, with fridges and boxes to store personal groceries. It has all the utensils and appliances you need to cook, plus spacious dining tables. The common areas are amazing—there’s a pool table, super comfy couches, a co-working space with plenty of power outlets, and even a lovely rooftop to relax. The bathrooms and showers are clean and comfortable, and towels are available to buy at a very low price. The location is unbeatable—I got off the R3 airport bus, crossed the street, and the hotel was right there! Just 2 minutes’ walk from City Walk, with great restaurants, bars, and Canberra Centre close by. I couldn’t believe how affordable it was compared to other hotels in the area. This hotel has it all. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Canberra! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
