QT Canberra

Novotel Canberra
"This property is a little dated and needs some upgrades. Vanity was not in the bathroom and bathroom tiles and screen not cleaned well with mould. It is a great location though. Food delicious in the restaurant but service was poor for the amount of clients"

Ovolo Canberra, a Wyndham Hotel

BreakFree Capital Tower
"Lovely property in a nice location with good staff, only improvement could be the housekeeping which isn’t included during your stay which is ok for a short stay but not a long stay when you would assume bed linens, towels, etc and vacuuming carpets would be included at least every few days."
