Top City West Hotel Reviews

The Sebel Canberra Civic

10/10 Excellent

"Well located property with flexible room capacity. Clean and well maintained rooms, equipped with a kitchenette. We were able to get a room for three people on a busy weekend for a good rate."

Avenue Hotel Canberra

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved our stay at The Avenue Hotel. Reception staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming. Our room was very well appointed & spotlessly clean. Would definitely recommend having breakfast if staying at The Avenue there was a great selection and everything l chose was delicious. On top of all that great location to get around and see everything Canberra has to offer. Would definitely stay again next time I visit Canberra."

Abode Belconnen

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is located in a quiet area, with a place to park your car overnight and a Woolies across the road. Kitchenette makes self-catering possible, but we just ordered room service (didn't wait long at all - reasonably priced). Bed was soft with crisp linen. Room was clean. We were able to stream onto the big TV from our devices. All up: great spot!"
