Top Molonglo River Reserve Hotel Reviews

Statesman Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The key/lock system works well once a lady from the bar explained that the combination was for the room not the building. Reception was closed when I arrived after 9.00pm. Fortunately I had little luggage and my room was only a few steps up, there's no lift. I heard one guest coming down complaining about no lift. He had two large suitcases. It was clean, I even did a bit of yoga on the floor. It was so nice to have a balcony on which I sunbaked in the late afternoon. The shower was terrific. Reception was helpful ordering my Uber as the acyual pickup address was different. A good stay in all."

"Good location. Close to local shops and CBD Parking is on another street and is a tight squeeze for big cars to park in the carport. Otherwise you park on the street. The ground unit is has a lot of light in the living area and is a reasonable size unit If any one is renting upstairs the sound proofing is not good. The host is very helpful, friendly and easy to communicate with. Overall a nice place to stay"

"This is a home in a very nice neighborhood. The home is outstanding. The only problem that we had during our stay was that the heating didn’t seem to work very well, but the owners of the property came with space heaters for the property and it was taken care of promptly within a matter of hours. I would highly recommend this property to anyone who is looking to rent i"
