"Everything was fine and as expected. We have stayed at the Adina apartments before and would certainly look to do it again if ever we were back in Canberra. The staff were excellent and couldn't be faulted. Our only issue and it is a completely personal one was how soft the bed was and the use of loose fitting as opposed to fitted sheets. This we found a little difficult to get use to but apart from that we could not fault the facility or its staff. We would and have certainly recommended...

Pavilion on Northbourne

10/10 Excellent
"The rooms are a little dated but clean and functional. There was only one staff member on the front desk in the evenings, so there was quite a wait for help at different times. I like the opt out of housekeeping for $10 credit each day. Breakfast was good. The pool needed to be cleaned."

8/10 Good
"Current construction works for the light rail extension compromises what otherwise is a good location. The hotel itself seems a little tired, particularly in the hallways leading to the rooms and the room itself. The mattress was a bit soft for my liking."
