    spacious room
    cozy corner
    decent breakfast
    tight parking
    stressful experience

    I had a great experience at Novotel Canberra! The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the city center and nearby restaurants. My room was spacious and very clean. It had a cozy corner where I could relax with a book. The breakfast included was decent, providing enough variety to start my day right.

    The parking was a bit tight and stressful.

    prime location
    decent breakfast
    excellent cocktails
    dated decor
    tired furnishings

    The location was a prime spot for exploring Canberra, just a hop away from some culinary gems like Jolimont Bistro & Coffee Shop and Red Chilli Sichuan. Breakfast was decent too, offering enough variety to kickstart the day! Can't forget about the cocktails at the bar. they added a lovely touch to our evenings.

    The hotel’s vibe felt a bit tired and in need of a fresh coat of paint. The dated carpets and furnishings were a letdown. We wouldn’t rush back unless we had no choice but to stay overnight again.

    great location
    decent breakfast
    parking hassle

    The location excels, right next to public transport and close to a variety of shops and restaurants. The breakfast has a good spread, especially at the pre-booked rate of $20, making it a decent start to the day.

    The parking situation is a real hassle. tight spaces lead to a stressful experience, and the valet service is far from reassuring, especially with reports of missing items from cars parked there. The rooms feel old-fashioned, with dated furniture and noisy fridges that can disturb your sleep. Internet usage after a certain point incurs extra charges, which seems outdated for a hotel at this level. A long wait for meals, like 45 minutes for pizza, only adds to the frustration.

    Amazing hotel with free Wi-Fi, a fitness center, and 24-hour reception. The staff once helped me care for my elderly parents, which I still remember. I highly recommend this hotel for a great stay. I'm coming back for a romantic escape.

    Fantastic Family Getaway!

    Our stay was delightful! The staff were incredibly friendly, ensuring our kids felt welcome. The dinner at the hotel's restaurant was a highlight—delicious meals and great ambiance. Pro tip, arrive early for breakfast to avoid the rush. We loved our cozy room with ample space for everyone.

    family-sized spa
    friendly staff
    cold bathroom heating

    Had a fantastic stay with friends! We visited the family-sized spa for relaxation after exploring the local attractions. The location was perfect for reaching various events and enjoying the vibrant nightlife. The staff were friendly, and the breakfast service was top-notch, making our mornings enjoyable. Can't wait to return!

    However, the bathroom heating was lacking. It got pretty cold in there, making it uncomfortable at times.

    I had a pleasant stay with my family, really enjoyed the spacious rooms and the excellent breakfast despite the busy dining area. The pool was a refreshing treat, though it was a bit strong in chlorine. Overall, it was a nice experience, and I'd definitely consider returning.
