Top Australian National University Hotel Reviews
The Sebel Canberra Civic
"Superb location with bus stops directly in front of the hotel, retail stores just around the corner and a selection of delicious restaurants (such as Lilong) within walking distance. The apartment is clean and comfortable, and the pre-arrival communication is prompt and helpful."
Adina Serviced Apartments Canberra James Court
"Has two bathrooms even for a 2 bedroom place, it was great. Everything in working order and clean. Close to everything, walkable to Floriade shuttle and all the popular eateries."
A by Adina Canberra
"Location was excellent, staff were great. Clear communication and space was just right."
Avenue Hotel Canberra
"Room was comfortable, although straight infront of the drive way entry. Breakfast was excellent . Parking is additional, but plenty to choose from."
Pavilion on Northbourne
"Stayed 3 nights in a one bedroom serviced apartment, with free wi-fi and smart tvs. It was clean, if a bit tired - the main carpet needed shampooing. The location was convenient, with free secure parking and a light rail stop nearby. Staff were friendly and responsive. Amenities were functional, with a gymnasium, outdoor pool and coin operated laundry. The Atrium restaurant and bar provided a relaxing space for drinks, snacks or a meal. I would have preferred to be able to order individual breakfast items rather than a full or continental buffet. I would definitely stay at The Pavillion when next in Canberra."
Madison Capital Executive Apartments
"Breakfast ordinary but free. So you get what you pay for… it was appreciated. We like it for its location and value…."
Meriton Suites Canberra
"Loved our stay. There wasn’t anywhere to drop off my guests at reception though, had to turn the hazards on and stop in a loading zone. The pool was great."
Canberra Accommodation Centre
"Here’s a polished version of your review: The staff were very cooperative and friendly, and the kitchen facilities were excellent. However, the rooms were quite small. I booked two rooms for four adults. In my room, I tried to turn off the heating, but I couldn’t stop it, so I had to open the fan instead. In the other room, the heating was not working. Overall, despite these minor issues, I had a good experience and would be happy with my stay."
Crowne Plaza Canberra by IHG
"Breakfast is so good and amazing."
