Avenue Hotel Canberra
The Sebel Canberra Civic
Very comfortable and clean. Great location. Very quiet. Friendly staff. Only 4 minute walk to the Canberra Centre where you can also leave your car overnight. The only negative is the mini bar which was way too expensive. Would definitely stay again.

The most amazing room and view. The food at restaurant was fantastic for dinner and breakfast. Staff are friendly and professional. I will be back. This place is a must if you are staying in Canberra. I have stayed at many places and this is one of the best.
