Top City East Hotel Reviews

The Sebel Canberra Civic

8/10 Good

"Hotel was clean, very close to the shopping centre, the biggest letdown for this hotel was the lack of car parking, the car park was close to 0.5 kms away which is not acceptable carrying luggage from car to apartment and back, I ended staying at another car park 170 metres away and paid full price for the park"
