Top National Museum of Australia Hotel Reviews

Novotel Canberra

8/10 Good

"Clean room and breakfast was very good"

Meriton Suites Canberra

8/10 Good

"We stayed in a 2-bedroom suite. The room was very nice, and we had a great stay!"

Nesuto Canberra

10/10 Excellent

"We recently had a four night stay in a Studio Room. This is not a Five Star hotel but met with all our expectations. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and had everything we needed and the price was reasonable. The shower over the bath could be a problem for elderly guests but we were able to handle it with caution. Reception staff were always cheerful and it was no problem to obtain additional fresh towels, tea, coffee etc. It is central to City Walk and Civic/Central shopping centers and nearby restaurants. It was a walkable distance to the War Memorable and Floriade even though a free shuttle bus was provided to see the flowers. We would certainly stay here again."

Canberra Accommodation Centre

8/10 Good

"For the price it was great light rail stop in front of accommodation. Everything was clean and accessible including kitchen a laundry. For the price it is great for Canberra accommodation"
