10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and basic breakfast included"

Hyatt Hotel Canberra - a Park Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful architecture from the 1920s when Parliament House opened in 1927. Restored to perfection. All the staff were migrants and all outstandingly polite friendly and helpful and I loved Pixel the Labrador the ex sniffer dog who lives with the General Manager I believe It’s an elegant statement of a bygone era and well managed. It’s a credit to everyone from front staff to the GM Well done"

The Sebel Canberra Civic

8/10 Good

"Excellent location, in the city centre, within walking distance of so much. The room is a great design, spacious with very useful kitchen and dining facilities. Very comfortable for my extended stay. Staff are very friendly, helpful and professional. My only concern was cleaning. Room was not vacuumed over my 19 night stay, toilet and general bathroom cleanliness not great."
