On website everything looks good but when entered the room everything was so old and outdated. The room we got first night did not had heating system slept in cold room, the balcony door handle was broken and cold wind was coming from underneath the door. The next room was good. If people are getting charged for carpark then its the policy there should be a space for car. Overall i do not recommend this hotel for anyone

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Nicely appointed, particularly the lobby, restaurant and bar. Ask for a room away from the lifts which are quite noisy- you can hear them shuttling up and down the lift cavity. The lower floors do smell like they may have been smoking floors in a previous life before the renovation. I also found the shower water pressure and temperature underwhelming. I expected greater things having stayed in QT in Newcastle and Sydney. The hotel was quiet affordable but just be prepared your experience in Canberra may not match other experiences at QT hotels.

It was a full hotel due to school holidays and I was in the end room next to the service lift and laundry collection point. Not a good start But the room was lovely (even though there was a building site opposite the hotel). The staff were fantastic and both the bar and restaurant are welcoming for the solo traveller.

Appreciated the staff reception and cafe, quick and efficient. Some room noise perhaps dumb waiter or lift, understandable. Excellent cafe menu and breakfast. Good location once the city construction detours are factored into travel plans. Very happy to recommend
