Everything about Hotel Realm was exceptional! The reception staff were friendly, welcoming, courteous, professional, and extremely helpful. The room was spacious, modern, clean and comfortable. Bathroom was very user friendly with excellent water pressure in the shower! The best equipped gym of any hotel i have ever stayed in with the bonus of a 25m lap pool, spa, sauna and steam room facilities attached. We had dinner at Ostani restaraunt/bar, which had a great atmosphere and fantastic staff. Good variety on the menu, well priced, and DELICIOUS!! (Moroccon Lamb backstrap was outstanding!!!!!!!) Breakfast from Maple & Clove was also super tasty, with a good selection of fresh juices and smooties to complement the meals. (Great coffee too)

I booked a one-bedroom apartment suite for a 4 night stay. The suite was spacious and had a lovely balcony to sit out on, a small kitchen with a decent sized fridge and everything you might need to be reasonably self-sufficient. The staff were extremely helpful at every turn. The bar downstairs has a nice, relaxed atmosphere. The only negative was the bathroom shower which was in urgent need of renewal. Definitely not up to 5* standard in its current state and not properly clean on arrival. All up, I would definitely stay here again, especially for a longer stay, as the apartment was spacious and comfortable. Hopefully the bathroom upgrades will be completed soon.

Amazing

Wow. What a beautiful place. I booked a room with King bed and was on Level 3, and while my balcony overlooked a construction site, I could still catch a glimpse of the back of Parliament House. My whole stay was easy and magnificent. Free (secure) parking, easy walking distance to the lake, old (and new) Kingston and Manuka and close to eateries. My room had a bathtub (luxe!) and ample space for just me. There was a full-sized fridge which was super handy for leftover storage, and a coffeepod machine. The whole room was super well appointed and I can't wait to come back to stay. Staff were friendly and attentive.
