I hope the room is cleaner and bigger next time.
Pros:

Location was great in Canberra.

Cons:

Hotel room was not clean. I found fake eyelashes attached on the towel. Carpet floor did not seem clean. I can see dust on the shelf in the bathroom.
Overall the room condition was not great. It was very small and not clean. I was not satisfied with this hotel. You cannot even open the door properly due to the bed. The room is that small.

Also the hotel building is not accessible especially pram.

Sorry i would not go here again in my next visit to Canberra.

From the minute we arrived, the staff were extremely warm and welcoming. All staff were very polite and helpful with any questions we had about local sites and places of interest. You have an awesome reception team!

Cons:

All good.

Beautiful heritage hotel in historic Canberra.
Pros:

The Kurrajong has been.my hotel of choice in Canberra for many years. It beautifully presents the historical importance and heritage of the building, and is very comfortable. It is very conveniently located in the parliamentary triangle, close to attractions such as Parliament House, Old Parliament House, the National Gallery and the Portrait Gallery.

Cons:

No complaints, but the hotel would be even better if a fresh fruit salad were available with the breakfast buffet and if toilet brushes were provided in guest bathrooms

The room was clean and just like in the photos. And the bed was comfy. I checked in very late and it was a last minute booking, the receptionist on duty that night was so helpful in getting me checked in that late at night(around midnight).

A spacious room tastefully furnished, that ticked all the comfort boxes.
Pros:

Our room was spacious and very tastefully furnished with two tub chairs, a desk, a wardrobe, a cupboard with fridge and tea and coffee making facilities, a spacious bathroom and a king size, very comfie bed.
I loved that it had large windows overlooking the trees and garden outside. It felt very homely to me.

I honestly couldn’t fault our beautiful room!
