A lovely stay overall, with excellent facilities, just slightly let down by the noise.
Pros:

A very attractive hotel with great facilities. I especially enjoyed the spa, sauna, steam room and pool, we went twice in a one night stay and really made the most of it.

Cons:

The rooms weren’t very soundproof, so there was noticeable street noise. Air conditioning didn’t work (even though we had maintenance come and re-set it).

Excellent stay in Canberra
Pros:

Incredible property. The hotel is beautiful, rooms are spacious and refined, provided amenities are plentiful, and everything is spotless. Great location for getting to meetings on the National Circuit and for being close to the lake. Staff were without exception friendly and helpful. The hotel and nearby dining were excellent and the gym with lap pool, sauna and steam room is a great addition! Highly recommend.

Great infrastructure and excellent staff
Pros:

Hotels are normally aseptic and transactional. However, Enea made my stay a great and highly personalised experience! It felt welcoming and at home! I will surely consider this hotel for my next stay in Camberra
