Pros:

Greatly location. Close to shops and restaurants. No on-site parking but there's a public parking lot opposite the hotel. Comfortable bed and good bathroom layout. Washer/dryer in the room was great. Would have liked a coffee pod machine.

Check staff might want to be more informed about facilities to be told there is no parking and i would have to top up the meter every four hrs caused stress for no reason

Pros:

On the plus side it is central to all tourist spots, large room and well-equipped kitchen and comfortable king size bed.
On the minus the room only had one lounge chair but set up for 2 people and the parking was over the road at easy park with paid parking between 8.30am till 5.30pm.

Pros:

A convenient economy accommodation in a conveneint spot if you have a vehicle. Unfortunately the receptionist couldnt give us any parking information and after a bit of research we discovered we could download the EasyPark app and pay a day pass for the car park across the road. The receptionist also missed out providing info on gym access. All in all they didnt seem too keen to extend information which was a bit of a shame.
Water pipes on the 1st floor where we stayed were noisy and squeaky at times.
Overall okay for the 2 nights stay we had.

Pros:

The family studio was spotless, spacious and very comfortable for 2 adults and 2 teens. Had everything we needed for an overnight stay. Excellent parking option directly across the road that was free on the weekend. Very short walk to Westfield and 15 min drive to all major attractions in Canberra. Would happily stay again.

Room is okay
Pros:

The room itself was pretty good, spacious and clean. My kids love the stay. However, our check in experience wasn’t that good. There was no one at the front desk, and we ended up waiting about 10-15 minutes for someone to check us in. The staff member seemed impatient when we asked about parking and breakfast options, and the info we were told was different from what we found on website.

Great stay in Canberra
Pros:

Wonderful apartment studio, had everything that we needed included a microwave. The bed wasn't the best, too soft for my liking. Otherwise having free parking across the road on weekends is a bonus.

Pros:

Again chosen based on budget. We’ve stayed at abode Woden many times. It’s consistent clean and reliably comfortable.
This time we went to see the Whitlams supported by the Moriarty brothers Phil & Mick (The Gadfly’s) top night!
Having had a few too many drinks post a funeral in Sydney the day before god bless the Henson Park Hotel for the wake.
We tried finding food in Woden at just after 9.30, what a joke! Woden somebody stay open a little longer please 🙏.
Anyway slurring words down the phone in a desperate attempt to get a pizza delivery. I was met with laughter ‘mate I’m in Queensland’. Poor poor pitiful me. We starved.

Pros:

This hotel is very close to Canberra hospital, making it ideal for our frequent trips for medicals. The views aren't much but that is balanced by comfort and convenience. There is also a great cafe open all day and a pantry for picking up bits and pieces. We stay there fairly regularly and found the staff to be helpful and friendly.
