Was a comfortable stay for a quick overnight accomodation. I wouldn’t book this hotel as part of a holiday
Pros:

Parking was easy and not hard to find and was also a short distance to reception which I appreciate.
Person at the bar on Tuesday evening 27/10 was 10/10.
Bed and pillows were comfortable.

Cons:

Rather pricey for what I’d describe as a mid-range accommodation.
Reception staff weren’t too inviting.
My room was a little run down. Muck buildup in corners of bathroom/shower. No USB plugs. Evening menu rather limited.

Great location but beds need a refresh
Pros:

Location is great, an easy walk to restaurants in Manuka

Cons:

The bed was either old or broken and I was rolling out of it and almost on to the floor at one point, it was really uncomfortable

Disappointing considering it was a lot of money
Pros:

Location wasn’t too bad

Cons:

The room was dirty, bathroom was dirty, the child bed wasn’t made up and had to ask for sheets, when we pulled out the bed it was disgusting and so my daughter had to sleep curled up on the couch. The breakfast was awful, all the tables were dirty, nobody greeted us, all plates, cups etc were dirty, the food was ok but impossible to find something clean to put it on.

Great high-class hotel with amazing indoor courtyard garden / dining room & bar. Close to Parliament House High
Pros:

Stunning hotel right near Parliament House. Amazing covered central courtyard garden/ dining room and bar, with mature trees and lush ferns. Food was great. Service excellent. Room was large and very comfortable.

Cons:

We looked an Executive Queen room but were given a room with two double beds. We are a couple. Sleeping in a small double bed was a little annoying.
