Nice roof top bar.
Pros:

We stayed here for a function at the hotel so it was convenient for us. It has a nice bar on the roof top.

Cons:

A little far from the CBD. It’s close to the tram stop. The rooms were noticeable if poor quality interior and the lifts were falling apart.

Pros:

Room was beautiful - great to have access to pool and gym.

Cons:

Room service didn’t start until 7.30am so no access to good coffee in hotel or surrounding area within walking distance on weekend until 7.30am at earliest.

Pros:

The room was clean

Cons:

The bathroom door didn't shut/lock, the shower went hot and cold constantly, no wine glasses, plates or cutlery in the room. The bigest disappointment was being told by the hotel it would have been cheaper to go directly through them. I would have got breakfast included and still saved 100 on the overall price. Booking.com is a joke and will not use them again!

High standard with excellent top floor restaurant
Pros:

The room and bathroom were of very good quality. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant and cocktail bar on the top floor with an amazing view of Canberra was a great place to spend the evening.

Pleasent but make sure you request a QUIET room, especially if they have a function on !
Pros:

The location is excellent and the staff are helpful

Cons:

Our room was backing on to the elevators and when someone would get off on our floor and were talking it was very noisy and seemed like they were in the same room as you, so be careful when booking your room here that you are not up against the elevators, my bad, I should have gone and complained and changed rooms, but a lesson well learned for next time.
