Great choice in Canberra, dine in!
Pros:

The restaurant is outstanding. Sort of an odd location in the hotel atrium, but both dinner and lunch were among my best meals in Australia. Well done

Cons:

The design is showing its age, especially in the rooms, but it was surprisingly comfortable

Overall a good experience and I would stay again.
Pros:

The staff were all lovely and very helpful.

Cons:

The eggs were slightly overcooked with no salt or pepper provided.
While the bathroom was clean the actual bath/shower was not as clean as I would expect for a 4.5 star hotel.

Deserves 5 Stars!!!
Pros:

I LOVE everything about this hotel! Such a proper hotel!! I haven been to many hotel around the world. This is the only hotel (except 5 stars hotel like Ritz Carlton or Langham) that still has real flower bouquets at its lobby, complete mini bar and fancy coffee maker and boiling pot ( SMEG!!) the staff are super friendly and very helpful.
Location is perfect; short walk to the Railway Station-I took a train to Sydney. And easy access to bus stop to go to the museums and Canberra Center.

Cons:

Nothing!

Comfortable, clean and convenient.

Their check-in & check-out were fast and smooth. On-site FREE parking was great. The room was clean and spacious.
