Top Bruce Hotel Reviews

The Sebel Canberra Civic

10/10 Excellent

"Well located property with flexible room capacity. Clean and well maintained rooms, equipped with a kitchenette. We were able to get a room for three people on a busy weekend for a good rate."

Avenue Hotel Canberra

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved our stay at The Avenue Hotel. Reception staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming. Our room was very well appointed & spotlessly clean. Would definitely recommend having breakfast if staying at The Avenue there was a great selection and everything l chose was delicious. On top of all that great location to get around and see everything Canberra has to offer. Would definitely stay again next time I visit Canberra."

Hyatt Hotel Canberra - a Park Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"I would return to the Hyatt in a heartbeat. Old school charm without the chintz feels. Elegant. Staff were lovely especially Ben in reception. Facilities were great. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom had the best amenities and shower pressure. Will try the breakfast next time. It was too busy (school hols). They even have a hotel dog Pixie (lab). V happy and impressed and it’s now my favourite Canberra hotel."

Abode Belconnen

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is located in a quiet area, with a place to park your car overnight and a Woolies across the road. Kitchenette makes self-catering possible, but we just ordered room service (didn't wait long at all - reasonably priced). Bed was soft with crisp linen. Room was clean. We were able to stream onto the big TV from our devices. All up: great spot!"
