Mantra on Northbourne Canberra

8/10 Good

"Good location, ten minute walk to the town centre and light rail right outside. The hotel is not new but is clean and tidy. Staff were friendly and helpful. I arrived early and whilst my room was not ready, they put me in another one straight away."

Avenue Hotel Canberra

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in an accessible room and it was a good size and well thought out. Room door was not too heavy unlike other hotels, and position was good relative to lift. Breakfast was a well provisioned buffet. Coffee was only a coffee machine so we went out for that. A Bircher muesli option was the missing ingredient"
