Nesuto Canberra
Great location and brilliant suite, with everything you need. Comfy bed, fully equipped kitchen with an oven, and lovely bathroom, washing machine and dryer. The rooms were a little tired looking, but everything is spotlessly clean and works well. Staff are very helpful.

It was very close and at walking distance to the restaurants, the mall was just across it. Very convenient location. Room was clean and tidy and bathroom too.
