Top City East Hotel Reviews

Novotel Canberra

8/10 Good

"Our fourth stay at Canberra Novotel. Good location, friendly staff and good quality and quantity breakfast buffet. The disappointment is that the sauna has been permanently retired. "

Forrest Hotel and Apartments

8/10 Good

"In a good quiet location, nice grounds with plenty of free parking. The apartment was well equipped but it would have been nice to have two dinner plates the same size. The standard apartment we were in requires repainting. Staff friendly. We would stay here again but would probably upgrade to an executive apartment."

Abode Belconnen

6/10 Okay

"I tried to book an extra night and due to hotels.com app and customer service to be at a very low level I could not do it, staff member was reluctant to hold room until hotels.com rebooted so I ended up driving home, sad that I could have booked 1 more night but staff member was only interested in me booking direct, "
