The Sebel Canberra Civic

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable and clean. Great location. Very quiet. Friendly staff. Only 4 minute walk to the Canberra Centre where you can also leave your car overnight. The only negative is the mini bar which was way too expensive. Would definitely stay again."

Mantra MacArthur Canberra

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay overall. The check-in and check-out process was quick and seamless, which made everything so easy. The rooms were clean and well presented, and the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. The location was also just 10 minutes max to the city centre, making it super convenient. It was a really pleasant experience and we would happily stay again!"
