"Everything was fine and as expected. We have stayed at the Adina apartments before and would certainly look to do it again if ever we were back in Canberra. The staff were excellent and couldn't be faulted. Our only issue and it is a completely personal one was how soft the bed was and the use of loose fitting as opposed to fitted sheets. This we found a little difficult to get use to but apart from that we could not fault the facility or its staff. We would and have certainly recommended...

Top Franklin Hotel Reviews

Meriton Suites Canberra

8/10 Good

"Very clean and well presented"

Deco Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Deco hotel is our favourite place to stay in Canberra. We have stayed in range of the 1-bed and 2-bed apartment configurations since 2020, and every stay is perfect! We cannot fault anything. The staff are consistently helpful and always have accommodated my requests, and the housekeeping staff are incredible. I do not know how they keep the showers looking as if they have just been built after 6 years. Parking is free, and easy to access. Rooms are very quiet considering the locations near Northbourne Ave. and Braddon. Apartments are very generously sized, great kitchen, laundry and well equipped with large sofas, + we have always had a balcony with chairs and table. Lovely bedding, range of pillows and good quality linens. The on-site restaurant, which we have only used once, is also very good. Special mention of Harpreet, on front desk, who has assisted us on our last 2 stays. His customer service is excellent - thank you! I feel the accomm is excellent value for the quality of the hotel and highly recommend"
