Deco Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel great location"

QT Canberra

8/10 Good

"We have stayed here before and has great location and in house amenities. Room was spacious and bed good. Lots of little things needed maintenance in the room this time. There were 3 lifts, but most of weekend only 1 was operating so long waits. Others were not out of action, just not turned on. On site parking is available for $35/night, but not guaranteed. A Sat night function took up a lot of parking and left little for guests. There are extensive long term road works directly in front of hotel making vehicle abd pedestrian access tricky. Some GPS' do not allow for that. Google Maps does. Ate in restaurant for dinner - variable quality food.Excellent breakfast and lunch spot directly across from back of hotel, Mocan and Green Grout. Also 24/7convenience store, and an expensive wine and food bar Rebel Rebel across the road."

Nesuto Canberra

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Nesuto Canberra while attending the NAIDOC basketball tournament for our son. The staff were absolutely fantastic—so friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything we needed. Their genuine care and positive attitude made us feel right at home. The hotel was comfortable, clean, and in a great location, making our busy tournament weekend so much easier. A big thank you to the entire team for your outstanding hospitality. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend Hotel Nesuto Canberra to anyone visiting the area!"
