Crowne Plaza Canberra by IHG
Rooks was comfortable, staff very cooperative. The pool was a disaster. Considering it was a Crown property, the pool was dirty and was full of dirt and leaves. Totally unacceptable

Nesuto Canberra
Room was clean. King bed very comfortable. Staff very obliging. Enjoyed the pool but it’s a shame that there is no spa tub now. Also, access via stairs for the last two flights is not ideal for people with mobility issues. Location to shops, restaurants is excellent.. everything within walking ...

Little Drifter Canberra
The property is a perfect place to stay in Canberra. The guide in the room was personal and included such good recommendations for dining out! We were very impressed with the restaurants and the apartment was just a short walk from everywhere. Could not recommend anything better !
