Pavilion on Northbourne
Staff was very helpful. Room was clean. Disappointed that kitchen corner did not have a tap and small sink which made the use of a kettle difficult and the use of plates not possible as we had nowhere to wash them. The bathroom had only one face towel. Should have been two off.

The Sebel Canberra Civic
The room was clean and tidy, bed linen has a stain on it when we arrived, had to ask for tea coffee to be refilled not done automatically. Staff were very lovely and helpful and the location of the hotel for buses, shopping centre was absolutely spot on.
