The room was very clean and the hotel was in a good location. The mattress was very soft, the shower water didn’t get quite hot enough and the parking situation wasn’t the best are my negatives The restaurant was great for breakfast and the bar made a perfect Margie (cocktail, not pizza) Staff were lovely as well

Modern hotel with little touches of luxury. Everything ticked the boxes from the super soft bed to beautiful hand soaps and lotions, except a shame it didn’t extend to quality toilet paper. Walking distance to Floriade and a restaurant and bar made this a hotel we would come back to.

I have stayed here often since the 80's when it was the Canberra Lakeside Hotel. Over the years it has definitely changed but I still enjoy the nostalgia of visiting this iconic hotel. The QT Canberra has given the hotel a newer and more vibrant atmosphere. Our room 708 was comfortable and had a nice outlook towards Parliament House and Lake Burley Griffin. Thank you to Wally on reception for giving us a great room for our visit. We hope to come back again in the future.
