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.

Staff were lovely. Room service was limited in food choices and was not available after 8.00pm. Parts of the hotel look tired. Restaurant was expensive. Room was nice but no comparison to the sophistication of QT Perth.

We stayed at QT Canberra for a couple of nights. The rooms themselves whilst functional are a little dated and could do with an uplift however were fine overall. The restaurant & lobby were nice and the location of the hotel is convenient for accessing all parts of Canberra & the wider ACT via foot, bike, public transport or car.

It was a full hotel due to school holidays and I was in the end room next to the service lift and laundry collection point. Not a good start But the room was lovely (even though there was a building site opposite the hotel). The staff were fantastic and both the bar and restaurant are welcoming for the solo traveller.

Nicely appointed, particularly the lobby, restaurant and bar. Ask for a room away from the lifts which are quite noisy- you can hear them shuttling up and down the lift cavity. The lower floors do smell like they may have been smoking floors in a previous life before the renovation. I also found the shower water pressure and temperature underwhelming. I expected greater things having stayed in QT in Newcastle and Sydney. The hotel was quiet affordable but just be prepared your experience in Canberra may not match other experiences at QT hotels.

On website everything looks good but when entered the room everything was so old and outdated. The room we got first night did not had heating system slept in cold room, the balcony door handle was broken and cold wind was coming from underneath the door. The next room was good. If people are getting charged for carpark then its the policy there should be a space for car. Overall i do not recommend this hotel for anyone

This hotel used to be go to hotel in Canberra, but it not as good as it used to be. The rooms are looking a bit tired - but the bed was still very comfortable. The breakfast is now a la carte rather than a buffet
