The rooms are clean and of adequate size even though the one we stayed in looked nothing like the one in the picture that showed what an average room looked like. There was very little natural light. Had to turn the light on in the day. However, it did stay nice and cool all day so we weren't coming back... More

Thank you for taking the time to review our accommodation. I do apologise for any inconvenience which you experienced and had you contacted one of our staff we would have immediately provided you with a tin opener. Our housekeeping contractors are generally very thorough on checking the units for items which may be missing but on this occasion they obviously... More

We have been unable to identify this particular client and the description of the accommodation unit does not seem to match any of the ones we manage. However we are assuming that this was one of our units and that we have therefore had a major failure of quality control. We have drawn this review to the attention of all... More

Watch out for this accommodation provider - also listed as Canberra Short Term Stays. The "staff", when you finally speak to them on the phone are rude and unhelpful. The room was overpriced, cold, dripping taps and in need of heating that worked. There are better places to stay - but Canberra seems to be an unfriendly place all round.... More

We very much regret that Travelling Mum was unhappy with our accommodation offerings. Our records show that she did not actually stay with us but left within a few minutes of arrival. We also regret that she considered our personnel to be rude and unhelpful as we place a very high priority on client service and insist on our people... More

We stayed in many different apartments and B&Bs in Australia and this was the most disappointing. It is difficult to explain why, because the apartment itself was clean and acceptable. The atmosphere about the place was impersonal. We arrive mid-afternoon on a Saturday and there appeared to be no-one to greet us. Admittedly the arrangements for entry had been sent... More

We appreciate all of our clients’ business and are very concerned that we did not meet this client’s expectations. We offer top of the range budget accommodation, which is well-located and spotlessly clean, at a very competitive tariff. We are not a hotel or motel but we manage individual apartments spread over a number of developments in several prestige suburbs.... More

Found this property on Trip Advisor, but was a little concerned by Helen M's review of the noisy person upstairs, so made sure I asked for an upstairs room so as not to experience the same issue. The system of booking works well, you are sent a confirmation telling you your room number and code to get into the building... More

Just spent 4 days here. It is well priced and the best value for accommodation for Canberra. Great location just a quick drive to Manuka and Kingston restaurants and cafes. Very quiet street. My room was well set up, I used the kitchen facilities everyday, and liked the little outdoor alfresco area as well, especially because it was undercover. Danni... More

The room had everything we needed and was close to the eye hospital. The only complaint was that the bed was too hard.

Smaller room and bathroom but adequate. Everything was very clean. A well equiped kitchen with the usual tea, coffee sugar and milk and complimentary fruit and biscuits. The bathroom had the usual soap, shampoo conditioner etc. Well priced. Would stay here again when in Canberra. I booked over the phone and the Lady on the other end was very pleasant... More

Stayed one night at McMillan. Whilst I knew I paid a reasonable rate (around AUD$120 per night), I felt I should have paid $10 more to stay for one of my usual hotels. The accommodation offered all you would expect from a $120 a night motel, reasonably clean, a kitchen with all utensils good enough for self-catering, a bathroom with... More
