A notice on the Marque Hotel Canberra's website states that due to the expiry of their lease the hotel has ceased trading on 30 Nov 2011 and is no longer part of the Rendesvous Group of hotels. The site is abandoned with construction fencing around it. There is no current indication if another hotel chain will take up a lease... More

Just awful. Noisy location, tired and shabby rooms, poor service, the external pool was filthy. The bathrooms are barely adequate and the bedrooms - well - dark, dingy and totally forgettable. If you like depressing environments this place will rock your boat! More

This hotel is presently undergoing renovations but is quite habitable. It is located on the edge of the city's business district,tucked away on a side street close to the entrance of King's Park.it is very quiet but also in easy walking distance to restaurants,shops etc. The room we were assigned had already been renovated and despite having an unusual lay...

Unfortunately I was unable to secure any other accommodation in Canberra for 3 November 2011 and although I read risky reviews I had no option other than to stay at the Marque Hotel, Canberra due to the limitations of my travel allowance but generally quite sufficient to secure decent accommodation. On arrival reception was efficient. I decided to walk up... More

I had a one night stay on business. Check in was fine - I was upgraded as the hotel was not very full. The room was huge - a suite, it was comfortable and with good furniture. Showing its age a bit. I had a meal in the hotel and despite the awards on the wall it was only average... More

We visited Canberra over the October long weekend to go to Floriade. Over the weekend the room rate was $214 per night. On arrival in the room we found that the toilet still had contents and paper in it, hairs on the sink, fruit pips on the floor, crumbs under the table which also had not been wiped down. We... More

We travelled with a group. Many rooms had contantly running or dripping taps. Very heavy & loud closing doors. No porterage on arrival or departure. Limited staff. Cleanliness of rooms poor. Food selection was very poor for a group (night time meals). Breakfast selection (buffet) okay. Apparently motel closing down later in the year, so no-one seems to care. Group... More

everything is tatty, peeling paint, old carpets, blinds and lights that don't work, televisions of 1985 vintage...in fact the whole place is early 80s vintage. the 'exercise room' is utterly appalling and the buffet breakfast -when the staff put out plates and remember to top up the food - is of school camp quality. for $200+ a night, this place...

This would have to be the worst, overpriced hotel in Australia. The only good thing is the photo on their web site, beyond that it really is a joke. On my way to a rear standard room, tripped over the holes in the hallway carpets. Room overlooks a sheet metal roof, with a balcony with no outdoor furniture and was... More

I chose this hotel from it's website, pool, restaurant, bar, deluxe rooms with a beautiful photo of a suite. Well this is not what you get. It's very run down, but they are pulling it down in December 2011. I was really disappointed in the rooms, they are rather ordinary and the bathrooms have lots of mould. The carpets in... More
