An excellent affordable option for singles, couples and families alike. Harks back to the 1950's but that just adds to the charm. Very peaceful, well located and good range of breakfast options in the buffett. We will be back! More

Having read the reviews, I was expecting University House to be retro in its decor, with good bathrooms, no lifts and a pleasant central grassy area. It was all of those. I was also expecting it to be quiet and appealing. Sadly, it was neither. I had asked for a quiet room when I rang and booked, instead we were... More

Thoroughly enjoyed the stay here. Rooms are old, however they are decked out in the latest accessories. Bathroom well equipped and did enjoy the stay. Usual web abuse of $10/day. Boffins was really nice, the breakfast was good, and the service was very good. Super close to the academy of science. Would stay again. More

Yes, it is a blast from the 1950's but that's what makes it appealing. We stayed in December 2011 and found it quiet, clean and convenient. We loved the old style rooms and wooden furniture. Our executive room had a separate bedroom, large lounge and nice view. The gardens surrounding the hotel are lovely and breakfast is very good. However... More

If you loved the 70s and their decor, this is definitely where you want to stay. It's very retro in a non-ironic way (which is a bit of a worry). The rooms are huge, some come with a cute balcony, and they're in good shape--if you don't mind being transported back in time about 40 years.The location is not the... More

Very convenient location, and quiet. Very basic amenities - do not take too much luggage as there are no lifts, and you have to take your own luggage up flights of stairs. I had booked a 'suite' room, which was just a single room - when I enquired at reception, they said it was called a 'suite' because it had... More

This was my first stay at University House and from the information available online I was expecting something a little more retro chic in terms of furnishings, but the living room furniture in particular was most reminiscent of early Australian TV sitcom - TV excluded, of course! :). The living room and bedroom were also very dark if relying solely... More

It has been a few years since staying at the Uni House, but it was still a very pleasant stay. Nice surroundings, close to the city and the National Museum.The rooms are vey 50's - clean and roomy. Beds comfy - book early for the restaurant as we missed out. Parking good and Hotel's little balconies are a bonus. Would... More

University House is an excellent alternative to the big hotels in Canberra. It is well located on the beautiful ANU campus, an easy walk from Civic and offers a high standard of accommodation at lower cost than other hotels. It has a definite 50s vibe but that only adds to its appeal and it lacks none of the modern comforts... More
