“Decent location and not bad for a few nights”

Reviewed 4 April 2013

“What a night!”

We selected this accommodation for its location and ease of being able to be self sufficient and breakfast included in the price. Advertised as being suitable for singles, couples and families (+5yrs) we thought it would be an ideal choice. Our experience was not the best, not because of the lodge itself, rather their property (house) over the road which... More

Thank you for taking the time to send a review. Unfortunately you had a poor experience with noise. Noise which bothers any guest, especially after 10pm, is not acceptable to us. We have a strict no noise policy and act quickly when problems are brought to our attention. We have a reception phone monitored 24 hours in case of such... More

It remains good value overall, but in... More

“Okay if you want basic and cheap with good breakfast”

Reviewed 24 August 2012

This was a cheap and convenient place to stay with a good breakfast provision included and with friendly staff and fellow guests. This is a bonus in Canberra where accommodation can be reasonably expensive. There was also plenty of room for parking my car. However, the Lodge does leave a lot to be desired. Shared Bathroom, though clean, was very... More

Thanks for your review and your appreciation of the requirements of budget accommodation. Victor Lodge is indeed budget accommodation in a great location. The price point reflects the simplicity and size of the rooms and with a continental breakfast included makes for rare value in the Canberra market.

“definitely recommend for those on a budget”

Reviewed 24 April 2012

cheap but decent. Room was basic, but shared showers/toilets were clean, staff helpful, and kitchen was decent. Close to trendy areas of Kingston and Manaka (with restaurants, shops).

“Average but value for money in expensive Canberra”

Reviewed 1 April 2012

Stayed here for two nights in a single room. The room smelt a little musty but not unbearably so. Some noise from other guests, but you could perhaps avoid this if you ask for a room less close to the shared bathrooms, and it didn't continue late into the night. Towel provided but without soap. Those are the negatives. The... More

Great to hear from you and pleased you enjoyed your experience. Most times a life experience like travel is what you make it. Good basic accommodation and friedly service don't get in the way of a positive attitude and can actually add something. No tvs, aircon, fluffy bathrobes or shampoo but it works! Thanks for sharing your opinion. More
