Booked and stayed here for a work trip. Was a really good price. I had forgotten that I had stayed her a couple of years ago. Standard room. Bathroom was good size and I think has been renovated. Flat screen tv with a few Foxtel channels too. Everything was clean and place was secure. Service was friendly and the breakfast... More

This is pretty much a slightly-redecorated old-school motel with a restaurant bolted on. At least I only spent $99. The bed was extremely hard, the room small, and you could hear EVERYTHING from the courtyard outside, including actual conversations at a normal volume and washing machines on the far side.This is NOT for a romantic destination! The professional photos on... More

Forrest apartment its not great but good enough to spend there a night during our road trip. Cleaning was not perfect but good. The room had tv, fridge, kattle, air conditioning. Reception girl was nice and helpful. The parking in front of the room is also good and free. Its just more a motel type of accomodation. A little noisy... More

Only stayed here for 1 night in Canberra. The design of the apartment was quite odd, the front door enters in the main bedroom where there is a desk, small tv and queen sized bed. Another door leads into the second bedroom which also has a desk, small tv and fold out bed. In the second room is oddly, the... More

Stayed here one night for work in November. Rooms are very small with a very hard bed. Bathroom is tiny but fairly clean. Only stay if this what your budget can afford. Fairly close to city with parking More

We paid $185 per night for a 2 bedroom apartment. The lounge room seemed to have been renovated with a new lounge suite and flat tv mounted to the wall. The laundry also had the latest washing machine and dryer. However, the rest of the apartment was very old. Our bathroom had pink and grey tiles like you would have... More

We had very welcoming hosts at all our hotels/motels including big chains until we got here. The room was cramped with no facilities and the toilet was stained. The only good thing was that there was a nice club around the corner for our evening meals. The place needs some investment! More

Unfortunately i stayed in the oldest section of this hotel and the walls were made of paper, my radio alarm clock didn't work and my bedside had a decided lean to it. I arrived into Canberra on the evening flight and only just made it to the hotel before reception closed. The staff member on duty couldn't get me out... More

We travel to Canberra regularly and came across this place on wotif, not a bad little apartment with everything that is needed for a holiday. They are old apartments that have had rather nice renovations. We had a washing machine/dryer, full kitchen, Samsung LCD tv, fox movie channels, Queen bed was comfy. The best thing about it though.....was the location!... More

Stayed for 1 night in delux studio apartment. Room was large, spotlessly clean & very comfortable, with a good size balcony. All staff, from reception through to restaurant & cleaners, were friendly & helpful. Location is also good, quiet but within walking distance of shops & restaurants. Will definately stay again. More
