I am in Canberra once to twice a month from Sydney and have stayed at the Hotel Realm each time. Very good location, great service, and very easy stay. On my first stay I asked for a room on a higher floor as I typically do when staying at a hotel for the first time, just to ensure any traffic/people... More

We landed here courtesy of an 'upgrade' on our weekend bed and breakfast deal at the neighbouring Burbury. Really it was a faultless experience. Checkin was fast and smooth, we were allocated a clean cut corporate style room on the top (executive) floor with a view to Parliament House, parking was easy and convenient under the hotel. The atrium of... More

I thought the amenities and room size where quite good; the decor is spare and modern, I prefer the Hyatt Canberra in that department. The pool, sauna/spa were great (free to use) and while the gym looked fitted out with all manner of equipment, I didn't want to fork out $15 to use the facilities. The breakfast that came with...

We had an over night stay in January. Could not complain. Staff are great, Food is fantastic and the rooms are large and very comfortable. We have 2 small children and the restaurant staff we great with them, nothing was to much trouble. It is a very corporate looking hotel but we like the look. If we are in Canberra... More

We were told there is not a lot of choice when wanting to find quality hotel accommodation in Canberra. With the hotel Realm we were pleasantly surprised. The rooms were self contained, modern, very clean, ours with a pleasant balcony. the bathroom was quite spacious with a large bath and L'Occitane products. It has a modern trendy feel throughout with... More

We have friends who live in Forrest and so were primarily looking for a place within walking distance of their place. Hotel Realm fit the bill. The Hotel looks great in the photos online, but we found that in person the hotel is not at all welcoming and actually rather uninviting. The rooms are fine but a little dull. Its... More

We obtained a very good last minute rate on Wotif, to stay in Canberra over New Year's Eve. The desk staff were fine with helping with check in and information regarding the city, albeit a touch aloof. I would agree with another reviewer though, that you are on your own in regards to handling your suitcases. The room was quite... More

We stayed for 2 nights in October 2011 and will not return to this hotel again. The pictures on the website look inviting however the reality is a different story. Like other reviewers we found the staff to be indifferent and unhelpful. Staff are also not on hand to greet you as you drive into the hotel or help you... More

Good afternoon, Thank you for your comments on Trip Advisor from the 10th January 2012. I sincerely apologise for the difficulties you faced during your stay at the Hotel Realm. The hotel will be undergoing a soft-refurbishment during 2012, including retiling of bathrooms. The basement car parking can be tricky but we have clear signage in place to assist in... More

We got on Wotif on 30/12 to find a hotel room for NYE, and stumbled on a highly discounted deal. I personally wouldn't pay the normal rates for any hotel room, but was very happy to pay the discounted rate for a romantic night in! Very sizeable kitchen"ette", nice big comfy king-size bed, and oversized bath, and lovely L'Occitane shampoo... More

We arrived well before check in time due to flight constraints and were hoping to leave our luggage there and head off sight seeing. To our delight, they offered to check us in straight away at 9.30 am which we were very pleased about. The room was well appointed, bright, with an exceptionally comfortable bed. Everything is new, clean and... More
