Rydges Canberra
This hotel is now getting a little dated. My shower wa pretty old. The reality is that it was cheap to stay here and for the cost it was excellent. I am happy to have affordable nice accomodation. At the end of the day it is somewhere to sleep. The breakfast was dry md pretty ordinary.

Forrest Hotel and Apartments
We had a wonderful stay, everything was easy; access, parking, facilities. My mother has limited mobility and we found it easy to navigate to and from the apartment, as well as inside. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in Canberra

Hotel Realm
The place is elegant and beautiful. The rooms are comfortable and the amenities were very good. The staff was also very kind. The buffet breakfast was wonderful, although we could use warm plates in the cold season. The side bed tables also were dusty
