Top South Canberra Hotel Reviews

Punthill Narrabundah

8/10 Good

"Great place to stay, was clean, had everything we needed and friendly staff."

Avenue Hotel Canberra

8/10 Good

"No complimentary water is provided in the rooms. Supplying at least one bottle of drinking water is standard practice across hotels and should be implemented. On the first night (Friday, 16‑10‑2026), although a small table for two was available at the restaurant, the receptionist refused to seat me for dining solely because I was a single guest and instead offered a bar stool, which I declined. This behaviour is unacceptable, and management should take corrective action regarding this staff member."

Knightsbridge Canberra

"Excellent staff, a very well run property. Good position with plenty of restaurants nearby. Would highly recommend."
