It suited us for a one night stay, although desk/ bar lid was too slopy so that you really couldn't rest anything on it. Light switches were a challenge, bathroom lights dudnt seem ro work autonomously, only with bedside light switch.

Good, not sure if I would stay again
It was not a bad stay; the rooms were dark and musty, but it feels like that is the vibe the hotel is going for... All would have been lost if not for the service, it was fantastic.

Really nice hotel. Modern feel and staff helpful and friendly. Parking slightly confusing at first as is a public car park and no signs for the hotel to suggest you can park there. Room fridges are only room temp so if you want anything cold you can’t from the fridges. Location was far away from anything without travelling in relation to food and activities but overall the hotel is a nice place

I loved this stylish and friendly hotel in a great part of Canberra. The staff are very friendly and the room we stayed in was superb, particularly the bathroom. The breakfast is wonderful, not a buffet, but a proper cafe breakfast with a great choice, made to order. The only reasons not to give highest rating for everything were:1) a loose fitting in the bathroom and the soap being stuck to the wall too far from the bath to reach. 2) service was a little slow at breakfast. ( only two people so understandable and by no means not good, it’s just if I were to rate as excellent there’d have to be no wait and also no forgetting one drink. Otherwise a really great stay in a very cool and well appointed room. Also love the complimentary tote bag!

Didn’t live up to hype
We were supposed to have a complimentary drink on arrival. None was provided and we couldn’t be bothered asking. Tried to offer $40 parking overnight we found off street parking instead. Our room was facing the highway and was noisy, windows are thin as we were woken by neighbours as they came back late and talked loudly for over an hour. There was dirty dishes and leftover hot food in corridors the whole time of our stay, it was pretty gross (hot chips and other leftover containers left overnight). We won’t be staying again.
