The room was lovely with a very comfortable bed. My only small complaint was that the minibar wasn't restocked on Saturday. I'd taken a couple of drinks from the fridge and could really have done with replacements on Saturday night and Sunday morning! Otherwise, a very nice hotel, walkable to the National Museum and to the city, and the staff at reception were lovely.

We like QT hotels & this one is convenient to ANU. Nice rooms. Clean. Helpful staff. But…. I’ve stayed there twice in the past year & both times the construction noise level is ridiculous —-right outside the window Mon-Sat. Nice bar but I really wish there was a quiet space you could byo wine & snacks & chat with other guests/friends staying the same nights (without the beef for perching on the end of their bed!). I did try the level 15 ‘lounge’ but was told very directly by a staff member that is not public access - functions only. I thought I was imagining it but confirmed it with others: there is quite a weird & unpleasant smell at the receotion counter at times.

I stayed in the king room and informed staff that was with infant. Although the cot that provided was great, the rest of the room was not. while I understand hotels are not baby proofed, what I found in our room was shocking. A bag of malteasers had been split under the chair and on the balcony by previous guests and not cleaned up. I did not realize this until I noticed my baby choking on one. The second night I found 3 bottles of half emptied alcohol under the bed. also a risk

Food service was too long and our food was nearly taken by someone else as there is no system in place to get to the right person. And found it appalling that I had to pay for parking after paying 800.00 for a 3 night stay, I would not stay there again and would not recommend to friends or family your service desk staff are obviously in the wrong jobs as no smile or greeting on arrival or departure. The showers are full of mould needs to be cleaned properly by cleaner.

It’s Difficult for Canberra to compete with QT Sydney the buildings are poles apart. Staff are just as pleasing. Overall Sydney wins hands down. But QT is our first choice for Canberra. All round another good experience. Roadwork around the hotel was annoying.

Parking is $30. Staff are very helpful. Amazing foyer. Yummy breakfast. Great last minute room deal. The room was very nice. It very hot outside and the air con was working overtime, and having trouble cooling the room so I am sure some guests would have found the room too warm. The shower had some mould in the tiles but otherwise was a great bathroom. Great location.
