Staff were lovely. Room service was limited in food choices and was not available after 8.00pm. Parts of the hotel look tired. Restaurant was expensive. Room was nice but no comparison to the sophistication of QT Perth.

Modern hotel with little touches of luxury. Everything ticked the boxes from the super soft bed to beautiful hand soaps and lotions, except a shame it didn’t extend to quality toilet paper. Walking distance to Floriade and a restaurant and bar made this a hotel we would come back to.

Front desk staff were friendly, restaurant staff were polite but not warm or overly welcoming. The room was comfortable however the dooner cover kept seperating from the dooner, the bathroom exhaust fan didn't seem to cope with steam, the bathroom door did not close properly which meant my toddler could push open the door. Overall I would stay at QT Canberra again if there was a discount. The room was comfortable, and close to the city. The parking was expensive.

Spent a number of days at QT Canberra and overall very happy with the stay. Lovely staff and very helpful and created a lovely vibe, only downside was one or two in the dinning area seemed a little disinterested. The area around the hotel is nice and quiet but close enough to everything you need in Canberra and easy access to main routes. The room was very nice and spacious, well appointed, and comfortable. Only thing was a ramp/step outside the bathroom is a bit of a safety hazard, and some areas of skirtings/plugs could do with a clean. Did have a noisy neighbour next to use for a few nights and they slammed the door a lot, so just a note. But overall a nice quiet stay and comfortable so would happily recommend a stay here.

Was let down by QT Canberra. The room itself was mediocre. Bathroom was tiny and there was NO water pressure. I wasn’t able to wash my hair it was that bad! Sheets were dirty and had holes, the fitted sheet was also a flat sheet they laid across the mattress. Wifi was too slow to stream, so had to use phone data. Parking is $30 per day which is well overpriced for the area. Parking across the road (300m walk) is only $14 per day. Location is great, quick 5min walk to the main street. Lots of construction around the area, but didn’t hear it. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

A hotel that has thoughtfully appointed rooms, comfortable common areas and a sense of humour in a great spot to access Canberra.
