Canberra Hotels with Bars

Canberra is a verdant landscaped city. While public transport is somewhat limited its small size and excellent walking pathways offer 5-10 minute walks to reach most major amenities or local shops and services. Hotel Realm is in the very central Barton district and a healthy walk to most major sites and museums, galleries and houses of parliament. Overall a good choice for both business and tourists.

there were no blankets in the room for the second bed.. 310 the data in the room was aweful... I tried to hook up casting to the tv... it would not work.. the tv is interesting.. the sound is 8 seconds behind the picture on the tv... Hot shower is awesome.... wow.. I mean really awesome... the towels were not changed in the morning and the towels were wet when we got home late at night. The milk in the fridge was not replaced for coffee on the second day. resturant was nigce. bar was homely and had a good feel about it.

The location is perfect and near the city center. There are plenty of free parking spaces around the hotel area. The room was clean and bed was comfortable. Will definitely come back and recommend this hotel.😊

Coming back to my previous review about the Kurrajong and the discrepancy of being double charged for rooms that had already been paid for: I received an Email yesterday evening with the invoice from the Kurrajong but without any notification of a rectification in the invoice. I have emailed them back including the bank statement where explicitly shows that both rooms were paid for for two days of our stay through CC payment online to Trip.com  This issue is most disturbing and disappointing, if it doesn’t get resolved soon it will be the last time we will ever stay at the Kurrajong or use Trip.com again and we will make sure the word gets around! 😠 The extra third night was paid at the hotel by CC. It is more than evident by the invoice and the payment through Trip.com that the Kurrajong over charged us.

Although the room facilities are a bit old, they are very clean. The location is excellent, only a 3-minute walk from the city center and 3 minutes from ANU dorms. The bus stop is right downstairs. The Asian handsome guy at the front desk provided excellent service and even allowed me to check in early. I'm so sorry I didn't catch his name; I checked in around 10 AM on September 2nd. Many thanks to him! I will definitely stay at Novotel again next time I'm in Canberra.

The service is below average. We stayed for three nights, only requested room service after the second night, but our bed sheets didn’t get changed, vanity consumables, such as shower cap, cotton tips were ran out but no topup. Had to call reception to get them delivered. The smoke alarm went off in the third night at 3am, never had such bad experience. Only good thing is its location.

Good hotel with decent amenities and an excellent location, but the staff experience was extremely disappointing. We were travelling with a young child and requested a late checkout. They informed us it would be $30 to extend beyond 10 AM, so we agreed. We checked out at 11:45 AM, only to find they had charged $60, which felt unreasonable and misleading. On top of that, housekeeping knocked 3-4 times, and their behaviour was shockingly rude. One staff member even said, “You have 2 minutes, just get out in 2 minutes,” which was completely unprofessional. I’ve stayed in many hotels and have never encountered staff speaking or behaving like this. 0/5 for staff behaviour. If you care about service, I strongly recommend choosing a more reputable hotel. If you’re on a tight budget and only want to stay near Parliament and don’t mind compromising on service, then this place might work - but be prepared for poor staff interactions.

What an amazing stay. Everything was spotless, comfortable and a lot of thought put into what we would need as travellers. Food was amazing for both breakfast and dinner. Best meals I’ve had in a long time. The issue we had was difficulty with check in. There is not a ‘person’ there to help with anything. We will definitely be back again!

This hotel is super convenient! A shopping center called Maunka Terrace is just a 3-minute drive away, and it has Coles, Subway, and McDonald's. There were also Japanese, Italian, pub food, and other Asian restaurants in that area. Parking usually costs $25 per night for guests, but thanks to a Trip.com perk, I only paid $10 a night, which was great! You can't reserve parking, but there was plenty of space, so I had no issues. The breakfast menu was pretty much the same every day, which was a bit disappointing, but there was still a good variety and plenty of food.

The staff were friendly and helpful. Clean room, comfortable bed, wifi, aircon and as a bonus they have a buffet breakfast. Great location with on-site parking included and the German pub right next door for dinner within walking distance
