Canberra Hotels with Bars

Hotel Realm in Canberra was extremely comfortable and had great amenities. The rooms felt modern, stylish, and recently renovated, with everything done to a high standard. The whole hotel has a really nice, polished feel and makes for a very relaxing stay. Honestly, it’s probably one of the best hotels in Canberra — highly recommend.

Haha, this hotel definitely requires a bit of an adventurous spirit to stay at! It was built in 1926, so it's celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. In the lobby restaurant, there's a very old manual plug-in switchboard. The hotel's past life probably wasn't as a hotel; it gives off more of a government archives vibe 😂. The room facilities are a bit dated, especially the carpet, but there's a certain echo of the 1950s. The bathroom is quite small, and the shower area, in particular, seems like it would be a squeeze for anyone a bit larger. Canberra gets really cold, so it was a thoughtful touch that the hotel provided extra blankets. Overall, I think you need to have a bit of a nostalgic appreciation to truly enjoy this kind of hotel. The service, however, was quite good.

clean room and comfy bed. there are only 2 floors and our room is next to a round about and noise during the day could be quite loud. the hotel decor is not so modern with a bath tub and only a shower screen covering half of it so after showers the bathroom floor is completely wet. breakfast was great and staff at the restaurant were patient and attentive to the needs of customers. hotel staff were helpful and service was good overall except that when we checked out the front desk lady was first reluctant to get staff to check my room but told me if anything is missing from the minibar it will be charged to our card and that we have signed an agreement. of course if we have consumed anything we are happy to pay but we would like the room checked when we are still in the hotel premises rather than being told a day later a dozen drinks have gone missing. I wonder why she did not understand my request. she wasn't rude but what she said could be offensive to some people.

Fast becoming a a an outdated hotel. Superior king rooms are small. Do yourself a favpur and Book the 1bd apartment as it has more space.  Location is pretty good. A short walk to the centre and shops.  Reception staff nice enough. Very robotic. Unfortunately we had a few problems when we checked in that eventually got resolved but only because we kept on reminding staff to do something about it. This left us with a negative impression overall.  We won’t stay here again. There’s better hotels around

The room was very clean, and the kitchenette was super convenient, even coming with disposable dish soap and utensils. The bedding was soft, comfortable, and clean—my sensitive skin didn't itch at all. The air conditioning was powerful, and the bathroom was spacious. My only minor complaint is that I couldn't find a hairdryer. Also, there's only one person at the front desk, so they can get overwhelmed at times, leading to slower responses.

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.

Very clean, chic hotel with a popular restaurant and bar. It is conveniently located on Northbourne Avenue , Elouera St and Mort Street which is directly the line of Canberra's night clubs if you are coming on a weekend. There's only two sets of lifts for Hotel Clients which isn't a problem for an Asian ( moi) who is used to very crowded areas. But this can be a bit inconvenient for locals who are used to express service. Pool, gym, sauna. Major plus points. And the best part of all is the free bar fridge in the room. (Not sure if it was a promotion but my friend and I could drink all of what was offered for free!) We didnt because we are massive alcohol fans. The only major downside is the 25 dollar parking fee. No, no no. You can raise the price a bit higher for the quality of rooms but it's a bit offputting to have that as an additional fee. Overall, a pretty great experience from service to aminities.

The hotel is located to the north west of the city centre. Though it is a bit far from the city it is quite convenient, there’s a supermarket (woolies) nearby. Parking is difficult but they provide parking for extra fee per night with unlimited in and out. The hotel is clean, quiet, comfortable and sufficient for our travel purpose to attend an event nearby. I like the double beds (two separate beds) option but this type of room only comes with a disable-friendly bathroom. I wish their double beds are bigger in size and they have a regular bathroom option with a bathtub.

Stayed at Forrest Hotel and Apartments for a work trip and it was a really solid choice. The location was convenient and close to everything I needed, which made getting around Canberra easy. The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet enough to relax after long work days. Staff were friendly and check-in was straightforward. The apartments have everything you need for a longer stay, especially if you want a bit more space than a standard hotel room. Wi-Fi was reliable, parking was easy, and the overall atmosphere was pretty relaxed. Good value and comfortable for a business stay. Would definitely stay again for work trips.

The room was generally clean however there were suspicious stains on the couch & steps that lead to the bed. The main king bed was freshly made however there was also a single bed made up in the room also that appeared to have been slept in. Didnt affect our stay though & overall we were quite happy.
