Room was huge, definitely not cramped. Everything you needed and a nice old hotel to walk through. Bed was clean and comfy. Staff were quick and happy to help. Easy and ample parking both in and around the hotel.

Room was perfectly fine but starting to show its age with paint peeling and wear and tear. Tv had no connection ability and the place was a bit of a maze, especially being in the back half of the hotel. Surrounding streets were interesting to walk home from the city after dinner. Lots of public housing in between the hotel and the city.

The bistro and bar attached, is fantastic, good food, good prices. Great to be able to go back to the motel after a busy day, have a meal and a drink and relax back at the room. Good location. I would stay here again.

No room in fridge to put our own drinks due to mini bar taking most of the space. Breakfast buffet was quite expensive, so didn't utilize this. Would prefer to be able to make a personalized order, shouldn't need to spend $31 each for breakfast each morning. Bed a little hard for my liking. Need to carry bags up steps to enter the motel.

Interesting rambling historic hotel, a bit different to the usual high rise boxes. Internal courtyard with a fountain and shade trees has a great feel on a hot day. Location good for driving in the wider Canberra area, with an adequate outdoor but secure fenced carpark. Close enough to the CBD to walk if you're spritely and inclined, and don't want to be fleeced by Canberra parking charges; or you want to have a couple of drinks in town. Buffet breakfast was standard fare but plentiful and good. Good restaurant and bar. Reception staff were friendly and efficient.

Looks like a couple of things keeled over during Covid and weren't reinstated.

The room and character of the place was fantastic. The staff were very nice and helpful.

The breakfast was a big disappointment. You are better off going into town and getting breakfast. They had a conference on at the time and the coffee machine was taken from the dining area into the conference room1 hour before breakfast finished. So don't be late or no caffeine for you :-) It was great to have a pancake machine. If it worked. Compare this Mecure Breakfast to other Mecure breakfast in other capital cities, the value for breakfast was very poor.

We loved being in a quiet room at the back, looking into a garden area so it felt like home. We had a large room with ample space for our suitcases which can often be a problem.

The tea cups were much too small - Mugs would be better. There was only 1 saucer for 2 cups which was awkward. Water from the shower recess came out across the floor so we had to put towels down to avoid a flood. The storage cupboard for the kettle and cups etc is very dark inside. I would suggest it be painted inside or lined with contact paper. Even with the lights on it was difficult to see what was available.

The Hotel is a short drive to the centre of Canberra - shopping centre, War Memorial, Parliament House, museums and art gallery are all easily accessible by car. We didn't use public transport. Plenty of secure parking at the back of the Hotel and hotel room easily accessible. Staff at reception and dining room were all genuinely friendly and helpful in assisting us with our requests. We enjoyed the varied buffet selection of food for breakfast, all prepared and presented to a high standard - staff did very well catering for the large number of guests on Anzac Day and prepared a take away breakfast for our early departure. Our room was spacious, clean and quiet and we appreciated having a mid sized fridge, microwave and some kitchen utensils for preparing a few meals ourselves. Heating is comfortable in the room on a cold evening. The Hotel garden is well looked after and we appreciated the beautiful view from our room. Built in 1927 we enjoyed how the Hotel is full of history and well maintained with interesting photos and books - I loved the creaky old timber floors and architecture.

We had to be careful climbing the steep, winding steps to our bedroom upstairs as the carpet can be slippery. However there are ground level rooms available.

Claudia was so helpful checking us in and really made us feel welcome. Got a free upgrade to an Executive Suite with Courtyard View which was lovely. Bed was huge and very comfy. Excellent location and very quiet at night.

Breakfast was freezing cold and the plates that you put the hot food on were also freezing. Was really disappointing if I'm honest. The fish tanks, which I love, could do with a little clean to allow you to see the beautiful huge koi fish.

The lady at reception rang me about check in time as it was after 6pm. When I arrived I wanted ground floor room and she changed room without any hesitation. Great secure parking at back of hotel. Breakfast delivered at 10am to room. I got to sleep in. Bed soo comfy and room huge with balcony. I've stayed there many times and great value for money.

I got to room and balcony door wide open. It was a bit scary 😨. Rang reception and she changed room straight away and logged maintenance request for faulty door.

The staff are the Mercure's best asset. Friendly, professional and always ready to help. Bill from the breakfast area, and the young lady with the wrist support and frizzy hair from reception deserve a special mention. Attentive, nothing was too much trouble, professional and always friendly and polite.

The limited selection of hot breakfast items. I understand the need for it. But this is my 2nd stay. The 1st for 4 nights and this return stay for 2 nights. It just felt like repetitive and boring.

This property is a fine example of Olde Canberra architecture that has been well-maintained and updated over the years. The king room was spacious and had a lovely little patio that fronted the building courtyard. This was very pleasant in the morning sun. The breakfast was good and offered in a bright room looking out on the courtyard. Canberra is great for cycling and the bike storage facilities were welcome.
