FAQs about hotels in Canberra








Culture, Politics and Military Mix

A popular quiz question is: what’s the capital of Australia? If you answered Sydney or Melbourne then it’s time to discover the real answer – Canberra. With Parliament House at its core, Canberra fans out across both sides of Lake Burley Griffin to reveal a diverse mix of museums, restaurants and bars filled with curious tourists, political persons and public servants.

Canberra was created as a solution to Australia’s 2 largest cities squabbling over the right to become the national capital. The Limestone Plains region in New South Wales was chosen as the site for present day Canberra. It was a good choice for nature lovers as it is surrounded by bushland, mountain ranges and, more recently, wineries.

The National Gallery, National Museum and National Library of Australia highlight Canberra’s cultural riches. Other notable institutions to visit are the High Court of Australia and the National Film and Sound Archive that stockpiles a collection of Australia’s early radio, television and film history.

The military also plays a significant role here with many training facilities for the army such as the Australian Defence Force Academy. An unforgettable experience is attending the Anzac Day Dawn service at The Australian War Memorial.

Australia’s cultural capital with a political punch has many hotels, motels and apartments on Booking.com for that city trip, business jaunt or family holiday.

    Canberra is an easy getaway from Sydney.

    Canberra is an easy getaway from Sydney. Found enough to do for a couple of days and a good variety of restaurants and venues. Very relax place to just explore and take a break away with some interesting places to see and visit for different reasons. Also there are plenty of outdoor things to do, did go Mountain biking as the tracks are awesome. Worth a visit, when you can

    Canberra is a wonderful city to visit.

    Canberra is a wonderful city to visit. Heaps to see and do with some fabulous restaurants. Gorgeous in the Autumn, especially on the lake. Take into account there is a lot of construction happening in the city so some attractions like the War Memorial are a bit less than they can be. The extension to the light rail is still under construction but will be fabulous when it's done.

    I would say if a coloured map of Canberra could be available to people, A Map will full details including sites to see eg Resturants, parliament house, mountain drives, tours. I did find a map but the lettering was too small to read and insufficient information. The Name of the Apartments could be clearly shown.

    School holiday trip with the grandsons.

    School holiday trip with the grandsons. They loved the dinosaur museum and miniature village. So many places to visit, we needed more time. The work going on around the War Memorial made it a bit difficult to look around the grounds and parking was limited as it was the week before Anzac Day and many areas closed off. We decided to give it a miss.

    Paying for bus tickets was pain as no cash is taken - drivers are very generous letting us travel free but I dislike not paying my dues . Cash will be useable sometimes during 2024. From City Walk we walked to War Memorial - spent all day there. Poppy Cafe is good. Tickets free but book a slot on time. Slot is 2 hours but if u need more just ask one of the many room guides if they can extend your ticket. Grab a free tour of highlights when u arrive. Takes almost your 2 hours but guide will fix an extension. For seriously interested visitors (like us) they offered to give us all day. Also there is a separate Last Post ceremony every day. Needs separate ticket. Best view point is on 'balcony' overlooking Eternal Flame or in the open air (at balcony level) furthest away from Eternal Flame. It,s all free so buy a 5 AUD guide book or make a donation. As for Parliament visit (both places have airport style security checks) that also is deffo worth time. the Museum of Australia was different and interesting - several good cinema type films to watch. Visitor Centre in Commonwealth Park is a good first stop. Lovely lakeside walks decent cafe and very interesting story of how Canberra was built from scratch. Helpful staff and free leaflets. We could have filled 5 days rather than 3.

    From check in to checkout, the staff were amazing. Service was top notch. The hotel is just a picture. It's in perfect condition and super clean. No strange smells, no worn carpet or furniture. The king room was beautiful and the marble bathroom was fit for royalty. Secure undercover parking was free during our visit. Restaurant was on point as was the food and wine list. Again, staff were very attentive. The bar was cosy with a log fire burning. Highly recommend the Hyatt Canberra.

    We booked two apartments for a family wedding and the staff generously upgraded one of our rooms to be a high rise apartment with a great view, and directly opposite the 2nd large apartment. The rooms were excellent and the staff very friendly and very helpful. Location (near Lonsdale St) and parking were excellent. The below ground parking was generous and easy to access. We will definitely return for a foodie weekend / week and general Canberra holiday. Thank you Pacific Suites !

    Worst hotel experience I have ever had, car number plate got stolen from parking area, had to cancel my remaining trip and drove back to Melbourne without number plate. Staff didn't cooperate to sort out the issue, car park is very dodgy with no proper surveillance. Moreover, the carpet in room was filthy, room had an odd smell and after the first day I asked housekeeping for thorough cleanliness and some air freshener. It wasn't good experience to stay with family.

    The wonderful helpful, thoughtful staff who went out of their way to make this a wonderful stay. Large room overlooking the beautiful gardens. really comfortable beds, a bath, windows that open so we had fresh air and didn’t need the air conditioner. Quiet. access to the Hale well-being centre which is part of the hotel. Great gym. I’ve stayed in many hotels in Canberra and have been coming here for many years. The Brassey has been by far the best and the best value.

    We always choose the Kurrajong when in Canberra, as it's a known quantity for us and location is convenient, being walking distance to the art galleries, Old Parliament House etc. It has a more personal feel than some other larger hotels, and we've found the staff invariably friendly and helpful. There are dedicated electric car destination chargers outside the entrance, and we hope to make use of those next time we visit!

The room was clean and spacious, including a safe in the wardrobe, and the bed was comfortable. A very good breakfast (included in our booking) which made the stay value for money.
