It’s Difficult for Canberra to compete with QT Sydney the buildings are poles apart. Staff are just as pleasing. Overall Sydney wins hands down. But QT is our first choice for Canberra. All round another good experience. Roadwork around the hotel was annoying.

Parking is $30. Staff are very helpful. Amazing foyer. Yummy breakfast. Great last minute room deal. The room was very nice. It very hot outside and the air con was working overtime, and having trouble cooling the room so I am sure some guests would have found the room too warm. The shower had some mould in the tiles but otherwise was a great bathroom. Great location.

Great value and lovely staff and service. Early checkin and late check-out provided with a smile. Unfortunately there is the earthworks beside the hotel for the light rail. However Canberra is small enough to walk without the works being a problem. There hotel was soundproof.

Lobby, bar & restaurant well presented however rooms very dated and not worth the $450-$500 per night rate card paid. Rooms in need for a desperate renovation. Well off being anywhere near comparative to other QT properties.
