Room - 1403 - was in a bit of a sad state. No bottle opener, ventilation in bathroom was like 737 jet engine - I had to block it with a face washer - sink did not hold water at all, woeful water pressure, shower mixer handle fell off as soon as I touched it. Comfy bed, good pillows, ventilation noise eventually shut down at some point overnight.

after I booked the room online, I rang to see if I could get a room as high as I could. I was informed that I could get a room on the 8th floor. This was 2 weeks prior to check-in. when I arrived I was informed that my room was not available.... The room we had was dated. There was no proper ventilation in the bathroom and there was mold on the walls. the entrance to the bathroom had a slight rise which could catch out the unknowing elderly.

Beware Construction!!!
Beautifully designed hotel with great staff in dire need of some maintenance located on the edge of a major construction project 😳 Would stay again, but only after qualifying the state and location of our room. Friends who had breakfast in the hotel (we didn’t) were disappointed at the lack of fresh fruit etc. Staff we dealt with were all great and changed our room (issues with bathroom drainage and dysfunctional ac) without any fuss.. they are the only reason we’d go back. 😏

Building works outside - diggers going at 12 midnight on a Saturday night!!! They moved our rooms which was appreciated but this hotel is not visible to stay in with the building noise which is likely to be there through to 2025-2026.

We had a very comfortable stay. The beds were good and the view from the room was lovely. The breakfast was good and included in the price. Unfortunately the room was next to the lifts which was noisy at times . Also there was major road works outside the hotel which made it a bit tricky to get in.

I would definitely stay at this hotel again and I will try other QT hotels. I loved the restaurant and bar area, great vibe, classy yet cosy and not pretentious. Lovely food and wine. The check-in was great, friendly, efficient and helpful. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and functional. I really enjoyed using the Dyson hairdryer! We absolutely loved our view from the room! We could see Lake Burley Griffin, Parliament House and Black Tower Mountain. I loved the quirky and funky decor of the hotel. Great value for money!

The only thing to like about this property is the foyer- don't go any further than that. The girl who checked us in was good though I do question a hotel that doesn't ask for photo ID to check in. Our room was dusty behind the bed, toilet and mini-bar the carpet was stained, pet hair on the provided robes and worst of all mould in the bathroom and in the kettle. The bathroom floor was dirty, there was barely enough amenities provided for 2 guests and the shower pressure was abysmal. The exhaust fan was so caked in dust I'm surprised it worked at all- well not until after I had showered and ran all night. The air con vents were dusty and its so old it barely worked. The beds weren't separate despite having 2 guests, the Chromecast didnt work and it was so cold in the room because they doors clearly aren't sealed. Just hope you dont get put near a lift because it is like a jet engine. My allergies were set off so badly that I left with a sinus infection and conjuctivits so we had to find another hotel and checked out first thing. The people on the desk didn't seem tocare even after explaining how sick this room made me- just told "we're sorry you feel that way". No room change or offer to come and look though we were offered breakfast and decided against it. When we checked out, no apology, no care, nothing so clearly they are used to this. DO NOT stay here- find somewhere else. I was sick the entirity of my stay in Canberra because of this dirty place. So much for 4 star hotel

We were utterly disappointed with this hotel. We booked a two night getaway and upon arrival and checking in, the carpet in the room was stained and the bathroom tiles looked to have mould. We immediately went downstairs and the receptionist didn’t show one bit of an apology and gave us another room which wasn’t much better. Rooms are outdated and aircon is extremely old and dusty. Also, do not be fooled by the breakfast. We couldn’t believe how little was included and the portion sizes were not acceptable. We will not be returning as there are plenty of other great hotels in the area for the same price. Save your money

The construction work around the area made it impossible to find the entrance let alone the car park. The view from my room was of a giant hole in the ground with multiple construction workers and equipment. The noise from the construction site was horrendous. If I had known about it prior to booking I would have gone elsewhere.
