because there were no coffee making facilities in the room, I did not agree with having to use and pay for a coffee from a machine when I came in at 9.30pm at night. Coffee was offered as complimentary from 3.00pm to 9.00pm only. I also think that coffee should be available in the morning without having to pay for... More

Initially I was shocked at the size of the room, and we have stayed in many hotel rooms, in fact have just left Ibis Rotorua, and the YWCA Sydney, but after 4 nights we had adjusted and really enjoyed our stay. My wife and I both found the bed was excellent, location fine, service fantastic. The hotel had everything we... More

Arrived at 2200hrs tried to access the auto dispenser with my name & credit card details which had been booked a few days before. I had to contact the manager as it did not recognise me (it had the incorrect spelling of my name from the booking??). Other than that hiccup it was as my rating states & I would... More

We made a last- minute decision to stay at this hotel at 11pm. The self check-in kiosk made that easy. With two very young children sleeping in the car we proceeded to our room and were dismayed to find that the upper bunk bed was unmade. Linens were provided but we had to make up the bed on the spot.... More

It isn't anything special, but the rooms are clean, the beds comfortable and it was quiet. Better choice than staying at most of the motels in Canberra if you're just after a comfy bed. Price is reasonable. If you're looking for a romantic stay or are staying more than 1 nice this isn't the place.

best value with short distance to Canberra CBD costed only $99.00 a reasonable rate but could be more happy if I could have discount or special rate as royalty regularly customer staying every 6 weeks.

My son and I travelled to Canberra to experience an exciting Zoo adventure tour. Stayed overnite so we could experience The War Memorial's Open Day, National Museum, National Library and more. The hotel was close to Dickson with many restaurants of all cuisines. Very Quiet. Room was fully refurbished. Was spotlessly clean. Flat screen TV. Very friendly receptionist who was... More

For the price and knowing it was formerly Formule 1, the room size exceeded my expectations. While the shower/toilet area was tiny, it is identical to a lot I've experienced staying in Japan. The quality of sleep was only affected by the alarm going off next door for an hour in the early morning. There was no way to contact... More

You know what you're getting, so there are no illusions to fancy facilities and added frills. Small but great value rooms for overnight stays when all you need is a clean comfy bed in a convenient location. Something like a ship's cabin with a plane toilet, but If you have to be in Canberra, and the galleries, museums, parks and... More

Easily accessible, very clean, efficient staff and great value for money. My sisters travelled with me on our bi annual pilgrimage to Canberra for the exhibition at the National Gallery. We found the accomodation to be great value for money and exceeded our expectations for the money spent. We were extremely satisfied.
