"This is honestly the best place in Australia to stay. Let alone Canberra. The attention to detail from the staff is incredible. The space is huge, with most of the suites very quiet and with terrific views. It’s so convenient town and just an easy walk to a whole lot of restaurants. The tram is just out the front. Honestly, I just can’t recommend it enough."

"the Canberra QT is a lovely place to stay. At the moment it has lots of construction happening all around it which makes it a bit inconvenient but the staff well and truly make up for this with their impeccable service. We had an issue with the air conditioning not working in our room and very easily we where moved to a different room with no concerns. Great stay."

"The room was equipped with everything we needed (although, had to ask for a 2nd wine glass as there was only one), it was quiet, with a very comfortable bed, lovely clean bathroom & a wonderful Sri Lankan restaurant just across the road If there was parking on site I would have given it 5 stars - however, we found a park on the street a block away."

"This was a four night solo trip to assist a Motorsport event in the area. From the apartment, it was a simple job to drive to locations on either side of the city, and the light rail stop was very close too to ride into the CBD. The room was kept exceptionally clean. The room was showing its age and wear, with the wardrobe doors sticking, and noise intrusion from doors slamming in the corridor and upstairs. Still, for the price asked and the secure underground parking (free with my Hotels.com...
