I needed accommodation as I came to run the half marathon, it was double the price, and for what I paid, I definitely expected more. The rooms were spacious but could do with a revamp. They had no safes, the amenities offered were from back in the 90’s and the facilities could do with a bit of an update . Service was pleasant. Not sure if I would book there again though.

Nothing good at Rydges Canberra. Entering the hotel, there was a strong smell of perfume, I think it came from the carpet. Wash it, instead of pouring litres of deodorant on top of it! Clean it properly. The morning after I woke up with a headache due to that smell. Absurd! At check-in we had to wait more than 20 minutes because the room wasn't ready yet. Not a good start! Old premises and dirty room, bathroom with mould in the shower wall tiles. Bed was comfy enough and clean. Kettle and small fridge were full of dust. Bar service: awful. Although we had breakfast included in our promotion, we decided to get something from the bar. It took them more than 10 minutes to bring us 1 long black coffee and 1 cappuccino. If you call that dirty black water coffee, you don't know what coffee really is. The only positive thing was the free undercover and secured parking. Well, free... It surely was included in the total price. Sorry but we won't be coming back anytime soon.
