Beautiful property close to the cbd. Great spacious rooms and the balcony in ours was bigger than some of the hotel rooms these days. Would highly recommend and would book again gor future trips.

Novotel Canberra
Clean room, buffet was good. If you are planning on eating the buffet breakfast, I would recommend getting there early as the queues became quite long later on in the morning. Check in and check out process was smooth. Plenty of on site parking.
