Hotels with Entertainment in South Canberra, Canberra

"A top notch experience for our four night stay in a one bedroom apt at East Hotel in Canberra. Underground parking was a key consideration for our stay and it worked well ($20 a night). Very pleasant and helpful staff and a great restaurant (Italian) downstairs where we had both breakfast and dinner a couple of times. Fast wifi. Amazing hot water (the hottest I think we have ever come across, anywhere!). Firm king sized bed with comfortable mattress topper was great. Aircon was effective (its starting to get cold in Canberra in May!). Excellent soundproofing (we were on the 5th floor, directly opposite the "Kingo" hotel (world famous in Canberra). A couple of very minor (1st world) issues. The lighting in the apt was not great for makeup (so my wife told me), though there are plenty of mirrors. There was plenty of clothes storage space (including hanging), though the fact that some of this storage was in the bathroom was a little odd. Kitchen was very well appointed, with a full range of pots and pans (better than almost anywhere else we have stayed in our extensive travels). In apt laundry facilities were top notch (though we didn't use them), with separate washer and dryer. The provision of free and very tasty jellybeans and chocolate sprinkles near reception was a nice touch as well. Overall we couldn't fault the service and amenities for our stay at East Hotel."

"No Restaurant available. No gym available. No laundry room available. No housekeeping without payment. Free wifi only works for 24hours. Air conditioning restricted so cannot be controlled. No Bar. No room service. Got charged for breakfast despite booking and paying already. The advertised amenities are not available. 2 other guests started shouting at me and stole food off my plate at breakfast. And the breakfast was disgusting - bacon all fat, sausages pale and all skin, even the hash browns are rubbery. Sauces were over sweet and rubbery too. Why were there green beans in the baked beans? Barely a place to sit, and mess and old plates everywhere. Think there was only 3 people - 2 chefs and 1 FOH. Chef had to keep coming out to deliver food, whilst FOH accused everyone of not paying for breakfasts. Pool is dirty, UNHEATED, and in shade all the time. Room was dirty and old. There was no duvet cover, and the duvet was yellow and dirty. Hotel overall dirty and uncared for. Amenities they advertised were not available - straight up false advertising. Avoid this place. Expedia attempted to contact them for a refund but haven't been able to get in touch. Sums it up."

"Comfortable basic motel in Forrest. Clean, comfortable bed, well located just 10 minutes walk to Manuka and restaurants. Supplied some crockery and cutlery which was useful."

"The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. The bathroom was small but adequate and the water pressure for the shower was great. The cupboard doors were slightly chipped. A refresh would improve the room. "

"Clean and great service buffet breakfast good enough"

"The place is elegant and beautiful. The rooms are comfortable and the amenities were very good. The staff was also very kind. The buffet breakfast was wonderful, although we could use warm plates in the cold season. The side bed tables also were dusty"

"Great location, very friendly professional staff, fabulous lounge area for drinks with games like chess placed around the area. Breakfast is delicious and very good value. The rooms are huge, bed comfy, nice decor. Great stay … highly recommended. "

"Lovely historic hotel with a welcoming foyer and open fire. Friendly staff at check-in and parking was available, though the car park was almost full. Our rooms were well-appointed and the bed was comfortable. A range of tea was provided as well as a pod coffee machine and mini bar. The hotel was a short drive to some great restaurants, Pomegranate and Minima. I would stay there again."

"Had to park in the “strictly no hotel guests” car park as there wasn’t enough spots in the allocated section. Had to walk over the road to an adjacent hotel for the breakfast every morning. Bedroom was very small, a bit Japanese-esk but Apart from that the bed was the most comfiest I have ever slept on. "
