Hotels with Bars in Canberra

Canberra is a verdant landscaped city. While public transport is somewhat limited its small size and excellent walking pathways offer 5-10 minute walks to reach most major amenities or local shops and services. Hotel Realm is in the very central Barton district and a healthy walk to most major sites and museums, galleries and houses of parliament. Overall a good choice for both business and tourists.

We stayed for the Canberra Marathon Festival. The location was close to the main event area, and there is a cafe and a foodstore close by. The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are comfortable. The area is quiet but there are a few restaurant's and bars along the lake about a 10-minute walk away. Uber's were always only a minute away. We had a great time seeing the sights, a lot of them are within walking distance from the hotel.

Excellent location - bus stop right outside the hotel made getting around very convenient, short walking distance to shops. Room itself was spacious, and bed was comfortable which made for a pleasant overall stay. Basic amenities such as toothbrushes, shower cap and slippers etc were not provided in room. The mini bar also didnt have prices listed, so no clue what items would cost. The main lighting in the room and bathroom was bright and quite harsh for me, no option to adjust to a softer tone. And the bathroom fan was quite loud and didnt appear to have an option to turn it off, which could be disruptive. Also, reception is not available 24hrs and at times it was difficult to get in touch with staff for assistance. Overall a decent stay, an excellent location.

An excellent hotel! It's not far from the city center, offers free parking, and the rooms are spacious with fresh, vibrant decor. The breakfast was the absolute highlight – it's à la carte, portions are huge, and absolutely delicious. You can skip lunch after that!

The room was spacious and bed big and comfortable. The view was right to the pool area. The pool was heated nice and warm, big gym with great selection of equipment . The breakfast was good, but the coffee included was nothing special no barista coffee.

The hotel boasts an incredibly convenient location. You can find almost everything you need within a 5-minute walk, from supermarkets to restaurants and bars. Parking is also hassle-free, with plenty of spaces available in the underground car park. The rates are very affordable, offering excellent value for money. This is genuinely an outstanding choice, especially for families visiting Canberra with children. While the room facilities aren't the newest, they are spotlessly clean, and the beds are wonderfully comfortable.

Stayed at Forrest Hotel and Apartments for a work trip and it was a really solid choice. The location was convenient and close to everything I needed, which made getting around Canberra easy. The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet enough to relax after long work days. Staff were friendly and check-in was straightforward. The apartments have everything you need for a longer stay, especially if you want a bit more space than a standard hotel room. Wi-Fi was reliable, parking was easy, and the overall atmosphere was pretty relaxed. Good value and comfortable for a business stay. Would definitely stay again for work trips.

The location is super convenient, right in the city center with the bus station next door. There are no cooking facilities in the room, but they have a restaurant with a breakfast buffet and à la carte dinner. Public amenities include a pool and a sauna (though it was closed when I tried to use it in the evening). The service was friendly and helpful with any issues. Overall, it was great! 😍

We can hear people next door talking as we were arranged to stay at a connecting room. The door crack is so wide that we can hear people next door talking which gives a sense of insecurity. It is suggested that the door crack should be fixed, for the privacy of people staying at the two rooms who do not know each other.

This is the second time I've stayed at Ibis Styles & and unfortunately, my first impression was confirmed. The reception thoughtfully offered me an upgrade from a deluxe queen room to a deluxe king room. To be blunt, I'm not sure where the 'deluxe' came into it. And I was glad not to have booked a standard room. The room was basic beyond description, apart from a king bed. No bedside lamp, opened milk in the fridge, doors hanging off their hinges, bathroom still had hair on the floor, not even a tea spoon. Such a shame as the location is great.
