Hotels near De Big Island in Canberra

My kids (young teenagers) and I stayed here for two nights over the school holidays. The one bedroom aprtment was very clean and well presented. We paid the surcharge for a third person and unfortunately, a third person was not catered for. We had to request beddinng and then (too late/after Reception had closed), realised we did not have athird towel. No spare bedding was provided in the room. The fold out couch was super lumpy and prety unbearable, luckily my youngest is small and could sleep on the couch itself. Otherwise - it was very warm (so good on two very, very cold nights). It is right over a bus terminal, so would have been slightly loud if you were opening the doors/using the balcony. Close to shops, cafes etc which was convenient. Free parking underneath. Overall, pretty good. I just felt a bit annoyed about being charged $55 extra for a third person and then not actually receiving anything at all for that charge.

This is hotel is great for business travelers, as location is within alot of offices and government offices. Very nearby (walking distance) has a westfield which has coles and woolworths. Within hotel has no parking but infront of building has a huge open council parking, payable from Monday- friday ( free on weekends). Negative - dont expect room cleaning over weekend, cleaners are very inexperienced, didnt change my sheets or wash my dishes until i asked them to. Front desk service is also very limited.

The staff were wonderful, especially Sulab who was very attentive and welcoming. I decided last minute to stay at the Garden City hotel and was very glad with my decision. I had a hot breakfast which was absolutely delicious and found the breakfast restaurant to be very cosy and the staff also very helpful. I will gladly stay again with my next visit to Canberra.

Overall not value for money in my view at $180 per night thru Statesman site. Do look for cheaper rates. Location is very convenient. Not sure what part of the rooms were renovated. Freshish paint? but long brown stain on the bedroom wall, and bubbles on ceiling paint of bathroom. Had to sanitised bathroom door handles, etc. on arrival given hand basin is in bedroom area not bathroom/toilet area. Don't expect a hair drier, shower cap, cotton buds etc. Shower area had 'pink' and brown mold in grout and black bits in corners. Bottom of shower door was moldy/dirty, with mold on door seal. Shower was not cleaned throughout the stay. Room was not vacuumed , white threads etc. still by bed. During the 7 night stay, the room was not serviced except for towel, toilet paper replacement. Ben top sheet was changed once and bed made only once. I saw nothing to advise of this on booking. There was no info on this in the room either that I could see. No 'do not disturb' sign available according to staff, nor lock on the door or chain, so had to make a call on the mornings I was working in room. Will stay in Woden area next time.

The location is on the main road and the highway is convenient. The hotel is right next to the golf course, green and very quiet. Hotel facilities are complete, health and safety. This special E-MAIL allowed the hotel to arrange the same room at the last check-in. Although the hotel replied that it could not be guaranteed, it was reserved, thank you very much! Go and choose.

Hotel is good, when we went, it was just the New Year holiday, I felt that the staff was not enough, the breakfast was a bit confusing, the breakfast buffet was good, there was a free parking space but there were only a limited number, and I could only stop at the hotel’s paid garage. In it, a dozen or so Australian dollars a night, or parked on the side of the road not far away.

The hotel was ok but booking from Trip service was terrible. This is the first time I booked a hotel from the Trip and they ripped me off. They overcharge me. their app showed the price one and when I I made booking they charged me extra. I was completely socked. I contacted to trip but hey were hopeless. We live in Australia but they charged me us dollar which they did not mention. I

Choose because of location. Disapointing restaurant cloosed but staff were amazing. Sarah and Pauk both helpful in resolving issue with our booking as bokked through online and wrong dates was fixed and upgraded

Overall, the service is very good. Every staff greets you with a smile, answers questions patiently, and is very satisfied with the room and breakfast. The only downside is that the swimming pool is a bit small, in another building outside the hotel. Due to hygiene issues, the swimming pool is closed on the afternoon of the check-in day.
