Tall Trees Ainslie Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms, great parking and seamless check-in/check-out process. Will be back here next time I'm in Canberra!"

Crowne Plaza Canberra by IHG

8/10 Good

"we had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, and I'd rate the cleanliness 4/5. The location was convenient within walking distance of plenty of shops and restaurants, making it easy to explore the area. The breakfast buffet was a little disappointing. there weren't many options available, so there's definitely room for improvement. The restaurant, however, was excellent. The menu offered a great selection of dishes, and the desserts and cocktails were great!"

Mantra MacArthur Canberra

8/10 Good

"The hotel is modern, clean, and well-equipped. Breakfast was very good. There's not much within a walking distance of the hotel. Something we hadn't appreciated was that there is no free parking available on site. You can either pay to park or attempt to find street parking nearby. We chose the latter and were fortunate to find a spot within 200m or so. But the hotel didn't seem busy at the time so my guess is parking may be at a premium other times. Overall, a good hotel."

Nesuto Canberra

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Nesuto Canberra while attending the NAIDOC basketball tournament for our son. The staff were absolutely fantastic—so friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything we needed. Their genuine care and positive attitude made us feel right at home. The hotel was comfortable, clean, and in a great location, making our busy tournament weekend so much easier. A big thank you to the entire team for your outstanding hospitality. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend Hotel Nesuto Canberra to anyone visiting the area!"
