We ended up in Formule 1 Canberra recently on a very busy night. We has the last room available, right by the front door. We were kept awake all night by the smokers going in and out. I don't think much of paying $104 for the plastic box they called a room. It was only slightly better than sleeping in... More

Looked for affordable accommodation in Canberra and chose the Formule 1. While basic was clean with a comfortable bed, tv and ensuite. The $9 breakfast was filling and complimentary tea and coffee in late afternoon /evening welcome. Enjoyed the stay and will use again. More

We stayed for two nights at the beginning of April 2012. We found the place ok as it's on a major road but finding the entrance driveway was tricky due to major building works in the vicinity and temporary fencing surrounding the motel. We got there at our designated arrival time and our room wasn't ready. My friend uses a... More

Although the room is not big enough to spend any time in, it is great if you're on a budget and looking for a clean and comfy room to sleep in. The bed was very comfortable, everything was clean and they're well designed to accommodate 2 in the minimum space. The shared fridge in the hallway and boiling water available... More

I didn't have very high expectations, however for the price I expected a little more. It may have been the cheapest option but it was not significantly less than the other hotels the weekend that we stayed. We should've payed the $15 more to stay elsewhere. The bed is on wheels and you find that you wake up in a... More

This place is one of the cheapest to stay in Canberra. The rooms are clean and the staff are nice. Yes it is about 10 mins drive to the centre of town, but let's face it most tourists who visit Canberra have a car so it is not too much trouble. The room would be ok for 2 people, however... More
