Ok Canberra is not the warmest place in Australia and have had a bad experience in the past staying in a freezing hotel but was very happy when we stayed here on a sub zero degree night and we were so cosy and toasty warm. The room was really well heated and the beds had big cosy fluffy white doonas.... More

When you first enter the room, you wonder if the place had been modified since it was originally built all those years ago, as it looks old & tired. However, that is as low as it gets. The size of the room is what hits you next. We were able to set up a cot and still have plenty of... More

I have read a few reviews about the Motor Inn before writing my own and I have to say that I found much of what was said true. Good and bad. However, I rate this motel as very good because it exeeded my personal expectations and I have travelled on a budget for a while. It beats every single hostel... More

Currently staying at the Canberra Lyneham Motor Inn while in Canberra for work. Very impressed with the accommodation for the price. The location is fantastic close to the city centre and universities and a short walk to Dickson and Canberra's best restaurants. Quiet and leafy area. The rooms are large and spacious and spotlessly clean. Beds are new and comfortable.... More

Stayed at the motel for two weeks while relocating to Canberra. Found it to be very comfortable and it was a relaxing place to come back to after hard days of house hunting and dealing with infuriating real estate agents. The room was really spacious which made staying for an extended period more comfortable and there is a number of... More

I stayed here over Chrissy and found the rooms to be large and adequate. Parked outside my door which helped when carting presents in and out. The hotel is older but very good value for money. Reception were helpful. Location was close to city and located next to parks which was great for the kids to blow off steam.

When we first walked in it didn't seem too bad, the room was quite large and it had adequate facilities. However, we were met with a skid mark in the toilet and crumbs all over the carpet in the main room. Then I took a shower and the cold tap broke into pieces and fell off so it couldn't be... More

This motel is just off Northbourne avenue close to the city centre. Very clean room, very comfortable and very reasonable price. The lady in the office was lovely and showed us how to get to all the sights and walk to the restaurants. We only found this motel after we made a wrong turn but so glad we did it... More
