Canberra is my home town and many years ago I also worked at the Novotel so I know it very, very well. I also prefer to stay at this hotel whenever i'm in town visiting family. After a much needed refurb a couple years ago the Novotel is looking quite modern and chic. Rooms are spacious, clean though none have... More

We stayed for 4 nights from 31 March to 2 April 2012 as part of a package in an Executive King Room, 2 nights to be paid by ourselves and two nights by a Canberra institution. The booking was arranged and confirmed by others so perhaps I should have double checked the confirmation myself as the hotel seemed to have... More

I stayed one night at this Hotel. The room was average and there was dust on some of the furniture. The Tissue box was empty and limited amount of Tea Coffee though the room was booked for two. They charge for parking but you have to leave car keys at the reception. Car parking spaces are tiny so easy to... More

Apart from the confusing parking system (which is additional), this hotel is very good value. The beds are great and the pool/gym is good too. Nice decor and new. Big hotel and busy lifts. Good location. When we tried to get room service after 11 (this was a Saturday night), no one answered, and then the front desk told us... More

Pleasantly surprised on arrival to be upgraded to a King Room. Very nice and above all clean. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was very good. Not very many hotels still offer the paper to your room and also pleant to choose from at breakfast. More

The bathroom was another story. not that it wasn't clean or anything but it was apparently made for disabled persons which meant no shower... More
