LIKES: - Bathroom appeared to be refurbished as it looked much newer than bedroom itself. - Continental breakfast was a huge spread. A few hot dishes, including eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, potatoes, bacon, etc. - Room size was fairly large. DISLIKES: - Bedroom furnishings, carpetting, upholstery etc were very, very old. I think my room was one of the cheaper ones,... more

We chose ANU University house based on price and location--we were traveling via bus and renting a car downtown. The campus was a 15-minute walk from any stores or restaurants. Bus runs nearby, but we did not try it. The campus is very quiet in summer so I don't think we needed to request the 3rd floor room--three flights of... more

This is an excellent choice for a stay in Canberra. The rooms were clean, tidy (and huge!) with a balcony, and the hotel was located around a beautiful garden. It takes you app. 10-15 min to walk to the centre, so the only reason not to stay here would be the location, if you're interested in a very central place. more

We wanted a hotel in the center of Canberra, and University House provided this in an affordable way. The room was basic, and the other aspects of the hotel were what we expected from a on-campus hotel. more

We were not fortunate enough to be in what is described in other reviews as the 'better rooms'. We were not given the room we specified in the booking and found to our dismay that our room was not... more

I have stayed here before and always like it, but am writing this extra review to provide a few tips to make staying here even more enjoyable. First, ask for a suite on a high floor in the north wing. The suites in this wing have a much bigger balcony and nicer view than the others. Secondly, bring some insect... more

This is a great place to stay. We stayed in a queen suite and had a lovely view of the quadrangle. It is a very peaceful setting, the rooms are spacious and we were lucky to have a large balcony. It is nothing fancy - the rooms are dated but this just adds to the charm. The bed is comfortable,... more

We had a 4night stay in a suite consisting of double bedroom overlooking the leafy Quadrangle and a lounge with balcony with views of the playing fields and hills. It is a peaceful location with lovely gardens. Breakfast daily (included in an internet tariff) was a full hot buffet taken in Boffins Restaurant. There is a second licensed cafe for... more

I stayed at Uni House for one night, and as a base for seeing the city, it was okay. The rooms were spartan, but that's what you expect for only $60 a night! It was nice to have the library and free Internet access just down the hall, and wireless was only $5 a day. It was a bit of... more
