My husband and I took a leisurely drive down to Canberra and were looking for a place to spend the night. We didn't plan to stay the night, it just happened. We called around to numerous hotels and all were booked out. We learned after, this was due to Rememberance Day being the next day. Luckily, Hotel Kurrajong had one... more

Honestly this place is baffling, the staff are useless and will make your stay a horror, it looks nice but really the lying and ineptitude from the staff ruin any good that you find. My girlfriend and I booked a month in advance for this hotel for 2 nights (Saturday/Sunday) through wotif.com and had all our reservations confirmed properly. When... more

Canberra in winter can be a chilly and frosty place. I am in the minority who enjoy that. We stayed on a Saturday night when occupancy of this historic building was low. The hotel is almost certainly far busier on weekdays when Federal Parliament is sitting: lobbyists and other hangers-on would pack it out. If the walls could talk, they... more

I spent three nights at the Hotel School part of the hotel, which was $77 per night. Being a solo traveller, that is a lot cheaper than staying in a hotel. The room was very basic (two star self rated): single bed, alarm clock, desk, TV, coffe facilities, fridge and internet! I loved having internet access in the room via... more

I stayed at the Kurrajong for one night and thought it was fine. I arrived just after 8pm and although the restaurant was closing, the receptionist offered to keep the kitchen open until I could order. The receptionist also readily assisted when I couldn't connect to the internet in the business centre. Along with an efficient and friendly check-out the... more

My partner and I traveled to Canberra to do some sight seeing and general relaxing. We weren't sure where to stay so we did the usual search online using a well know search engine. Hotel Kurrajong was the first we saw listed on a map, and the listing had some photos which looked good, so we decided to stay there.... more

This is an awful hotel with absolutely no service except for a very average breakfast (at $25!). A four-star should be "Exceptionally well appointed with a high level of facilities: quality furnishings and a high degree of comfort, presentation and guest services provided” Nothing like that at the Kurrajong: this is a four star hotel with no room services. If... more

Do not consider! Despite booking in advance through the hotel's official website, I had my booking canceled at the last minute and the hotel refusing to find alternative accommodation. I had email confirmation and a deposit taken from my credit card that they claimed as a reservation guarantee. This meant nothing. When I tried to contact the hotel to find... more

This is an older style hotel with a relaxed atmosphere and plenty of public spaces in reception, bar, restaurant. The room had been cleverly refurbished with excellent bed, good carpet, and a good bathroom. We paid A$170, included hot breakfast. more
