This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. Free internet, amazing mattress and the best service I have ever received. The hotel is a good distance away from everything major in Canberra, including Civic and Parliament House. Manuka is just down the road if you want to avoid the expensive hotel food too. Was my first... More

I only stayed at Rydges Capital Hill for a night, but it is definitely a great place that I'd consider returning to. Free internet and WiFi everywhere in the hotel. Free printing facilities. Both of these were a godsend as I needed last minute printing late at night before an early morning meeting the following day. Nowhere I've stayed has... More

This hotel was in a great location for accommodation whilst attending a family wedding at Old Parliament House. We stayed in a suite on the third floor with views of new Parliament House whilst other family members stayed in deluxe rooms which had no outside view but windows facing the atrium. The suite was very clean and spacious with separate... More

We stayed for 5 nights as my partner was attending a science fiction convention being held at the hotel. The rooms have recently been refurbished and were comfortable and clean. They were large and contained a sofa and coffee table, as well as a work desk and chair. The bathrooms could possible do with some updating in the future. The... More

Capital Hill Rydges is well located with a welcoming foyer. The surroundings are green and pleasant.The restaurants are good with happy staff to serve. The room I stayed were clean but but dated. The toilets were clean but had old fittings and repeated marks of maintenance were visible.

TripAdvisor's rating system baffles me - 3/5 is average, but 4/5 is very good? I'd like to give this hotel 3.5 out of five green dots, please. I enjoyed my stay, and things were generally good, but a couple of minor things marred the experience. As other people have pointed out, the hotel is clean and comfortable, but could use... More

Booked a superior twin room for a one night for our weekend in Canberra ... we had a voucher which included undercover parking and breakfast for two adults and reduced the tariff substantially. The room, while spacious with two double beds, was narrower that the one pictured on the hotel's website, though was (just) large enough to fit our infant's... More

We had a King Spa room, which from the online photos, was the only way we were going to stay in the hotel. I asked for wine for the room on booking, and then a few days before requested this to be changed to Champagne. I spoke to the representative to ensure that this would be in the room, or... More

We have been coming to this hotel for years because the location is great - close to Canberra attractions and also to Manuka shops for cafes and restaurants and to Kingston Markets on a Sunday morning. The rooms are large so the family can comfortably fit into one room, there is a nice indoor pool and the buffet breakfast is... More

Please accept my sincere apologies for any poor communication on our part during your stay. That this review is on Tripadvisor should alleviate your concerns about only positive reviews being allowed. Just to clarify a few of your comments: 1.
