I travel to Canberra for work regularly and have tried various hotels there. The Realm is the perfect mix of location, right near parliment house, and style. It is modern and the suites are huge. It has a good feel and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The restaurant and bar are busy, which is unusual for Cnberra, and... more

Hotel Realm has got excellent facilities. There is the gym and pool in the basement (a fully-fledged gym available for locals to join - and a lot of them do) and the three excellent restaurants within the hotel. The rooms are spotless and have a posh feel with a flat screen tv. Rates can also be very reasonable - I... more

First time staying at this new hotel. Very large room with extras like a separate kitchen, spa and balcony. In fact, the room was so large that I felt like I was playing a game of hide and seek to find things in it. It took me a long time to find out how to order room service. Bed was... more

Stayed here several times over the last year, in standard room, and 2 bedroom suite with colleagues - both for work and for a conference. Location is great, especially if you are not wanting to be in Civic. Overall the hotel represents good value by Canberra standards but won't be for everyone's tastes - particular if you like the personal... more

While in a fabulous location, Hotel Realm is let down by several little things which, as noted by other reviewers, detracts from its "5 star" claim, plus some things which I found frustrating/annoying. First the positives from a 2 night stay in a "Realm Room": * The hotel's location is excellent, * The room was very spacious and the bed... more

They just don't get simple things right like having a light on in your room for those (like myself) who check in late at night. The door to the room is so heavy and it is difficult to hold open the door while trying to find a light switch at the same time. Staff are really young and not able... more

This hotel has inspired me to actually join tripadvisor as opposed to just reading others reviews. This is NOT a five star hotel and is extremely overpriced for the services provided. Upon checking in (it took us two laps of the block to find the entrance, no trolleys, no porters) we made our own way to a very cold two... more

We returned for our second stay and found the Realm had lost none of its WoW factor since our last visit 6 months earlier. Service and staff attention continue to be of a high standard. The splendid undercover parking for guests is a big bonus in Canberra's winter. We had dinner in the restaurant. This was excellent, food produce, flavour... more

The Hotel Realm is very well situated, near to some of the cultural sites of Canberra. Its also very modern and very comfortable. We stayed as part of a "Kingdom" package which offered dinner with a bottle of wine, bed and breakfast, which we felt offered very good value. The room we were provided with was a two room suite... more
