Used the family package deal which incl interconnecting rooms, questacon family pass, breakfast and parking - purchased on hotel website. We were enjoying our stay up until we ordered room service. We're told it would be a 30-40 minute wait so we ducked to the hotel pool for 20 mins. When we returned we noticed a missed call/message but when... More

Beautiful hotel, location isn't the best but Canberra is pretty spread out and people stay where they need to. Check in was smooth and professional, given room several hours early but no assistance with bags. Suite was spacious and good value compared to the rooms, I liked the stark colour scheme and decor, although a bit of art work wouldn't... More

Stayed in the Realm for only one night during a business trip. The rooms are amazingly big and very nice and modern. They look more like suits as you have a separate kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. The room is equipped with everything you need. didn't have time to enjoy other things in the hotel (like gym) but my... More

I've just checked out after staying here for a week and a half and Hotel Realm is definitely a good hotel to base yourself out of for longer stays. Room service food is good. The surrounding restaurants are all nice, especially the Maple+Clove cafe serving healthy whole foods. There's also plenty of post-work atmosphere in the Ostani Bar. We held... More

The BEST thing I heard said and I experienced was how wonderful the huge king-size beds were to sleep in and how great the rooms were. However we also commented that the mainly black, grey and silver tonal range made it rather dark and gloomy. Everything is ultra-modern and sophisticated, to the point of not being able to locate switches... More

From the advertising you would think the realm is a combination of the Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong and George V in Paris. The reality is pretty depressing. This is an apartment style hotel masquerading as something upmarket. The rooms are good but it stops there. Every football team, convention group,. Religious group, nonreligious group in the world must stay... More

I really love this place! The service was fabulous. We held an event at the National Ballroom, the food was great, this place certainly has an extremely high standard of service for events. Our stay in the Terrace suite was fantastic - the room was spacious and modern with a luxurious bathroom and great amenities. Although the hotel can be... More

I just spent two days in Canberra with my wife staying at the Realm. I've stayed before and have never been disappointed. Our room was spacious, the venue is close to all the important galleries and the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff was impeccable. Breakfast was not super luxurious like some hotels but was more than adequate. The expresso... More

We had 4 days here while competing in the Australian Masters Rowing. It was a great place having a kitchenette and lounge/dining area as we could make our own breakfast and lunches. My husband loved the Apple system. Also the fact that it was 15 mins walking from Manuka meant we had access to many restaurants.

The location of this hotel is absolutely perfect. We walked to Manuka for dinner, the RUC for a bit of footy and a beer, to Parliament House for a visit to the centre of Australian democracy. We were greeted by the most FANTASTIC concierge - Chris - he was soooo helpful and took such pride in the role he was... More
