Stayed at the York for 4 nights for business. I found the room very suitable for my needs. Clean, tidy, spacious. Location is great (never been to Canberra before), right across the road is a small block of shops, all you need, bottle shop, pharmacy, cafe's, restaurants and supermarket. I used the "room service" restaurant next door ArtEspresso, the meals... More

A weekend to visit some exhibitions was made much more pleasant with our apartment directly opposite the Kingston shops. Convenience of IGA and BWS, but with lovely cafes and restaurants. Bonus of The Book Grocer - discounted new books, and The Essential Ingredient - all those luscious foodie options. We arrived after reception had closed but had been left clear... More

We arrived late afternoon mid week to find the busy Canberra Vibe alive and well (it was a sitting week) The apartment offered a spacious bed room a small kitchenette a well appointed bath room and a nice balcony. The only minus was that the air con didn't work but we had no need for this as the weather was... More

My partner and I stayed just for the one night during our business trip in Canberra. We found our room very comfortable, clean and spacious. It was great value for money and conveniently located in the suburb of Kingston which offered a lovely selection of high quality restaurants and cafes. The surrounding is quiet, private and leafy. A good place... More

This was our second stay at the York and we love it. It is the only place we wish to stay at now when we are in Canberra. It is in a great location to get to all that Canberra has to offer and the apartments are welcoming, clean and very spacious and include all that you could need. Beds... More

I am glad we chose to stay in kingston because it was like a little village with great cafes and reataurants ( artespresso, silo and idelic). The gardens at... More

I Came to Canberra to See an exhibition at the Beaver Galleries with my partner and also pop into the New Museum, Australian Galleries etc. The York was a perfect location for all of these things; we were even able to walk to the Australian Gallery. Even though on the main street of Kingston the clever design of the York... More

Stayed for two nights recently and was disappointed with what we got for the price we paid. We stayed in a Deluxe Suite at $225 a night. (I wouldn't call it "Deluxe"....) On top of that they charge $50 to have a portcot set up for a baby or child. I chose this Hotel thinking it would be ideal for... More

Hotel located directly across from the Kingston restaurants. I had a one bedroom open plan apartment. It included a LCD TV (unfortunately no foxtel), small kitchen with basic amenities, ensuite bath /shower and balcony with district views. Big bed was very comfy. Maid service that cleaned the rooms were very good. Parking is free. More
