We know this hotel well. It continues to appeal because of its location and historic ambience. But since its refurbishment, the structure has aged and the woodwork is losing its freshness. In summary, the hotel is 'tired' and needs refreshing. This property used to exude energy. While Canberra occupancy and rates are high, pressure for an upgrade is low. But... More

I'm pleased to report that we've experienced improved customer service from the weekend staff at Hotel Kurrajong. Despite recent disappointments, we decided to give the hotel another try and we're pleased to find that the hotel had responded to our (and other TA reviewer) concerns. We were clearly warned that a $100 deposit was required and was offered the choice... More

Hotel Kurrajong is good option if you want to be close to parliament buildings and national gallery, and would like something a bit different (and cheaper if you get the online specials) than the big-name hotels. The restaurant is not open on weekends, but you do get a fairly substantial continental breakfast. The coffee is not very good though, so... More

Large older style rooms that have been updated with new carpet and linen, comfortable bed and pillows, no complaints about the room except for one, the aircon blew out cold air on the hot setting. And I was freezing! Extra blanket and socks fixed this problem. Free wifi, nice continental breakfast (bit boring after five days and needed changing up)... More

What more could you want really? The rooms are big and clean and comfortable. Pretty basic but friendly staff service. Fantastic location. All this for value that is really hard to find in Canberra. More

I stayed here as it was the only "budget" option on a recent unexpected trip to Canberra, although I question how budget $88 a night is... The common areas of the hotel are very nice with original period features etc. The room I stayed in was definitely towards the bottom end of the market. Although clean, the furniture is a... More

We arrived unplanned and apparently during a festival of some sort so our options were limited. We hadn't stayed in Canberra since we were youngens so we looked for something comfortable with breakfast for two nights. We found it at Hotel Kurrajong, it was just a little in need of new aircon and refurnishings and new carpets. The building has... More
