The apartment was clean, tidy, dated but what we needed for the time we were there. Staff were friendly and check in was reasonably quick. They are serviced apartments and get a clean every day. The only hiccup was that we weren't equipped with a "do not disturb" sign as we didn't always want a clean! If you're in Canberra... More

We spent almost a week here with our baby, but had to change rooms mid-stay due to how hot the room was. This was a hot, humid spell, but no excuse for how hot the room was! You can, however, open the windows which for me is a big advantage. There is ac,but it's in the lodge area of the... More

Stayed here recently in THAT room next to the office. Roomy but expensive, though everything in Canberra is overpriced. My complaint is re the washing machine. The communal washing machine/dryer room has a sign restricting usage to between 9am and 7pm, from memory. Some clown either next to us (not the office!) or above us had their washing machine going...

Hi Tom, I am sorry that your sleep was disturbed by the actions of another guest. I take your comment on board and in the next run of our compendium will add the advisory note that washing machines in rooms should be used only during socially acceptable hours in line with the public laundry hours. As you observed however it... More

We stayed in a studio apartment with King size bed and spa bath, Samsung LCD tv very good reception. The room was very clean and the tiny kitchenette just right for a few days stay. The staff were very helpful, good gym equipment, undercover pool just right. Plenty of parking underneath and free.

We stayed here for 3 nights. While it was comfortable, with undercover parking and excellent staff however the complex is probably more than 10 years old and is quite tired. It is badly in need of refurbishment, especially the fixtures and fittings. The location was good for us as it is close to the Dickson shops and we were visiting... More

At reasonable price, close to the City, beautiful garden, quiet area, couldn't ask for more. Suggest to go to a restaurant called Watermark on the Edge, for fine dining :) Internet and spa bath, added bonus .... What a gem
