Novotel Canberra

Everything was up to scratch. It was nice enough that the hotel gave me an upgrade.

Stayed in room 109 very clean very quiet comfy bed and curtains close to total darkness. Excellent value for money. Double check breakfast times as myself and two other couples all thought it finished at 10am. I had no cutlery and approached a female staff member who refused to acknowledge me?? I persisted with my enquiry still no response when another staff member intervened and helped me. The other one turned her back on me and very sarcastically said out loud ‘ she’ll get it for you now Sirrrrrrrrr’. Sorry but this uncalled for? I have no idea why this played out in this way? My stay was in the night of 19/3/26 and I arrived at breakfast at 9.15am if you want to follow this up?

Room was ok bit drab but nice to have a balcony

Great location

Room was clean

Should get discount for breakfast when stay there

Just fine. Location and Breakfast are the best parts. There was a big queue when I arrived so I did the self check-in but it didn't really work and ended up back down at the desk. Could be improved especially with the information you would normally get at check in with a person (e.g. Breakfast time and place, what floor your room is on etc). Room very dated with musty smell, asked for the fan to be cleaned in bathroom as full of dust (never was). Works for a couple of days but would consider staying somewhere else next time.

The rooms feel dated compared to other Novotels around Australia. However, the standout perk of this hotel is its excellent location in the heart of Canberra.

Overall good

Pillows in room very bad, only 3 on the bed, all 3 smelled of body odour & flat as a board. Staff very courteous & welcoming

Nice place froendly staff

Everything was good

The parking was an issue and felt like we were misled when booking, in the room there was a note about having hot showers and if you set off the smoke alarm (obviously poor positioning on their part) we would be up for a $1500 fine!!!. It is not up to the usual or Novotel standard that I am use to. I would not stay there again

Yes they need a bit more variety for the buffet

Lots of muld in out of the shower. The plates at the breakfast buffet were always still wet and a couple not even washed properly, they had dried food kn them still. Breakfast was chaotic, it seemed under resourced. Apart from that all good and in great location.

Parking was a nightmare. Pool area was not maintained or monitored regularly with towels

Room was clean. Tv renote didnt work but they sent someone and changed the remote very quickly. Great service. Breakfast was good too.

Staff was friendly

Broken furniture in the room, drawers etc would not close. Very dated. Expected much better from a Novotel.

Very old hotel
