Novotel Canberra

Room was neat and clean, facilities at hotel like swimming pool, kids enjoyed a lot.

Excellent hotel very close to the city centre of Canberra, great buffet breakfasts and family friendly hotel.

Excellent as always. My go-to hotel in Canberra. 5 STARS

Easy self check in, great location

It would be good to have at least two chairs in a room for a couple and also if the single chair actually fitted under the desk. A small bench in the shower cubicle would also be handy to put items on as the small rack above the toilet is too high and not easy to access. It would be good to have more variety of vegetables served rather than two sprigs of broccolini. The parking charge and availability should be made clear when booking as this is an additional charge when comparing motel prices.

Good 2 nights close to everything food yummy

Upon arrival, it was mentioned that in was a returning guest (and was thanked). A ‘gift’, consisting of 3 small chocolate bars and 2 bottles of water was waiting in the room (that was nice). The room we booked was listed as 1 x King bed and 1 x sofa bed. After arriving, it became apparent that the sofa bed didn’t have any bedding nor was there any spare bedding or pillows in the room to allow us to make up the bed (additionally, after pulling the sofa bed out, it was quite clear that under the sofa bed had not been vacuumed in some time, evident by quite a few pieces of popcorn, biscuit crumbs, and chips). A visit to reception was taken and a lovely staff member attended to make up the sofa bed and then also retrieved a vacuum cleaner to sort out under the bed. 10/10 for that staff member! 3/10 for the hotel…

Don’t bother. Book yourself and Airbnb and enjoy some peace and quiet. Too loud. Air con shocking, really stuffy.

frandely staf and cline room.

Had a wonderful time with my son. The room was clean, the bed was very comfortable, the shower was great, the staff were friendly. We really enjoyed the pool, spa, gym and breakfast. Easy walk into town to food and shopping and very close to the lake where we went for a beautiful bike ride.The only thing I could fault was the paid parking which would have been a significant extra cost if we had stayed longer which we both wanted to!

I didn’t like that there were no food menus and prices in the room for room service. I didn’t like that when I called kitchen and also reception for information about room service that neither of them answered.

Central

Comfortable, family oriented hotel with great indoor pool and spa. Good breakfast offerings. Short walk to multiple evening dining options. Parking options onsite limited so used street and paid parking garage.

Great location. Rooms are good but starting to show their age. Parking is limited ... you might end up in a parking garage 400m away which is a bit of pain if you have a lot of bags. Hard to beat the location!

Staff are nice. Property also very well kept. But no water bottles in room. Late night we had to go out to find water. Parking is horrible.

Clean and spacious

Very comfortable beds, great location only a short walk from a massive shopping centre. In-house restaurant was lovely with an cosy bar. There is a very hip “food court” with interconnecting wine bars just across the road. On-site parking was a bit tricky as it was full but good that the lit up sign displayed how many parking spaces were free (so I went around the block and 1 space became available).

Close to everything, breakfast options are good

No available parking and construction noise went on all night

We had such a lovely 2-night stay at Novotel Canberra! From the moment we arrived, the staff were welcoming, friendly, and genuinely helpful, making us feel right at home. Our room was clean, comfortable, and well set up for a relaxing stay after a busy day exploring. The location was fantastic – right in the heart of the city, so it was easy to get around and enjoy Canberra’s sights, cafes, and shops. We also loved the hotel facilities, especially the pool and gym, which made it easy to unwind. Breakfast each morning was fresh and delicious, with plenty of variety to suit everyone. Overall, we left feeling refreshed and well looked after. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Canberra, whether for work or a weekend away. We’ll definitely be back!
