Deco Hotel
"We stayed one night and did not order food. The room was lovely, big enough with nice seating for us to have a casual meal brought in, with family. The balcony was a bonus. It's wonderful to be able to open a door. Most importantly, the staff are fantastic."

Avenue Hotel Canberra
"Fantastic location and a clean room with loads of space. Only downside for one of us was how soft the bed was. Just a bit too soft for the one with the bad back. The bar was cool."
