Top Canberra Hotel Reviews

Pavilion on Northbourne

Pavilion on Northbourne

8/10 Good
"Stayed 3 nights in a one bedroom serviced apartment, with free wi-fi and smart tvs. It was clean, if a bit tired - the main carpet needed shampooing. The location was convenient, with free secure parking and a light rail stop nearby. Staff were friendly and responsive. Amenities were functional, with a gymnasium, outdoor pool and coin operated laundry. The Atrium restaurant and bar provided a relaxing space for drinks, snacks or a meal. I would have preferred to be able to order individual breakfast items rather than a full or continental buffet. I would definitely stay at The Pavillion when next in Canberra."

"Here’s a polished version of your review: The staff were very cooperative and friendly, and the kitchen facilities were excellent. However, the rooms were quite small. I booked two rooms for four adults. In my room, I tried to turn off the heating, but I couldn’t stop it, so I had to open the fan instead. In the other room, the heating was not working. Overall, despite these minor issues, I had a good experience and would be happy with my stay."
