Top City East Hotel Reviews

ibis Styles Canberra

8/10 Good

"Good location, but beds a bit saggy. Staff were great and breakfast fantastic."

Avenue Hotel Canberra

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in an accessible room and it was a good size and well thought out. Room door was not too heavy unlike other hotels, and position was good relative to lift. Breakfast was a well provisioned buffet. Coffee was only a coffee machine so we went out for that. A Bircher muesli option was the missing ingredient"
