Unfortunately the construction at front and entrance has an impact on flow of people, if you wanted to go out the back to the coffee shop , the first time the restaurant doors were open and made it easy, next 3 times the doors were locked and had to go out the front doors, down the construction path and walk right beside the traffic, why not leave the restaurant doors open and save a possible traffic accident. Understand the time of visit, but no restaurant to dine either night, so we went to other hotels that had open restaurants

It’s Difficult for Canberra to compete with QT Sydney the buildings are poles apart. Staff are just as pleasing. Overall Sydney wins hands down. But QT is our first choice for Canberra. All round another good experience. Roadwork around the hotel was annoying.

Parking is $30. Staff are very helpful. Amazing foyer. Yummy breakfast. Great last minute room deal. The room was very nice. It very hot outside and the air con was working overtime, and having trouble cooling the room so I am sure some guests would have found the room too warm. The shower had some mould in the tiles but otherwise was a great bathroom. Great location.
