Top National Library of Australia Hotel Reviews

Avenue Hotel Canberra

8/10 Good

"No complimentary water is provided in the rooms. Supplying at least one bottle of drinking water is standard practice across hotels and should be implemented. On the first night (Friday, 16‑10‑2026), although a small table for two was available at the restaurant, the receptionist refused to seat me for dining solely because I was a single guest and instead offered a bar stool, which I declined. This behaviour is unacceptable, and management should take corrective action regarding this staff member."

Novotel Canberra

10/10 Excellent

"it was great"

Meriton Suites Canberra

8/10 Good

"We stayed in a 2-bedroom suite. The room was very nice, and we had a great stay!"

Nesuto Canberra

10/10 Excellent

"We recently had a four night stay in a Studio Room. This is not a Five Star hotel but met with all our expectations. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and had everything we needed and the price was reasonable. The shower over the bath could be a problem for elderly guests but we were able to handle it with caution. Reception staff were always cheerful and it was no problem to obtain additional fresh towels, tea, coffee etc. It is central to City Walk and Civic/Central shopping centers and nearby restaurants. It was a walkable distance to the War Memorable and Floriade even though a free shuttle bus was provided to see the flowers. We would certainly stay here again."

Hotel Kurrajong Canberra

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay. Staff was incredibly helpful, and we loved the comfortable feel of the property. Location was excellent with easy access to everything."

QT Canberra

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was as advertised. Staff were helpful. Restaurant was excellent"

The Sebel Canberra Campbell

10/10 Excellent

"Tricky place to get to, but that's Canberra. You have to pay for parking as not much parking space about. Room was exceptional. Limited eating places around."

Crowne Plaza Canberra by IHG

8/10 Good

"Check-in very quick & our room ready early plus parking was so handy but there’s a fee which was worth it. Good size rooms, very clean bathroom, comfy beds, lovely view. Staff so good nothing a problem. Great variety on buffet. So close to shopping centre. Only issue was the pool wasn’t clean to swim in."

Little Drifter Canberra

10/10 Excellent

"All good. No complaints. Thanks."
