Clean and spacious room, staff were friendly and helpful, restaurants and pub downstairs great! So lucky there were kids school holidays activities on the weekend we arrived!
Wonderful rooms with great customer service. Kids loved it. The ladies at reception were amazing and kids got the activity bags which was a surprise for them. We will surely visit again.
Room was clean, staff so helpful, breakfast so stunning..my balcony was the biggest balcony I ever had. But because I am muslim I can’t take complimentary wine, so maybe you can offer me others option.
Very comfortable standard suite with bath that my partner was very happy about. Staff were very friendly and helpful. They swapped out the non-functional coffee machine and reconnected the bedroom TV. Parking was convenient, dining area was expansive and comfortable. Didn’t get to use the spa/gym facilities.
Great property, nice and comfortable for a long weekend away. Louis for dinner is a fantastic choice, the food is incredible, highly recommend the chocolate mousse too!

It was a nice hotel overall, but there were a few things worth mentioning.
It would have been appreciated if the staff had informed us that the sauna closes at 6 pm. There was also a party or wedding at the hotel, and the music was very disruptive until midnight, which affected our ability to sleep.
Additionally, the wine that was listed as part of our room package was never provided.
These may seem like small details, but they make a difference to the overall experience, especially at a five-star hotel, where you expect thoughtful touches and attention to detail, such as complimentary bottled water.
Great location and sophisticated amenities and dining options.
House cleaning left a little to be desired for a 5 star hotel. Floor hadn't been vacuumed sufficiently and there was food under the table. On day 2 of my 3 day stay I actually need to request this service.
At check in it was very speedy which was terrific. At the same time I wasnt introduced to the property. No idea how to access pool and spa and no details on restaurants.
On the morning of my checkout with my do not disturb sign on the mini bar replenished felt it appropriate to still know and ring door bell to see if I'd eaten from.the mini bar. This was incredibly annoying given I was still.sleeping.
On the whole the property is lovely.
Great stay! Clean room, friendly staff, and a decent breakfast. Everything was well organised and the service was excellent. Highly recommended. Special thanks to the staff for their outstanding hospitality.
Staff were professional, friendly and helpful. Property is well maintained, modern and clean.
Some great options for food and activities on site and nearby. Stayed in the 1 bedroom suite - spacious and great amenities. Loved the deep bathtub.
Kitchen is well appointed with the basics - toaster, kettle, coffee pod machine, dishwasher, microwave and fridge. Only thing I’d point out as a downfall was the microwave needed a clean as it had a build up of food splatter inside, so I opted not to use it.
Room service was excellent, and well priced.
Parking has a lot of space, but getting in and out is a bit squeezy, as it is an underground Wilson’s car park.
Will definitely be staying again! Staff deserve a massive shoutout as they are the face of a business, and they truly represent it well.
I recently stayed at Hotel Realm for two nights and had a fantastic experience. The room was exceptionally clean, spacious, and thoughtfully designed. The furnishings and décor were classy and well considered, creating a comfortable and stylish atmosphere.
What really stood out was the staff, who were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with any request. Their excellent service made the stay even more enjoyable.
Overall, Hotel Realm exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and high-quality stay.
Booked three nights for my family in adjoining rooms for the Canberra Marathon - amazing rooms, great staff that assisted us with checking in, amazing restaurants and food options in the hotel and surrounding area, and great location as a base for marathon weekend. Highly recommended.
