Our favourite place to stay when visiting Canberra. The staff are always lovely, the rooms are comfortable, and the amenities are excellent, particularly the library area for working and the hotel’s bike rental service. The location is fantastic — perfect for walking or cycling around the lake and just a short stroll from the restaurants at Kingston Foreshore
