"A top notch experience for our four night stay in a one bedroom apt at East Hotel in Canberra. Underground parking was a key consideration for our stay and it worked well ($20 a night). Very pleasant and helpful staff and a great restaurant (Italian) downstairs where we had both breakfast and dinner a couple of times. Fast wifi. Amazing hot water (the hottest I think we have ever come across, anywhere!). Firm king sized bed with comfortable mattress topper was great. Aircon was effective (its starting to get cold in Canberra in May!). Excellent soundproofing (we were on the 5th floor, directly opposite the "Kingo" hotel (world famous in Canberra). A couple of very minor (1st world) issues. The lighting in the apt was not great for makeup (so my wife told me), though there are plenty of mirrors. There was plenty of clothes storage space (including hanging), though the fact that some of this storage was in the bathroom was a little odd. Kitchen was very well appointed, with a full range of pots and pans (better than almost anywhere else we have stayed in our extensive travels). In apt laundry facilities were top notch (though we didn't use them), with separate washer and dryer. The provision of free and very tasty jellybeans and chocolate sprinkles near reception was a nice touch as well. Overall we couldn't fault the service and amenities for our stay at East Hotel."

"No Restaurant available. No gym available. No laundry room available. No housekeeping without payment. Free wifi only works for 24hours. Air conditioning restricted so cannot be controlled. No Bar. No room service. Got charged for breakfast despite booking and paying already. The advertised amenities are not available. 2 other guests started shouting at me and stole food off my plate at breakfast. And the breakfast was disgusting - bacon all fat, sausages pale and all skin, even the hash browns are rubbery. Sauces were over sweet and rubbery too. Why were there green beans in the baked beans? Barely a place to sit, and mess and old plates everywhere. Think there was only 3 people - 2 chefs and 1 FOH. Chef had to keep coming out to deliver food, whilst FOH accused everyone of not paying for breakfasts. Pool is dirty, UNHEATED, and in shade all the time. Room was dirty and old. There was no duvet cover, and the duvet was yellow and dirty. Hotel overall dirty and uncared for. Amenities they advertised were not available - straight up false advertising. Avoid this place. Expedia attempted to contact them for a refund but haven't been able to get in touch. Sums it up."

"Comfortable basic motel in Forrest. Clean, comfortable bed, well located just 10 minutes walk to Manuka and restaurants. Supplied some crockery and cutlery which was useful."

"The male staff member that checked me in around 5pm was lovely and helpful! "

"What a great property! Beautiful apartments - clean, comfy and well appointed with free goodies in the room. The staff member who checked us in (I didnt get his name sorry - Filipino male) was lovely and efficient. Providing us with advice on the amenities in the local area. He made us feel very welcomed and that they would be happy to help out with any requests. Conveniently located close to restaurants and shops. And free parking underground parking. The only negative is that we only stayed one night, so would definitely visit against. Thank you"

"The place is elegant and beautiful. The rooms are comfortable and the amenities were very good. The staff was also very kind. The buffet breakfast was wonderful, although we could use warm plates in the cold season. The side bed tables also were dusty"

"The apartment was clean, nice furniture and excellent parking in a very good location. Excellent value"

"Great location, very friendly professional staff, fabulous lounge area for drinks with games like chess placed around the area. Breakfast is delicious and very good value. The rooms are huge, bed comfy, nice decor. Great stay … highly recommended. "

"This hotel is now getting a little dated. My shower wa pretty old. The reality is that it was cheap to stay here and for the cost it was excellent. I am happy to have affordable nice accomodation. At the end of the day it is somewhere to sleep. The breakfast was dry md pretty ordinary."
