"Stayed here for the weekend with a friend for work and got the Queen balcony room which was clean and the bed was comfy, great fleece blanket for some extra warmth during the cold night. Staff are friendly and super helpful. Room had a fridge, kettle, microwave, air conditioning and tv. Plenty of parking and the area was peaceful. Loved listening to the birds in the morning."

Midnight Hotel, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"What a great hotel! It came recommended and I understand why. It’s in a great location with many kid friendly dining options, the hotel is clean and had everything we needed including easy onsite parking."

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."
