This is a fantastic property. Modern and clean, the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the hotel is well located. The on-site gym is great if small, and it is so. I’ve having several restaurants either on property or in proximity. Would love to stay again and would highly recommend for anyone looking for a hotel in Canberra near the National Circuit!
The room needed attention the staff were all lovely breakfast was very good

Hotel Realm is a great place to stay, amazing rooms and amenities, wish we could have stayed longer.
What you would expect from an elite 5 star hotel. Excellent room appointments, friendly knowledgeable staff, excellent food and a nice and easy experience.
Room was really good and breakfast was amazing. Only fault was room aircon could not be adjusted and was too warm to sleep. Ended up opening the sliding doors to cool the from at night

Not a 5 star hotel. The food was inedible at the restaurant absolutely disgusting. Terrible service but room service was good. Other restaurants were closed. The swimming pool was very disappointing for a 5 star hotel
