Top Canberra Hotel Reviews

Avenue Hotel Canberra

Avenue Hotel Canberra

8/10 Good
"No complimentary water is provided in the rooms. Supplying at least one bottle of drinking water is standard practice across hotels and should be implemented. On the first night (Friday, 16‑10‑2026), although a small table for two was available at the restaurant, the receptionist refused to seat me for dining solely because I was a single guest and instead offered a bar stool, which I declined. This behaviour is unacceptable, and management should take corrective action regarding this staff member."

"Check-in very quick & our room ready early plus parking was so handy but there’s a fee which was worth it. Good size rooms, very clean bathroom, comfy beds, lovely view. Staff so good nothing a problem. Great variety on buffet. So close to shopping centre. Only issue was the pool wasn’t clean to swim in."
