FAQs about hotels in Canberra








Culture, Politics and Military Mix

A popular quiz question is: what’s the capital of Australia? If you answered Sydney or Melbourne then it’s time to discover the real answer – Canberra. With Parliament House at its core, Canberra fans out across both sides of Lake Burley Griffin to reveal a diverse mix of museums, restaurants and bars filled with curious tourists, political persons and public servants.

Canberra was created as a solution to Australia’s 2 largest cities squabbling over the right to become the national capital. The Limestone Plains region in New South Wales was chosen as the site for present day Canberra. It was a good choice for nature lovers as it is surrounded by bushland, mountain ranges and, more recently, wineries.

The National Gallery, National Museum and National Library of Australia highlight Canberra’s cultural riches. Other notable institutions to visit are the High Court of Australia and the National Film and Sound Archive that stockpiles a collection of Australia’s early radio, television and film history.

The military also plays a significant role here with many training facilities for the army such as the Australian Defence Force Academy. An unforgettable experience is attending the Anzac Day Dawn service at The Australian War Memorial.

Australia’s cultural capital with a political punch has many hotels, motels and apartments on Booking.com for that city trip, business jaunt or family holiday.

    our time was not long enough to be able to answer the question. THe city what we managed to see, is a great place to visit, and easy to to get around. It is a clean city, with lots of parks, and attractions. The lake and the lookouts from the hills. Then the autumn colors at the right time of the year. Floriade in Commonwealth Park with all those beautiful Spring Flowers. Canberra is certainly a city worth visiting , any time of the year.

    The War Memorial was well worth the visit staying for the last post was an incredible moving experience. The visit to parliament was fantastic all the staff were informative and caring. Sitting in for a short time in the House of Representatives was fascinating to see parliament at work. Mount Ainslie is well worth the drive up the hill. At night and daytime.

    There is plenty to see in Canberra and this was my 2nd time in 4 months, once with my 15yr old grandson and latest with husband. Always good exhibitions in the various Galleries and Museums and both Houses of Parliament are worth the visit, specifcally Old Parliament House with the various displays of interest. Questacon is a must for all ages. With my grandson we hired bikes for the day and had a great time cycling to all the venues. he loved lunching at Parliament House and the State Library and finally cycling to the War Memorial.

    Great city to visit for a week - 10 days.

    Great city to visit for a week - 10 days. Roads are fairly easy to negotiate with google maps. Lots of great places to eat, sight see. Lovely cruise on the lake, lots of galleries and museums to see - many free entry. Pretty clean city although some rugged footpaths. Paid parking on many streets so carry some coin. Plenty of free activities around. Pity Telstra tower has been left as a ruin. - used to be a fabulous lookout and restaurant.

    We have been to Canberra many times and enjoyed such things as the War Memorial, Questacon, old and new Parluament Houses, the National Gallery, the High Court and the National Museum. Two places we visited this time were the National Arboretum and the Canberra Botanic Gardens. Both were excellent, especially the Arboretum where the bonsai collection and the Village Centre were outstanding.

    This property is great value for money given the service and accomodation it provides. This was my second time staying at this hotel and each time I have found the front desk customer service to be excellent. The bar at the top of the hotel is quite nice and has a great view. The hotel is also located in the nicest part of Canberra not far from Manuka and Kingston. Avoid staying in the ‘city’ (civic) as it’s bland, unappealing and only worth visiting for the shopping centre and a couple of bars.

    The hotel is centrally located on Northbourne Avenue, so it depends on what you intend to do when you are in Canberra. This is a basic hotel if you want somewhere to sleep and shower and to eat simply. It is probably suitable for families, and the hotel does have a bar, gym and pool. Our room was quiet, and we heard no traffic noise.
