I stayed in a standard double room at Novotel. Positive Aspects: Room is quite big and spacious. It has nice reading chair on which you can lie comfortably and read. Beds are very comfortable. TV had like some 30 channels. Hotel is located centrally at the center of Canberra, very close to great eating places, shopping malls, gym and entertainment... More

I travel to Canberra for meetings several times a year and always choose the Novotel. Staff are friendly, breakfast is excellent and beds very comfortable. Located in the CBD it is close to restaurants and shopping.

Some minor issues - no white wine in fridge only red (it appears housekeeping restocked the wrong variety); Contacted reception & due to the hour,... More

I have stayed here a few times. It is nothing special: just an average hotel, with an average room, and an average bed. Generally clean and tidy, but it is getting a bit tired since its last refresh. OK enough for a night or two for a bureaucrat or middle manager while in Canberra on business. But, for me, it... More

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was great for dinner and for breakfast, with efficient and helpful staff and the food was lovely. The only negative was that the mattree was too soft.

I recently stayed at the Canberra Novotel to attend a conference with a collegue and the Novetel met all our expectations and I have no hestiation in recommending this hotel for business travellers. My only very small grizzle would be that the motel was trialling a free internet service in the rooms which was a nice idea but as it... More
