Vegetarians should give this place a wide berth... Movie buffs, book elsewhere. Seriously, on both fronts...what are they thinking! When away for business I relish the opportunity to kick back, catch on a movie and ideally be able to get room service and relax. Well, no movies event though the remote is emblazoned with clear instructions on how to access... More

I stayed in this hotel for one night on business. Checked in late and left early so did not get around the hotel much. Pros: checking in was efficient and friendly. central to everything (although no one walks in Canberra so you need a car or take a cab), very comfy bed, clean room, room service breakfast right on time,...

I'd like to point out some positives.... Nice decor? i stayed in an internal room that looked out at the atrium, thus meant keeping curtains closed at all times as everyone having breakfast, drinking in the bar (day or night) could see in. no natural light or air, didn't sleep a wink. Nice juice shots at breakfast, but otherwise breakfast... More

This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. Free internet, amazing mattress and the best service I have ever received. The hotel is a good distance away from everything major in Canberra, including Civic and Parliament House. Manuka is just down the road if you want to avoid the expensive hotel food too. Was my first... More

I only stayed at Rydges Capital Hill for a night, but it is definitely a great place that I'd consider returning to. Free internet and WiFi everywhere in the hotel. Free printing facilities. Both of these were a godsend as I needed last minute printing late at night before an early morning meeting the following day. Nowhere I've stayed has... More

This hotel was in a great location for accommodation whilst attending a family wedding at Old Parliament House. We stayed in a suite on the third floor with views of new Parliament House whilst other family members stayed in deluxe rooms which had no outside view but windows facing the atrium. The suite was very clean and spacious with separate... More

We stayed for 5 nights as my partner was attending a science fiction convention being held at the hotel. The rooms have recently been refurbished and were comfortable and clean. They were large and contained a sofa and coffee table, as well as a work desk and chair. The bathrooms could possible do with some updating in the future. The... More

Capital Hill Rydges is well located with a welcoming foyer. The surroundings are green and pleasant.The restaurants are good with happy staff to serve. The room I stayed were clean but but dated. The toilets were clean but had old fittings and repeated marks of maintenance were visible.

TripAdvisor's rating system baffles me - 3/5 is average, but 4/5 is very good? I'd like to give this hotel 3.5 out of five green dots, please. I enjoyed my stay, and things were generally good, but a couple of minor things marred the experience. As other people have pointed out, the hotel is clean and comfortable, but could use... More
