Unusual design for a hotel. Friendly, efficient reception. Very basic bedrooms with poor bathrooms. Unusual arrangement of rooms around a very large atrium eating area, which made it dark and uninviting; like eating in a jungle. Room service was fairly good but I was not allowed to order hot drinks in the room because they are afraid of the drinks... More

I feel obliged to provide a review of this hotel since many of the earlier ones weren't very good. I had to stay here because my client chose and paid for it. To be honest I wasn't happy given the other reviews. So I spent two nights there rather begrudgingly and you know what? It was fine. The rooms are... More

Three adults we stayed in a superior room. Room was adequate without being anything special but it served the purpose of our three night visit to Canberra. If you don't mind a walk then it was about 20 - 25 minutes to the centre of town and about 35 to 40 minute walk to the War Memorial. We did not... More

I stayed in this hotel last month for 2 nights for a business trip. A lot of other industry colleagues stay at this hotel and recommended it, hence why I booked it. I have to say, the man at reception tried to upsell everything to me. Breakfast, room upgrades etc in the end I felt like I was in McDonalds.... More

I made my 2nd stay in 18 months at Pavilion on Northbourne Canberra. I was not avoiding the hotel during that period of time, I happened to book other hotels for my trips to Canberra largely due to cost management reasons (this was a business trip, not a holiday). This time, I decided to return to Pavilion and it was... More

I stayed two nights over the weekend and got a good price, but there were a few points that would make me look for somewhere else next time. The rooms are clean but noisy- there is a big vent in the room and the bathroom, and you can hear people very clearly all around. The room was really hot when... More

This hotel is looking very tired and in need of a major refurbishment. I have stayed here before recently and it has not really improved. Rooms are very basic but adequate. There is not much storage space so just bring an overnight bag. The hotel is quite noisy with the traffic on the major route through Canberra and the restaurant... More

We were in Canberra for the Australian Master's Rowing and needed a good place to sleep each night. we selected the Pavilion as it was recommended by the organisers. We were not disappointed - it is a good place to rest a weary head. Reception convinced us to upgrade to a suite for $30 - a good deal. The room... More

Our overnight stay was a very pleasant and easy experience. Check in and out was fast, staff helped us with directions and a map. Our room overlooked the main road, oh well you can't always have a view, but it was quiet, and comfortable with modern décor. We dined in, taking advantage of a late evening special, and not having... More
