I enjoyed the Novotel Canberra's excellent location, being close to a variety of cafes and restaurants. My room was spacious and featured a lovely balcony, though I did encounter several maintenance issues that affected my stay, including noise from the bus terminal. Overall, it has its charm but definitely needs some updates to fully meet expectations.

My stay at Novotel Canberra had some bright spots, especially its central location near restaurants and shops. however, the overall experience was marred by a few significant issues. The rooms were spacious and generally clean, but they felt dated and in need of refurbishment. The valet parking was a disaster, and the restaurant service left a lot to be desired.

The room was spacious and clean, though it was quite dated and there was some build-up of dirt in certain areas. My initial room had a tiny bathroom with the sink outside, which was disappointing, but the second room was much better.
Service

Check-in was smooth, but the valet service was a major letdown. I was left to find my own car and deal with another vehicle blocking mine, with no help from the staff. There were also issues during breakfast with staff not finding my booking.

The location was excellent, just a short walk to the Canberra center, restaurants, and a cinema. This was one of the highlights of my stay.

Dining options were limited during my stay. The restaurant was closed for dinner due to staff illness, and room service had a very limited menu. It would have been nice to be informed about this upfront.
Facilities

The pool and spa area were nice, although quite noisy due to children during the holidays. I also noticed maintenance issues like mold in the bathroom and a fridge that needed defrosting.

Service was a mixed bag. While some staff members were polite and professional, I felt the overall atmosphere was lacking. There were delays in room service, a chaotic breakfast service, and issues with the parking management.
Location

The hotel is excellently located in the heart of the city, making it easy to access restaurants and amenities. However, the design of the parking area is quite concerning, with narrow spaces and a lack of guaranteed access for hotel guests.

Breakfast was decent but the buffet-style service caused congestion. The quality of the evening meals at the bar was below standard, with dry food and delayed service. It didn’t live up to my expectations.

Facilities included a pool and a bar, which were nice. However, the pool area could benefit from better maintenance and the mini-bar service was non-existent. The lack of basic amenities like body wash on arrival was disappointing.

Overall, while there are some areas for improvement, the experience was pleasant enough for a short visit.
