Wonderful Weekend
The room was beautiful, spacious and modern. Longish wait for room service cocktails but otherwise perfect. It would be nice if room service was also available from Joe’s bar during opening hours.
Walking distance from Kingston and Manuka and some beautiful restaurants and bars.
Breakfast at Agostini’s was excellent.

Clean and nice apartment , also great spa and shower.
Few cons: noise from downstairs/neighbours around late night and AC in the room wasn't that cool even after putting to the lowest temperature.

Great - but what about Appelles?
East - always great. Only disappointment is the move away from Appelles toiletries.

Pleasant, spacious studio apartment. Our one was very quiet. Efficient, friendly and professional staff.
We really appreciated the excellent lively hotel bar and the Italian restaurant. The house Italian sangiovese was good value considering the very high quality. Next time we come to Canberra we will stay here again!

Stayed here for a business trip in late August. Appearance from outside was appealing. Staff upon greeting were not enthusiastic. I had to ask about how to park also. Room presentation was great, overlooking the manuka oval. Bathroom facilities clean and decent water pressure after a long day. I had a meal delivered to the room, with a little of confusion but I ended up getting the meal. The bed was comfortable, the room was dark which I liked too. My night was very quiet which I always fear going to a hotel so a big tick here. Upon checkout I grabbed a coffee, very delicious and courteous cafe/restaurant staff. I wasnt advised there was a fee to park on site either ($20 for the privelege to park the car). I didnt appreciate that. Easy enough to have parked across the road at the kingston hotel at no charge.
Overall I did enjoy the stay
