Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms, but lacks privacy and can feel a bit like a dungeon. The location is excellent, surrounded by restaurants, shops, and the beautiful Kingston Foreshores. The service is friendly but varies in efficiency, while the dining options may leave you searching for alternatives.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel in Kingston. The rooms were really clean and new, although quite small. The dining option in Kingston was excellent, but I missed having a coffee machine available.
The hotel had really comfortable and very clean rooms, but the compact size, especially the bathroom area, made me question the value for the high price I paid due to the music festival and cricket events in Canberra that weekend. The service was top-notch, with the staff being helpful, friendly, and even going above and beyond to make sure our stay was lovely. The location was great for its proximity to cafes, restaurants, and having food choices nearby, but the issue with privacy due to people being able to see in unless the curtains were closed affected natural ventilation. Unfortunately, the dining experience fell short as the breakfast cafe was closed, and communication regarding options was lacking. Despite these downsides, the hotel was in a convenient neighborhood and offered nice waterfront views with plenty of dining choices around.
