QT hotels have a great vibe and this one had an awesome bar and lobby. The room itself was dated, ugly and the beds were ridiculously soft. It was a real shame. I would never stay again.

Stayed 2 nights in a room near the lifts which is noisy due to lack of sound proofing (bit difficult to sleep). There are no lights from the roof near the bed and felt the room is bit darker. Couldn't find internal parking for 2 days but receptionist was kind enough to allow me to park in the drop off area on the second day. Parking was bit disappointing as we picked QT Canberra beacuse it has electric vehicle charging facilities. I did online check in before midday (paid) but there was no option to book parking. Location was convenient and the lobby area was renovated. Room rates seems to be fair but the inconvenience of the facilities offset that.

The Hotel was very nice, good location and the staff very friendly. Unfortunately we were put in a room next to the lifts which was quite noisy. Our TV also did not work. The food in the restaurant was quite bland and found the pillows quite uncomfortable.

Great location. Staff friendly and helpful. Room and view perfect. Unfortunately we were put next to the lift and the noise it made going up and down all evening and then again at around 4am was not great. We were also put in a room with adjoining door ( thin as, no sound barrier) and could hear everything that the person next door was saying and doing. Not much rest was had. If you were after a peaceful relaxing stay it’s def not the place. If you can put up with a bit of noise then may be place for you.
