Rydges Canberra
This hotel is now getting a little dated. My shower wa pretty old. The reality is that it was cheap to stay here and for the cost it was excellent. I am happy to have affordable nice accomodation. At the end of the day it is somewhere to sleep. The breakfast was dry md pretty ordinary.

Avenue Hotel Canberra
Good hotel to stay in Canberra. Well positioned for bars and restaurants in the area. Breakfast was good with choices for all tastes. Restaurant wasn’t flexible in allowing my wife to order off the bar menu as she didn’t fancy the à la carte. Too bad as it meant they lost the business
