Avenue Hotel Canberra

8/10 Good

"Check in was seamless and quick. Staff at the desk were pleasant to deal with. Our room was ready at 12 and was able to check in. The room was lovely. Clean with all the amenities. Location was ideal. Close to the city centre. The only thing that brought my rating of this hotel down was the breakfast. The restaurant was very understaffed for the amount of guests . We needed to constantly request for things that had run out at the buffet.variety of food was very simple. Not worth the cost."

"This hotel is close to restaurants, movie cinemas and shopping centres. This hotel was only 10 min from most of the main attractions. Our only issue is there is no onsite parking. Its all offsite, using a paid parking lot across the road. Finding a spot was difficult."
