Top Mount Ainslie Hotel Reviews

Novotel Canberra

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent service and assistance with local travel arrangements given the construction currently occurring in Canberra"

A by Adina Canberra

10/10 Excellent

"I had to remind the reception showing them my booking in app that I have a free bottle of wine as a VIP with Expedia. They didn’t have it in the record. It was delivered afterwards."

Tall Trees Ainslie Motel

8/10 Good

"Very convenient location. I only gave 4 stars as the shower was leaking, the bathroom was extremely small, washbasin was really narrow, every time we open the tap the water splashed to the floor. But the room and the bathroom was very clean, had a small kitchenette. I'd say great value for the price we paid."

"Clean room, friendly staff, complementary breakfast, close to city center and restaurants. EV chargers"

Midnight Hotel, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve stayed here before and never used the pool. This time we did and it was good. Would be quieter outside the school holidays. And probably cleaner. Decent size though the tiles were a bit slippery. Free mini bar is a treat."

Mantra on Northbourne Canberra

8/10 Good

"I tried to cancel or re-book, I was unable to contact Expedia. Emails were not respond replied to. Hotel advised to contact Expedia. Very disappointing."

Canberra Accommodation Centre

10/10 Excellent

"I booked a double room without ensuite for myself. It was very comfortable and only a couple of doors from the bathroom and near the kitchenette, (microwave, toaster and jug and fridge). Large kitchen was down stairs. The bed was comfortable and the towels were new and large and fluffy..... such a treat. I never had to wait to use the bathroom and the facilities were kept very clean and tidy. I enjoyed my stay here and will return."
