Reviews for Crowne Plaza Canberra

Recently I stayed at Crowne Plaza Canberra over the long weekend and had a fantastic experience. The rooms were quiet, comfortable, and felt relaxing despite the hotel being exceptionally busy. The central location makes it easy to access Canberra’s key attractions, restaurants, and shopping areas. I particularly enjoyed the hotel’s spaces, which create a modern atmosphere throughout the hotel. Breakfast each morning was crazy busy but excellently managed although had some wait times. What impressed me most was the team, with more than 600-800 ppl at least occupying the building during a busy long weekend, the staff remained professional, friendly, and attentive at all times. The way they managed the busy period while still delivering genuine care was truly commendable. A big thank you to the entire team for a wonderful stay. I would happily return and highly recommend Crowne Plaza Canberra to anyone visiting the capital.

Overall Impression: The Crowne Plaza Canberra boasts an outstanding location with everything you need within walking distance. The lobby offers a clean and sophisticated atmosphere that perfectly suits a business hotel. Overall, I found the pricing to be reasonable, and it remains a well-managed business hotel despite a few shortcomings. However, if the hotel aims for a more luxurious image, there are several areas that require significant improvement. Room & Recognition: As a loyal IHG customer, I was informed that I would receive a complimentary room upgrade. However, the room I was assigned appeared to be the exact category I originally booked. On a positive note, the staff were consistently friendly and professional in their interactions. The bathroom was very clean and well-maintained, though the signs of aging throughout the room were hard to ignore. Dining & Bar: My dining experience was a bit of a mixed bag. I ordered the lamb pasta; while the portion size was generous, the lamb itself was lukewarm, and some parts were even cold. Furthermore, the cleanliness of the dining table was disappointing. The surface was so sticky that it felt quite unpleasant. Regarding the bar, the server lacked basic professional knowledge about the drinks. I believe the presence of a dedicated, professional bartender is urgent to meet the expected standards. Final Verdict: It is a solid choice for business travelers due to its location and professionalism, but improvements in food temperature, table hygiene, and specialized bar service are necessary for a better guest experience.

It’s a nice hotel in a good location. We have stayed before. The service rating reflects on the management and not the staff, who really tried. Unfortunately, on this stay, the hotel was completely understaffed for the long weekend with management invisible. The hotel was overflowing with people, noise and grime. The robot vacuum missed a food spill in the middle of the corridor outside our room for at least 2 days. The communal spaces were dirty, loud, and unpleasant. It felt like the decision was made by management to stuff the hotel full of people, regardless of the impact on guests or staff, or their brand. The few staff around were doing their best, which was much appreciated. The hotel was full of families for a major dance competition which meant that many rooms housed at least four people. The breakfast queues were often very long and the breakfast buffet was completely raided within minutes. We were woken at 1.30 am Sunday morning by screaming from the corridor (which turned out to be unserious, but was nonetheless disturbing). A fire alarm was activated at one point. It was a relief not to be evacuated on a bitterly cold night. We could not wait to get out of there. We won’t be back.

This was a repeat stay for us. Great location and facilities BUT... The room way WAY too hot and the AC could only be turned down so much, and no further. Making it worse, there were no separate sheets on the bed, just a Doona. Too cool for no bed covers and way to hot with the Doona on. The room was made up on our second day but really all that was done was to turn down the top of the Doona. No coffee replenishment or anything else done. Making thing worse, we were charged for something from the mini bar that we did not use. Some people use the mini bar, we NEVER do. Overall, it was enough to put us off staying there again. Such a pity as it is in such a great location.
