Reviews for Mercure Canberra
Kathleen S
From the moment we arrived we loved the style and look of the hotel. Check in was smooth and we had a lovely chat with the lovely lady at the desk (I’m sorry I can’t remember her name). We were lucky enough to get an upgrade to a loft room which was a nice surprise and it was such a nice room. I love that it is a historical hotel, and there was even a coffee table book in the room which I read through about its history, which was interesting. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you

A little bit of an outdated hotel but the location is really convenient if you’re visiting the city. I think our room was a connecting room with a locked door between the rooms, so we could hear the TV and people talking next door. Not sure if it’s the same with all the rooms though. The service was great, they cleaned our room every day during our stay. The king room had a really spacious bathroom and the water pressure was amazing
Guy Yeomans
Happy with everything except aircon which was not powerful enough to keep room comfortable for sleep at night. Also a bit noisy. Pleased you are providing work opportunities for young adults with special needs. Excellent breakfast; comfortable beds; quiet overall (except for a/c) which helps with good night's sleep. No pool which is surprising for a big premium hotel
Dave Williams
Large room looking out onto the inner courtyard gardens. Very comfortable bed and quiet peaceful surroundings. Easy 15 min walk to Canberra centre shopping mall. Breakfast was good with reasonable choice and some variation during the five days we were there. Carpark with keycard access was good. Staff friendly and efficient- Phoebe and William were particularly helpful at breakfast. Olims restaurant and bar was fine with substantial meals served for dinner. Hotel is heritage property so is not a modern build but makes up for it with large rooms kept very clean. It is also dog friendly which didn’t bother us. Overall very happy with our stay

Nice small room in heritage part, felt fresh and clean. Nice cosy hotel Reverse cycle AC was over bed so a bit noisy but certainly kept room warm. About 1km easy nice walk to Canberra Mall for night life, shops restaurants. Parking free in front (not many spaces) and on side streets but $15-28 a night in secure back car park. A lot of the streets are clearways in the day but only Mon-Fri. Sat Sun we parked ok on the road next door. Biggest let down in an otherwise really cosy hotel was the dining room. Bare tables and food reminiscent of an RSL in Woy Woy circa 1962. Weird. Cheap daily specials but food matched the ambiance. Breakfast room much better, nice airy room, standard fare but fine. Marmalade has never seen an orange but bacon, eggs, fruit, cheeze etc. fine. Juice machine, coffee machine all good. Pastries limited to dry croissants.
