The Mercure in Braddon is a quaint quirky old hotel. The superior rooms are spacious, and the bathrooms are modern. It is well priced for a budget stay. It is two storey and I don't believe it has any lifts. I have stayed many times for work trips. It is walking distance to the main Canberra shops. There is limited free parking at the front and paid parking at the rear.

This Mercure is in an old fashioned looking building on the outskirts of the city. Good but basic hotel rooms that were all clean and comfortable. Bathrooms quite small but fine and the hot water in the shower was amazing. Great air conditioning too. The location is about a 20 minute walk from a shopping centre / civic downtown but there’s not really anything nearby the actual hotel. You can also walk about 20 mins to Braddon which has a lot of cool bars and things to see and do. If you had a car it would probably be a lot easier to stay here than relying on public transport.

This is a very old hotel. The wallls are paper thin. It is lovely and comfortable in that old style but you can hear all the sounds from adjacent rooms, upstairs and downstairs. If you’re using this hotel just to snooze and go venture Canberra during daylight, then it is the perfect choice and value. My room (105) was above the gym: every morning, an avid runner starts thumping the treadmill at 7am. I am an early riser so it doesn’t bother me. When I checked in, the guests upstairs were having loud sex or something. I don’t begrudge someone having a good time, but I can hear every single bump on the bed. I called reception and they did pipe down. The staff are amazing. There is ample parking out front. Would I come back? Yes but definitely would have extra ear plugs.

Family get away, walking distance to the shops. It's a little outdated but still an affordable hotel. A small but useful little kitchenette if you want to have breakfast before leaving for an adventure. Very clean, friendly staff would absolutely stay again.

The rooms are very large and roomy. The furnishings are dated but fit the Heritage listing. The carpets are tired but the beds are comfortable. The bathroom is large and clean and well equipped. Lovely to still have facewashers available.
