I had a wonderful stay at East Hotel. The rooms were clean, modern, and very comfortable, with everything I needed for a relaxing visit. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help. The location was convenient, making it easy to get around and explore the area. I also appreciated the excellent amenities and the overall atmosphere of the hotel. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend East Hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable experience.

I have stayed at the East Hotel many years ago and decided to stay again recently. Price was decent and included upgrade to one bedroom. Unit was nice and has everything one needs and very large, but unfortunately as the bed was so uncomfortable and hard I could not ever stay there again. The staff were excellent and made efforts the next day to add some padding but we still found it so excessively hard. I know it was two single beds pushed together but I can't imagine all rooms had a bed this hard, I was extremely sore for the two days and didn't want to stay the second day because of this. Everything else at the hotel is perfect. The vibe is nice, atmosphere is nice, staff are nice. We had meal at the restaurant for dinner - restaurant was full so we sat in the lobby to eat and was even better - very comfortable and quiet and nice food. It's handy having Kingston Hotel across the road too. Nice area to stay and just five minutes walk to Kingston shops. If it weren't for the bed for sure I would stay here again as I really love the location and vibe.

We have stayed at the East Hotel a couple of times and on both occasions we have found it to be an above average property. Firstly, the good things. The hotel has a very “funky” vibe with a cool restaurant and bar as well as the nice fit out and general “quirkiness” setting it apart from the usual chain hotel feel. The East Hotel is a good location, a short car ride to most of the major attractions of Canberra. The rooms are well appointed, with a pleasant view (on the higher floors). All the staff we met were helpful and courteous. The only thing stopping me giving 5 stars is the bed. Maybe we got the same room as the other reviewer who commented on how hard the bed was? Anyhow, one of the two single beds pushed together to make a double bed in the room was hard and lumpy. At this price point, I would expect a proper, comfy, soft double mattress to guarantee a good nights sleep. Overall though, would stay again (and just try and avoid the room with the lumpy bed!) 😃

What a lovely stay with Easts, again. I can’t thank you enough for making our days pleasant ones. A special mention to Kirralee who helped me organise the surprise anniversary flowers and chocolates for my wife, and then to add your own gifts on top of that was amazing. She loved it. The room service from your people, including the excellent food from Agostinis just enhanced our ANZAC weekend. Being a two minute walk to Manuka oval for the football game was icing on the cake. If you are considering staying in Canberra, I highly recommend staying at Easts. They seem to live “customer experience”.

Great experience at East from booking through to checkout. We really enjoyed dinner and breakfast at Agostinis. Friendly, helpful and efficient staff throughout hotel and restaurant. Excellent location for walking to Kingston shops. Room on 4th floor was very quiet. Complimentary fudge in our room for my partner's birthday was a lovely touch!
