Reviews for Mercure Canberra
Annie O'Shea
I required a handicap room which was large ,spacious and clean. Easy for me to move around and really appreciated the shower chair in the bathroom which great. Room was tidied every day plus bed remade. Would love to stay again, oh and the food was very yummo. Thank you for making my stay so comfortable
Susan Macca
Great place to stay. Would definitely stay there again. Stayed in a room near the main street but couldn't hear the traffic at all. Wish the shower wash was filled up though. It only had enough in it for one shower, stayed for 3 nights. Also had only one roll of toilet paper, had to ask for another. Other than that. Very clean, comfortable bed. Location is perfect

Stayed here on a quick overnight stay while in area for work. The staff are more than pleasant, the rooms are a nice size and are clean and comfortable. The restaurant has a great variety of food available, and as the weather was nice, it was great to sit outside and smell the aromas coming from the wood fired smoker. I have stayed here in the past, and I will do so again.

Staff were lovely and helpful. A problem with housekeeping, only 1 towel between 2. Mentioned it and was told to collect towels from Reception!! Bigger problem, the sheets on the bed were WET. Rang reception and 2 people came up with sheets for the bed. These were the only available clean sheets in the hotel!! These were also wet but not as wet as the ones on the bed. Let them change the sheets as it was take it or leave it. Breakfast- ok, it was a buffet and food was cold, but they did warm it up in a microwave for me. No decaf tea or coffee.

Great service, spacious clean rooms and nice interior garden/courtyard in the middle of the hotel. It's a bit further away from restaurants and shops, so you'll probably be driving. I picked the Mercure in particular for their pet friendly rooms while travelling with a dog, which is often hard to find.
