Reviews for Hotel Kurrajong
Bianca Simpson
We had a generally enjoyable stay at the Hotel Kurrajong, with its convenient location as a major highlight. The neighbourhood made for easy, free street parking over the weekend, which was a bonus. The building itself is charming, and there’s a nice mix of historical ambiance and modern amenities. However, we had a few hiccups that detracted from our overall experience. The chrome cast in our room didn’t work, which was frustrating, as we had hoped to watch a movie one night but couldn’t resolve the issue. We also noticed inconsistency with the towels—on the first night, we had large, plush towels, but these were replaced with smaller ones later, which was a bit disappointing. The bed, while adequate, was slightly firmer than we’d have preferred, and the pillows could do with an upgrade. With a few improvements in these areas, the stay would have been close to perfect. Overall, though, it’s a solid choice for a weekend stay in Canberra with great access to the city’s highlights.

Liked: Friendly staff, charming heritage vibe, larger than typical standard room, nice cold fridge, big bathroom, well maintained room and public areas, excellent quality TV. Disliked: Smaller cushions on the room tub chairs would be better as the ones used are way too big. More serious however is the relatively recent change to a new car parks gate control system that came with expanded parking capacity from one to two car parks, something that was desperately needed. The new car parks access control is best described as ineptly implemented, with thoughtless positioning of card readers making it almost impossible to open the gates without getting out of your car, and poorly implemented sensors for boom gate raising when exiting, so that once again, exiting the car to use the car reader or contact reception to get the boom gate raised was needed. Rectify the car park access control system so the $18 per day fee to use it is then justifiable!

Nice and quiet. Old charm which is nice. Well appointed rooms. Bathrooms are too modern and don't match heritage of building. Mattress was firm. Would stay again. Brekky and coffee was nice

Hotel Kurrajong Canberra offers a charming blend of colonial elegance and modern comfort, making it a delightful place to stay. The hotel's architecture and decor give off a nostalgic, classic vibe, which adds to its unique charm. The staff are welcoming, personable, and always ready to assist, contributing to the warm atmosphere. The on-site café stands out with its delicious menu, offering a range of dishes that are both well-prepared and flavorful. Whether you're stopping by for a quick snack or a full meal, the dining experience is satisfying and well worth trying. One downside is the hotel's location, which is a bit removed from Canberra's city center. While this provides a peaceful, quiet retreat, it may be less convenient for those looking to explore the heart of the city on foot. However, the serene environment more than makes up for this, especially if you appreciate a more relaxed pace. Overall, Hotel Kurrajong is an excellent choice for those looking for a stylish, peaceful stay with great service and delicious food.

Terrible Experience with Hidden Charges and Lack of Response I had a very disappointing experience with this hotel. After my stay, I was charged $55 twice for items they claimed I used from the minibar, which I absolutely did not. The worst part is that they charged me without any prior notice after I had already checked out. I immediately reached out to the hotel via email to clarify the situation, but they have not responded to any of my messages. This lack of communication and transparency is unacceptable. I would strongly advise others to be cautious when staying here and check your bills carefully after leaving. Such practices are unprofessional and leave a bad impression on what could have otherwise been a pleasant stay.
