Best Hotels near Mount Taylor Nature Reserve, Canberra

This was a one night stay in Canberra as I had a medical appointment nearby the next day. Check in was relatively quick and easy, the staff explained the hotel facilities and then we headed up to the room. Once we got to the room, it was quite pleasant albeit a bit dimly lit. As it was a weekend, that meant their restaurant was closed, that posed no problems as in the foyer there's the Pantry, an area that has a limited selection of items ranging from frozen meals, to chips and chocolates. The microwave was a bit tricky to operate but once I got the hang of it, we had a quiet dinner and settled in for the night. As we'd been given vouchers for breakfast the next morning (allowing one drink and one food item - something we weren't told) we dropped in to their restaurant to have breakfast. I picked the apple cinnamon pancakes and later a bowl of Granola. Once the items were brought to the table, I noticed that the pancakes were almost submerged in maple syrup!!! I thought I was going to be brought a small jug of syrup to add as I wished, but to have them ”swimming” in syrup ... not a good look!. The bowl of Granola was rather tasty with yoghurt and fruit topping it. As we left, we presented our vouchers, to be told it covers one food and drink item, leaving a small charge at the end. So to backtrack and rate the hotel itself: The room was quite nice, beds were narrow and comfy, the bathroom spacious but the shower only has a glass panel that only covers half of the shower you'll need to keep it within that half or risk flooding the bathroom .. The hotel is rather nice, but will we stay here again? More than likely not, no fault of the hotel or staff ... just not our style...

Excellent stay, place was new and clean. Apartment came with a washing machine, a kitchen set and an oven. Toilets were pristine, location was awesome and service was great. Highly satisfied

My kids (young teenagers) and I stayed here for two nights over the school holidays. The one bedroom aprtment was very clean and well presented. We paid the surcharge for a third person and unfortunately, a third person was not catered for. We had to request beddinng and then (too late/after Reception had closed), realised we did not have athird towel. No spare bedding was provided in the room. The fold out couch was super lumpy and prety unbearable, luckily my youngest is small and could sleep on the couch itself. Otherwise - it was very warm (so good on two very, very cold nights). It is right over a bus terminal, so would have been slightly loud if you were opening the doors/using the balcony. Close to shops, cafes etc which was convenient. Free parking underneath. Overall, pretty good. I just felt a bit annoyed about being charged $55 extra for a third person and then not actually receiving anything at all for that charge.

Overall not value for money in my view at $180 per night thru Statesman site. Do look for cheaper rates. Location is very convenient. Not sure what part of the rooms were renovated. Freshish paint? but long brown stain on the bedroom wall, and bubbles on ceiling paint of bathroom. Had to sanitised bathroom door handles, etc. on arrival given hand basin is in bedroom area not bathroom/toilet area. Don't expect a hair drier, shower cap, cotton buds etc. Shower area had 'pink' and brown mold in grout and black bits in corners. Bottom of shower door was moldy/dirty, with mold on door seal. Shower was not cleaned throughout the stay. Room was not vacuumed , white threads etc. still by bed. During the 7 night stay, the room was not serviced except for towel, toilet paper replacement. Ben top sheet was changed once and bed made only once. I saw nothing to advise of this on booking. There was no info on this in the room either that I could see. No 'do not disturb' sign available according to staff, nor lock on the door or chain, so had to make a call on the mornings I was working in room. Will stay in Woden area next time.

Hotel is good, when we went, it was just the New Year holiday, I felt that the staff was not enough, the breakfast was a bit confusing, the breakfast buffet was good, there was a free parking space but there were only a limited number, and I could only stop at the hotel’s paid garage. In it, a dozen or so Australian dollars a night, or parked on the side of the road not far away.

The staff were wonderful, especially Sulab who was very attentive and welcoming. I decided last minute to stay at the Garden City hotel and was very glad with my decision. I had a hot breakfast which was absolutely delicious and found the breakfast restaurant to be very cosy and the staff also very helpful. I will gladly stay again with my next visit to Canberra.

Hotel location is very good, there are two market roads to the east, there is a supermarket, there is a supermarket, the hotel is in the northwest, the Capitol Hill is in the northwest, the hotel is set firmly, the environment is quiet

The location is on the main road and the highway is convenient. The hotel is right next to the golf course, green and very quiet. Hotel facilities are complete, health and safety. This special E-MAIL allowed the hotel to arrange the same room at the last check-in. Although the hotel replied that it could not be guaranteed, it was reserved, thank you very much! Go and choose.

Very nice hotel with a large terrace and a kangaroo in the yard, very close to a large shopping centre. The hotel has ample free parking spaces and is suitable for self-driving friends.

Overall, the service is very good. Every staff greets you with a smile, answers questions patiently, and is very satisfied with the room and breakfast. The only downside is that the swimming pool is a bit small, in another building outside the hotel. Due to hygiene issues, the swimming pool is closed on the afternoon of the check-in day.
