I enjoyed the breakfast, and little touches like Dyson hairdryer, handy ice bag given to us at the bar to cool our drinks in the room. Bed was really comfy and no noise from the building / excavation work opposite .

QT needs to be really careful not to let standards slip. The bathroom had grout mold, the floor around the bed had chocolate and under the bed was someone’s deodorant. Wooden frames were cracking and splitting. I hope the owners understand that they have great staff, a fantastic bar, good location and views - but the number one asset is the building and its upkeep.

I had a great time at the QT in Canberra. The staff were really apologetic about the construction, but it didn't bother me at all. The room was beautifully decorated and fun, and the best part was definitely the bar. The entire staff were just amazing!

The hotel staff very pleasant to deal with, helped unload bags/suitcases. Our rooms were not yet ready even though we arrived exactly at check in time. The paid parking was full so we had to use paid parking on the street for the duration of our stay. Strangely the AC could only heat! we tried both rooms and were puzzled, it should be labelled heater rather than AC. The bathrooms did not have ventilation so any odors will be ready to greet you for test of your stay! Overall it was okay.
