Appreciated the staff reception and cafe, quick and efficient. Some room noise perhaps dumb waiter or lift, understandable.
Excellent cafe menu and breakfast.
Good location once the city construction detours are factored into travel plans.
Very happy to recommend

We stayed at QT Canberra for a couple of nights. The rooms themselves whilst functional are a little dated and could do with an uplift however were fine overall. The restaurant & lobby were nice and the location of the hotel is convenient for accessing all parts of Canberra & the wider ACT via foot, bike, public transport or car.
