Mercure Canberra

Kinda old worldish but not too bad.Biggest pain was the fire alarm which went off on a freezing winter morning about 7:30 am.. This by all accounts is a regular occurrence and not rectified; set off apparently by some guy smoking; 20 minutes of ******** announcements before we found out from another traveler that it was a false alarm.  Management kinda smiked sheepishlyand did bugger all. Bathroom in our room was tiny and toiletries had to be collected from the front desk. 🙄 Had to lug suitcases up and downnstairs and at the front entrance. Kinda lame. Guy working the dining room though on the breakfast shift was a bit of a diamond. After an ‘odd’ comment he myst have noticed I was unimpressed with the fire alarm ******** and went out of his way. A bottle of birthday bubbly was a classy touch by him. I’d stay there again because of him.

Beautiful hotel in Canberra, one of, if not the best hotel in the capital. The beds are comfy and there is a beautiful courtyard! What's not to like?

Beautiful property super close to shops and restaurants, and has a courtyard and enclosed guest parking. Great hotel, and the rooms were clean and big! Will definitely keep this hotel in mind for my next trip.

The hotel is quite good. The parking was in increased to A$28 if not pre-booked but trip.com says only A$15 and no need to book. The hotel ended up waiving the first night parking when we asked and we parked on the street the next day. The hotel room is very big and the beds are quite firm and comfortable. The bathroom is a good size but would appreciate rubbish bags into the bins because it feels like I can't even put in banana peel because I don't want it to go to mush inside the bin and someone has to dig it out and wash the bin. There is an iron and ironing board in the room with safe, extra blanket and pillows. The only complaint for the room is probably the noisy air conditioning. Food at the bistro inside the hotel was pretty good for dinner and the buffet breakfast had a good variety but it is the same everyday.

Disappointing breakfast and room. There was a very small section of first come first get free private parking, the rest costed $28/night which was not mentioned in the booking details. Had to buy that even though I booked this hotel because of the availability of free parking.

Good location, walking distance to Canberra center; The room is clean and layout is quite fanny ( two levels), beds are comfortable. The breakfast is above average, and we did enjoy the dinner too. Secured parking with ev charger , which is very convenient. In summary, had a good stay with Mercure and definitely want to come back if we visit Canberra again.
