4/10 Fair

A room booked for 3 people only had 1 bed ready, had to ask reception to make the bed, and only 2 towels instead of 3. Waited for a seat for the buffet breakfast for 30 mins both days. The room card stopped working 2 hours before check out.

Location is excellent. Hotel room is good. But they have pillows that look big but squash into nothing and mattress that is way too soft for a good nights sleep.

8/10 Very good

The Novotel is so close to the Canberra centre and a myriad of eating places. It is well located near public transport (Bus Taxi and Light rail) It has a nice pool and good food options. I stayed on the 1st level and found that the rooms could do with a bit of a freshen up. But overall we enjoyed our stay, i would stay here again.
