Top Acton Hotel Reviews

Forrest Hotel and Apartments

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed the quietness and having other family members able to stay in the same area , would’ve good to have somewhere to wash dishes other than the bathroom"

Avenue Hotel Canberra

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved our stay at The Avenue Hotel. Reception staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming. Our room was very well appointed & spotlessly clean. Would definitely recommend having breakfast if staying at The Avenue there was a great selection and everything l chose was delicious. On top of all that great location to get around and see everything Canberra has to offer. Would definitely stay again next time I visit Canberra."

Hyatt Hotel Canberra - a Park Hyatt

10/10 Excellent

"I would return to the Hyatt in a heartbeat. Old school charm without the chintz feels. Elegant. Staff were lovely especially Ben in reception. Facilities were great. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom had the best amenities and shower pressure. Will try the breakfast next time. It was too busy (school hols). They even have a hotel dog Pixie (lab). V happy and impressed and it’s now my favourite Canberra hotel."

Abode Belconnen

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is located in a quiet area, with a place to park your car overnight and a Woolies across the road. Kitchenette makes self-catering possible, but we just ordered room service (didn't wait long at all - reasonably priced). Bed was soft with crisp linen. Room was clean. We were able to stream onto the big TV from our devices. All up: great spot!"

Hotel Realm

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and sophisticated amenities and dining options. House cleaning left a little to be desired for a 5 star hotel. Floor hadn't been vacuumed sufficiently and there was food under the table. On day 2 of my 3 day stay I actually need to request this service. At check in it was very speedy which was terrific. At the same time I wasnt introduced to the property. No idea how to access pool and spa and no details on restaurants. On the morning of my checkout with my do not disturb sign on the mini bar replenished felt it appropriate to still know and ring door bell to see if I'd eaten from.the mini bar. This was incredibly annoying given I was still.sleeping. On the whole the property is lovely."
