The Sebel Canberra Civic
Very comfortable and clean. Great location. Very quiet. Friendly staff. Only 4 minute walk to the Canberra Centre where you can also leave your car overnight. The only negative is the mini bar which was way too expensive. Would definitely stay again.

Clean, modern, super quiet - the only thing that lets this down is a lack of onsite (or close) coffee shop/cafe!
