Hotel Realm exceeded our expectations for the quality of the room, the cleanliness and the facilities and the location. Our included breakfast was great except that the hot food was quite cold and the staff weren't really on top of cleaning tables, replenishing glassware for drinks, or really being efficient. However, despite that, we truly loved our stay and plan to stay at Hotel Realm on our next stay in Canberra (which is regular as we have family there).
