"Great price and a nicely sized room with a resort or student village style layout, featuring separate rooms spread across a large property. It wasn’t as bad as some of the negative reviews suggested, although cleanliness could definitely be improved. While it’s not centrally located in Canberra, the city is relatively small, and it’s a convenient option if you’re driving. Overall, I’d recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable, relaxing, and decent place to stay without spending too much."

Top Franklin Hotel Reviews

Burbury Hotel & Apartments

8/10 Good

"We have stayed at Burbury a few times, so quite a decent hotel. However, we have selected Twin beds and this was not set up when we arrived. This has happened more than once, so need to review their process for guests' bed preferences and set up the room accordingly. They did provide complimentary drinks for this shortcoming, but would prefer the have the room ready when we arrive after 3pm so we have the room for resting."

Meriton Suites Canberra

10/10 Excellent

"We came here for a girls night in! We spent a good 1.5 hours enjoying the pools, spa and sauna, then ordered Uber Eats straight to our Meriton Suites apartment for a cozy dinner night in. The 2/3 bedroom apartment was fantastic - very spacious, and it even had salt and pepper and a coffee pod machine. The next morning we took a 2-minute walk to the Civic Centre for a great breakfast and a shopping spree! This is our second time staying here for a girls night - we love it!"
