This review would have been somewhat different hadn't the events that happened after I checked out didn't unfold. It was my birthday weekend away and we headed to Canberra for 4 days. The stay was nice enough, rooms clean etc... but I left my leather jacket in the cupboard and didn't realise on returning to Melbourne I had left it... More

Got a good online rate so was curious as to how this motel experience would pan out. The Garden City is proximate to most attractions in Canberra. It is an unremarkable building set back on a service road. The road is not unduly busy so traffic noise isn't an issue. Staff were okay. The dining looked fairly 'motel' generic in... More

We booked this hotel as a mystery deal with Wotif and were pleasantly surprised. We stayed one night during a recent trip to Canberra to see the Renaissance exhibition at the National Gallery. The room was clean, a decent size and included a flatbed TV screen and Iphone docking station. The bathroom was small but what you would expect -... More

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the rooms and amenities. Excellent value for money. The staff are friendly and took the time to leave me a long voice message on my mobile explaining how to obtain my room card in the event I arrived after the Reception had closed. Would definitely stay here again. My room was nice... More

Booked here for the weekend of the car show- Great deal compared to everything else in Canberra that weekend. This review is in keeping with the value for money for this stay.

We stayed overnight on a weekend and I was a bit surprised to find that there was no room service on the weekends. A few of the other reviews have commented about the strange positioning of the toilet, I think the sink is too big for the spot. But what I really didn't like was the toilet paper dispenser that...

There is absolutely nothing special about this hotel, it rather resembles a room in hospital than in a hotel. No ambience at all and I wonder what did they get their 4 stars for. The restaurant isn't open for dinner at weekends and public holidays. Its clean but everywhere there is a strong smell on washing liquids.air from ac is... More

We found Best Western Garden City well organised (for example, they called us on the day with instructions where to find our room key as the reception shuts at 10:30pm and we weren't there by 10pm) and the room was very clean.
