This hotel is a very nice apartment complex which has recently had a major refurbishment, and has a fantastic location next to the best Canberra has to offer in restaurants and nightlife. To say the apartments are spacious is an understatement, fitted with new appliances and contemporary decor. Surrounded by a well kept modern garden complex greeting you from the... more

I first stayed at this hotel a year ago and booked it again on the basis of a pleasant first stay. However, in the space of a year the standards at this place appear to have dropped. As a returning customer, one would expect a room at least as good as the first stay. Unfortunately we were given an inferior... more

I stayed here for a night and checked-in at about past 7 pm. It was a bit difficult to find the room though as it was a bit dark. Although I was alone, I was provided a suite with two bedrooms, one with a queen-sized bed and the other with two single beds (I wish I had brought my family!).... more

I had never visited Canberra before and was knocked out by how green and lovely it was - I'm glad we chose to stay in Kingston because it was like a little village with great cafes (Art Espresso!) The Griffin has a very weird statue of a griffin outside which looks pretty creepy after dark but this was good place... more

Stayed at the Griffin Suites Hotel in room 431. Pros: Very nice, very clean rooms, modern furnishings. Very helpful and pleasant staff upon arrival and when we had questions. Very good security for getting to the rooms, and good security for the car park as well. Located across the street from a smallish grocery, shopping area and lots of restaurants.... more

Good things: *Close to shops, restuurants and a supermarket (althought the supermarket in Kingston is super expensive). * Rooms are large and spacious * Bathroom amenities very good (although not replenished on additional nights) Bad things: *Restaurant seems to open when it feels like it * No room service * MEGA RIP OFF internet connection * Woeful gym - broken... more

Stayed 2 nights in a 2 room apartment. Nice deco, cozy, clean, bed is soft and comfortable. Enjoyed the jacuzzi. Location is convenient, supermarket and restaurants are just across the road. About 5 mins drive to the Old Bus Depot Sunday Market (one of my favourite) and 5-10mins drive to Manuka. Only drawback is no washing machine and dryer in... more
