Stayed there on 13 April for the Canberra marathon. Internet didn't work and the woman at reception was very uncooperative. She said that because it was complimentary, there was no ground for complaint. The reality is if a hotel advertise wi fi, I expect to find wi fi, and I expect it to work.

We were there for one night only, in a studio suite. Would stay again! GOOD FEATURES: - its layout and generous size. It provided a separate large bathroom and the kitchen and dining area was "out of sight" from the bedroom area. Huge balcony. King size bed, a small desk and a small dining table and three(?) chairs was also... More

My husband and I stayed at The York for 2 nights recently. We were in Canberra for a family wedding so other family members stayed there as well. We found the location just fantastic. The rooms were clean and the staff were really professional and helpful. Our room was quiet and the king sized bed was really comfortable. The suite... More

We booked based on the pictures presented of the units available and the location. We chose an Executive Suite as looking roomy and a bit smart. What a let-down. We needed a head lamp in the suite. The lighting was terrible - dark and improperly placed. E.G. One overhead light in the bathroom and it was behind you when at... More

The York provides self-contained apartments, right across the road from excellent cafes & shops in Kingston. It is in very close walking distance to Manuka another great suburb. Very close to all attractions. The rooms are well furnished and fitted out. The room I had was nice and quiet. It is a hidden gem and I will be staying again!

Have just had 3 nights at the York. The finer points of housekeeping let this establishment down. I had to pull a plug of hairs out of the bathroom sink "YUK". The bedside table was covered in dust along with the bedside light and TV remote. The TV didn't work so maybe that is why it was dusty, no one... More

The York provide a great location for accessing the cafes, restaurants and bars of Manuka. Our room was quiet, spacious and clean. The kitchen et was more than adequate, although we did not use it. The room also came with packaged breakfast and plunger coffee, but with really excellent cafes across the road there would be no real reason to... More

Great location as there are a number of places to eat around. I stayed in a studio room. This is a service apartment with decent kitchen facilities so if you are staying for a few days it is a nice place to be. Bed is comfortable, the room is large, although the bathroom is looking a bit dated. Very clean... More

We stayed two nights. The kitchen was spacious, with plenty of crockery, glasses etc and a microwave and hot plates. The plug was too small so it was useless, just a little thing but annoying just the same. It was supposed to have a washing machine but it had been removed at some point and there was just an ironing... More

I stayed at The York on a Saturday evening. The room was clean & spacious. Location is great if you wish to be located in Kingston in the inner south. Unfortunately the windows should have been double glazed. I had a night where I was not able to get any sleep whatsoever! If it wasn't the noise of the happy... More
