Great little hotel

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 8 Apr 2018via mobile
Went down to Canberra for an overnight stay and decided on this hotel. Car parking underneath and the lobby was very minimalist. The hotel room was very stylish with a contemporary Japanese feeling. It was in the little small side but very enjoyable. The bed was soft and if your not into a soft bed then I would try a different hotel. The most enjoyable parts are the bar and study lounge within the hotel to work or relax. Also restaurants and cafes are all close by if you don't feel like heading out too far for dinner. Great stay and would be back again.

Dear Andrew M,

Thanks for your great review!

It sounds as though you made fantastic use of the hotel, enjoying our library and lounge as well as the comforts of your room.

We certainly do have an abundance of great restaurants and cafes in our surrounds, and hope you had the opportunity to enjoy these for yourself too!

Kind Regards,
Madi

Away for 4 nights in Canberra I found this through Trip Advisor reviews and decided to book it.
The location is very conveniently located in town and it is a comfortable place to stay.
I was a little surprised at the size of the room ( somewhat on the smallish size ) but then again we only really need somewhere to sleep and shower.
We have found the staff to be helpful,and the bed is huge and is like sleeping on a cloud!!
Really good place to stay. Happy Jan

Dear Justjanet1952,

Thanks for your wonderful review!

We certainly do embrace the 'Little' in Little National Hotel, and are so glad to hear we've hit the nail on the head with a comfortable place to sleep and a dreamy shower. I do hope you got to enjoy our breakout spaces on levels 5 and 6 also.

We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back soon.

Kind Regards,
Madi

It's a small hotel but serves its purpose really well. Its modern, minimalist design is really well thought out and the impressive use of space makes it feels comfortable, not cramped. Super clean, too. I really liked it and I'm keen to come back. Perfect location if you have a client close by, however it's kind of far from the commercial centre of town (Ubers are like $10-$15). And pretty close to the lake which is great for a morning workout. Staff are an absolute highlight as everyone is so warm and accommodating. Night drinks in the lounge - also a treat. Thanks for a great stay.

Room tip: Ask for a room away from the elevator and on the top floor

Frequent traveller, have stayed here many times. Unfortunately it's starting to get a bit tired and am guessing maintenance not being kept up to date.

The most recent trip I had the luxury of having to move rooms twice. First the electronic blinds wouldn't close, so changed rooms, only for it to have no power. The third room was functional, but missing spoons (??) for the coffee and suspiciously not spic & span clean.

The process to change rooms twice took about an hour. And the hotel staff treated me throughout as if I was causing them hassle, rather than the other way around. I have to say given some of the other hotels around in the same price bracket, the LN will no longer be one of my first preferences when in Canberra.

Room tip: go the 6th floor

Dear 433GoldCoaster,

Thank you for taking the time to review Little National Hotel Canberra. We appreciate your feedback and I have raised these issues with the team. I would like to sincerely apologise that you had to move room 3 times during your stay. This is not what we strive to achieve at Little National and it deeply concerns me that these issues were faced as this is certainly not the standard that we like to uphold. I hope that we can welcome you back in the future given the chance, feel free to reach out to me directly at lily.epsinosa@domahotels.com.au to ensure a favourable future stay, I will ensure we go above and beyond for you. Once again, I apologise for not meeting your expectations.

Kind regards,
Lily

Stayed here with 2 friends last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. Beds are huge and very comfortable. Rooms are spotless and easy to relax in. Staff were all polite, professional and friendly. Looking forward to staying there again

All areas smelled beautiful, the views were great. The decor was lovely, bed very comfortable, however, the position of the bed meant my husband had to keep climbing over me to get up. The toiletries were lovely but not replenished properly.

Dear Jtraveller31,

Thanks for your great review, complimenting the pleasant smell and views from our rooms, library and lounge!

For future stays, our beds are one big square. This means we can make the bed with the pillows under the window, preventing anyone from climbing over one another. Don't hesitate to reach out when making your booking, our team will be more than happy to assist.

We hope to welcome you back soon!

Kind Regards,
Madi
