I've stayed here twice, each time for a week each. I had a great 5 star experience the first time, but a 4 star experience this most recent time. Don't get me wrong, it's still a good place, it just want as good as the first time.
This hotel is located in southeastern Canberra in the Kingston/Manuka area. From here you can walk to either of the areas in those two neighborhoods that has tons of restaurants, so that's good. The hotel is very nice and also modern and very clean. There's a restaurant and a restaurant/bar just off the lobby. The staff is very friendly and willing to help with whatever. The rooms are fairly spacious and as clean and modern as other areas of the hotel. My room had a fridge, coffee maker, stovetop and a nice view. A couple things I like about the hotel: the have free wifi for guests, and there are computers in the lobby you can use. Also, they have bikes you can borrow for free which you can use to get around town a bit.
Like I said though, although I like the place, I don't like it as much as I used to. Why? There was a 100MB limit/day on the wifi. Somehow I burned that up in about 20 minutes my first day, despite my not downloading and files, upgrades, audio or video. I was more careful in the future and did not have this problem again (the free Canberra city wifi a block away helped). The breakfast place was different this time and although it resulted in better food, it was more expensive. I only need something simple, but that wasn't really an option. Also, my room was smaller than last time and with no bathtub.
So I still like it, but it's not as good as before.
