Hotel di Belconnen

Very basic budget accommodation, just good enough for spending one night. I arrived late, there was one computer in the main entrance to check in, no signs indicating that it was the computer to check in and out. For the check out the drop off box for depositing the keycard is not signalled and small, the carpets on the G floor are dirty. The shared bathroom was clean, only 2 cubicles for shower and 2 for toilet . The room was clean. No kettle, mini fridge. The smart tv wasn’t really smart, there’s no way to make it work. Location was good, plenty of free car park.

The staff at Pavilion couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful in letting us change rooms and responding to requests.But this didn’t quite make up for the fact that this hotel is in need of some serious TLC. We noticed at reception a tourist excellence award from Trip Adviser from 2012, which is hardly current. On the plus side: The huge foyer area was pleasant and welcoming. The king bed was very comfortable which is the main thing, quality linen. Bathroom towels were plentiful and soft and the shower over the bath had a non-slip surface and a useful help rail to get in and out. What needs attention: The desk and table in both rooms we had were chipped, and the curtains somewhat old and worn. The darkish grey paint also did nothing to raise the energy of what was already a dark room (215) with a tree outside. No plugs were provided for the basin and the bath, though these were supplied on request The restaurant staff were great, but the chicken schnitzel we ordered was really disappointing and poor value at $35. We would also have appreciated a microwave being available, if not as standard on request, as in many hotels. Overall a disappointing experience we would not repeat.

The hotel is located right near a row of shops, and it's just a short drive away from the city. There is onsite parking for $12 a day, and you will be able to enter and exit the carpark as many times as you like. The staff were extremely helpful with requests and very friendly. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone planning on visiting Canberra.

We booked this hotel under ”Luxury escapes” and it certainly wasn't luxury! When we got there the receptionist was absolutely terrible (no customer service skills whatsoever) and not to us but to others as well. When asked about parking she said it's just across the road. Asked her how to get there and she gave us a printed form and said that should tell us - no explanation of form of direction. When reading the instructions it was very confusing and it took us a while. We were meant to receive a free bottle of wine and a voucher. Didn't get that, I had to call reception to ask for it and had to go down to reception to pick it up. Got back to the room and there was 1 wine glass. I gave up and on the following day asked for another wine glass. She said she would send it up via housekeeping......it never came. On the second day we had to evacuate because the fire alarm went off. My husband has a walking stick and finds it very difficult to move. But we did it. Got the site where you go for evacuation and there's no one there to direct us or anything, I find that very poor especially in a hotel. I had booked previously to go back in April but I quickly cancelled it. Worst hotel I've ever been to

Stayed 1 night in Canberra. Hotel was in a great location cation, lots and lots of eateries in walking distance. Reception were very polite and helpful. Parking underground with a boom card to get in and out. Room was clean and tidy. Comfortable bed and air con worked well. Lovely hot shower with toiletries. Fridge, tea and coffee, kettle and microwave in room. Didn't watch tv but looks like a lot of channels

Quite old hotel, more than 50 years old, very tiny room. and wifi signal is very week. You need to get the conference WiFi from reception. But the signal is still quite weak. The breakfast costs $25, and there's not too much food. However, their service attitudeis is quite good and they wish to help you. Although the limitation comes from the hardware.

We stayed here for the Easter long weekend. The room was basic but modern and clean and the bathrooms looked recently renovated and the showers were fantastic. Staff were lovely and checkin and check out was quick and easy. Beds were quite comfy as well. Unfortunately their restaurant is no longer operational but there’s plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby so that wasn’t as issue. Our “family room” turned out to be just 2 hotel rooms next door to each other, but had a door that you shut off to the hallway that you needed a key to use to open, in order to then access both hotel rooms.

I went down with some friends for two days of Canberra races. The location was excellent. We got ubers everyday and generally they were $9 to get anywhere we wanted. The staff were friendly. The rooms were great. Dickson itself has some great pubs and plenty of restaurants to choose from. Overall our stay was excellent. Could not fault it.

I had to attend a funeral in Canberra and a friend recommended this YMCA (Leumeah Lodge) in suburb of Nicholls, handy to that side of the city off the Barton Highway. This accommodation is very new. If your GPS is old, then No. 48 is not on it! It is located opposite McDonalds and behind KFC. It is lovely, spotless, nicely appointed with very helpful, friendly Reception staff. There are 58 (differing) and all non-smoking, rooms to suit most, including bunkbed rooms used by school groups. As a single, I chose the ”Queen” perfectly adequate for a couple - the room, bathroom and shower all spacious, with toiletries and hair dryer provided; the double bed was very comfortable. Air Conditioning and WiFi available with a wall mounted TV, tea/coffee bags & a kettle. There are dining facilities only for Groups but you can order a Breakfast Box the night before from Reception. Parking is available. This Lodge is far superior to many hotels I've stayed in and the cost far less! It was amazingly quiet overnight (a Thursday). I recommend this accommodation.

we stayed in a two bedroom unit for 3 nights while we looked around Canberra. The unit was older but clean and tidy. The nights were close to freezing and while the reverse cycle airconditioning did a good job keeping the unit warm, the floor and the bathroom were very cold. Apart from that this is a great park to stay. Location is perfect to be close to the different areas of Canberra. Having a restaurant on site was a welcome bonus. We went there for dinner and the meals were a good size and tasty. All staff at the park were friendly and helpful, and one small issue we had was resolved quickly. Would definitely recommend Alivio as a place to stay when visiting our capital city.
