DJ M Families - TripAdvisor review

We were initially assigned to a lower-level room; however, my son expressed a preference for a higher floor. Upon returning to reception, we were promptly assisted with a room change to one featuring a balcony with tables and chairs. We extend our particular gratitude to the team member on duty around 13:00 on Saturday 20th.12 for their exceptional assistance. The reception team provided outstanding support, and the facilities, including the pool, sauna, and location, were excellent. We anticipate returning in the future.

Tired & in need of refurbishment

CrippAdvisor TripAdvisor review

We have stayed here dozens of times over the years. The Novotel Canberra is in a great location, lots of good places to eat close by & rooms were OK. Now in 2025 the place is run down & in need of a refurbishment. Worn dirty carpet, old saggy mattresses & out of date decor. On top of that the toilet in our “accessible” room was dangerous, it was literally coming away from the floor. In an example of not understanding whaat “accessible” means, the soap/shampoo dispensers are out of reach of the shower bench! We were charmed by 2 delightful stars in the bar - Mia & Yash. Just fantastic hospitality professionals. Unfortunately as Accor members they could only offer us garbage win for our (un)welcome drink - penny pinching at it’s worst. Time to find a new place to stay in Canberra.

The room had a weird noise coming through. Every 20 mins it sounded like a rush of air or something was rolling through the hallway. Couldn’t explain it. I thought it may have been the tram but it wasn’t. Parking an absolute rip off

Dear Thomas, Thank you for staying at Novotel Canberra and for sharing your feedback. We understand your frustration with the disturbance in the room and the issues you experienced with parking. While we aim to provide a comfortable and hassle-free stay, it is clear that these aspects did not meet expectations on this occasion. Your comments regarding the noise and parking have been noted and will be reviewed to help improve the guest experience. We appreciate your honest feedback and hope that if you do return, we can provide a more seamless stay. Kind regards, Ali Mair General Manager
