Dear Melissa, Thank you for your feedback. I understand that having access to a microwave can be particularly important when travelling with a baby. While our guest rooms are not equipped with microwaves, we do have microwaves available for guest use and our team is always happy to assist with warming bottles or baby food when required. We appreciate your comments and will take them into consideration as we continue to improve the guest experience for families travelling with young children. Kind regards, Saksham Duty Manager Novotel Canberra

Michelle C. Families - 8/17/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Stayed in twin room, room spacious and has everything you need. Pool and spa are great, it’s a shame the Sauna has been retired as most hotels have saunas now and I really enjoy a sauna. Location in Canberra excellent, walk to city centre & shops. Rooms are old, but it was to be expected since I had read reviews of the hotel. Breakfast selection fairly good, it was crowded as the food is all tightly together in the dining room. Customer service could be better, bar staff seemed more preoccupied with behind the bar tasks then serving customers. Would prefer if Accor Vacation club was on your room card or something making it easy to purchase food and drinks with the Accor discounts.
