Philip B. Couples - 5/8/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

We had a nice stay, our third visit. However this trip had a couple of faults. In our room (408) the toilet roll holder kept slipping and falling off. The fridge door was broken. Also the hotel does not have fox sports which means even in Olims Bar you couldn’t watch The Footy. Other people were also disappointed. Unfortunately the place is looking a little tired.

At Mercure Canberra, we take our commitment to providing a comfortable atmosphere very seriously and are dedicated to improving our services and amenities.

Andrew D. Solo - 5/8/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

I've stayed here multiple times previously and always have a great experience. Good recognition of ALL loyalty with a room upgrade to a spacious ground floor room with private courtyard. Delicious meal in Olim's Bistro with great service from Lily, and tasty buffet breakfast. A couple of minor points of improvement - while the bed was comfortable, a better topper would be good as the join between the "king-zip" beds could be felt. Also, the milk in the fridge was already opened and left from a previous guest so I needed to get a new one from reception. Great value for money and convenient location - I'll definitely be back!

Dear Andrew, Thank you for your positive review. We at Mercure Canberra are grateful for the time you took to provide us with your feedback. We take great pride in our commitment to providing excellent service and we are pleased to hear that your experience was a positive one.
