I stayed here each night for 4 nights whilst working in Canberra. I found the staff excellent, professional and accommodating at a high level. Especially during these difficult times due to COVID. The room service and the food was exceptional and all the staff should be commended on their efforts.

Respectful Retro and Convenient

brianr0e 11/01/2021 TripAdvisor review

Tasteful adaption of an older hotel which is comfortable convenient. Excellent options for dinner. Perhaps extended hours for breakfast during holiday periods could be considered especially as there are no other options with walking distance.

I am sure that this feedback will serve as an encouragement to all of our staff as we strive to continuously improve the quality of our services.

Quiet and peaceful

Dinesh N. Families - 08/01/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Given the COVID-19 situation is unprecedented, as a travelling Victorian family, we were apprehensive about travelling to Canberra. Mercure Canberra has a beautifully old-world charm, newly renovated rooms and bathrooms overlook a quiet and sleepy courtyard filled with English-style country gardens. With the ability to have breakfast on the "deck" at Olim's Restaurant on warm days allowed us to have a nice feeling of calm and a provided a good selection of hot and cold options from a a la carte menu. Highly commend the staff working in Olim's. She was warm, lovely and friendly. Given COVID, the gym & spa was closed which was disappointing but understandable, and the food overall was amazing. Overall, great place with a great location close to all of Canberra's great sights and delights. Canberra is not on everyone's list of places to visit, but highly recommended and a must do.

Dear Dinesh, We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Mercure Canberra. We are delighted to read that you had an excellent stay and enjoyed the heritage ambiance of out beautiful hotel. Thank you for your special mention about Emily, I will make sure to pass your lovely comments to her. Thank you for your kind feedback, and we hope to see you again soon. Sincerely, Kelsey Neale Assistant Manager

Thank you so much for remembering that it was our anniversary even though we did not state this again. We married there in 2002 and love to come back to stay to celebrate our anniversaries when we can. We enjoyed the sparkling wine and chocolates that were left for us. The room was very comfortable, as was the bed. The food was fabulous as always. Thank you kindly!

Pat Couples - 04/01/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Enjoyed the stay, we did need to fold up the sofa to use as a lounge and upon folding it up found that there was broken and crushed biscuits under it requiring the calling of house keeping to vacuum up the mess. also there were two face washers in the room both of which were stained and looked dirty.

Well located - great staff.

Tracey Couples - 03/01/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff was excellent. Room was good however mattresses need some attention. The historic charm of the property is a little overshadowed by some general maintenance and cleaning needed and perhaps overdue. Such a beautiful property and location - just needs a little attention. Meals were excellent and again the staff were great.

Dear Tracey, We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Mercure Canberra. I am glad that overall you had a pleasant stay with us.

Well located pet stay

Kate Families - 02/01/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

We took our dog to Canberra with us. Was great to be able to go away with her. However it would have been good to be able to leave her at the hotel for an hour here and there to be able to go to lunch or to the shop without her. Overall a very comfortable stay.

It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback, it is one of the perks of working at the Mercure Canberra that we get to see everyone's four footed friends!
