Friendly and helpful reception staff. Wonderful to have access to the tennis courts and swimming pool. Location perfect for walking to the lake and driving to tourist attractions.

Terrible stay

Natalie Families - 07/04/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Despite paying more and booking a lakeside room (with pictures on your website of rooms with lake views) we were on the 3rd floor which meant we had a view of a carpark and a busy road (so busy we couldn’t sit outside or leave balcony door open as the noise was deafening) we asked for another room at the front desk but were told the hotel was full and because we hadn’t put in a special request for a lake view it meant we didn’t get one. Hardly seems fair?? The bathrooms were so revoltingly dirty that I had to request someone come and clean them again - a used soap found on the shower floor (with body hair attached) discovered only after my young son had showered, faeces smeared near toilet roll holder and caking the toilet brush, soap scum so thick on shower screens, around door edges and between tiles which clearly had not been scrubbed in months (possibly years)! Even my husband was disgusted by the state of it. The kitchen bizarrely had all utensils and cutlery wrapped in miles of plastic wrap (terrible for environment) and was very poorly equipped with no basics like scissors. Doors and walls were scuffed, aircon in rooms was so drying at night that we all woke up with painful bloodshot eyes (we would have opened a door or window but for the traffic noise) no sheets on beds only very hot doonas. Exhaust fans in bathrooms sounded like a jet aircraft taking off. Overall a very rotten stay and really very sad given your prime location near the lake. The place badly needs renovating. We won’t be returning.

Dear Natalie, Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay at Breakfree Capital Tower. I am very sorry to hear that your time with us was not enjoyable and fell below your expectations. As our units are all individually owned (and we share the building with residential apartments) we have very limited amounts of lakeside apartments that have a high floor and view. My apologies that this was not communicated to you at the time of making your reservation. At BreakFree, we strive to provide a superior service experience for every guest; therefore your feedback is very important to us. Please be assured that we are taking the appropriate measures to address the housekeeping issues with the team to prevent future occurrence. The team were very busy on your day of arrival, and although this is not an excuse, it meant that unfortunately things were missed and the quality of the room fell below our usual standards. My apologies again that your reported issues were not rectified during your stay. I agree that this is not acceptable and can understand your frustration on not having these resolved. I hope that you will give us the opportunity to better serve you in the near future. Please reach out to me directly when you are planning on returning to Canberra and I will make sure that we take care of you with a hand-picked room on a discounted rate with complimentary parking. Thank you again for sharing your feedback with us, and I hope we can get a second chance to change your perception of our property soon. Kind Regards, Dixie

We have passed on your feedback to our maintenance team to investigate the cooling issue. Thank you again, and we hope that aside from this you enjoyed your weekend away in Canberra.

Overall good but needs better Wifi

Danny Business - 27/03/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Very comfortable and convenient but the wifi was hit and miss which was annoying as I needed wifi for work

Good room, great staff and central location for anywhere you want to go in Canberra.

We've been in act for 7 weeks for work. Have stayed here the whole time. Kitchen and amenities are good and staff are fantastic.

Great service but terrible cleaning of unit

Anonymous Families - 22/03/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Hi Breakfree, We had a great stay for a week at the Capital towers, the staff were accommodating and helpful. The only issue we had was the cleanliness of the unit which was absolutely terrible. You need to send a manager in to review the work of the cleaners as the unit was disgusting. The showers were covered in mould including pink mould that is recent, there was hair and dust all over the unit and the floor of the kitchen needed a 5 min scrub to remove all of the built up grime. Very off putting to be honest. If work hadn't have paid we would have left after the first night as it was really gross.

Dear Brenton, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the BreakFree Capital Tower Canberra. I am sorry to hear that aside from the staff, your experience did not meet your expectations. At BreakFree, we strive to provide a superior service experience for every customer; therefore your feedback is very important to us. I will discuss with the Housekeeping team the cleanliness issues you reported and get them to rectify immediately. My apologies that the cleanliness fell short of our usual standards. Thank you again for sharing your feedback with us, and I hope we can get a second chance to change your perception of our property in the future. Kind Regards, Dixie

Disappointing accommodation. Great views!

Willi Families - 14/03/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

We stayed at Capital Towers for a family birthday get together. It was a two bedroom apartment 805. Avoid this apartment when booking. It is tired and worn out. There is nothing good about it apart from the view.

Great space but poor quality of bedding

J. Friends - 10/03/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

We stayed in the three bedroom apartment, which was a great size and had a lot of space, however the room itself was a bit disappointing. The pillows were rock hard and almost impossible to sleep on, the rooms overheated easily causing a really bad nights sleep. The room did have aircon, which was a nice touch, but it didn't spread through the apartment enough. Also the stovetop wouldn't turn on, but we were only there for a night so it wasn't much of an inconvenience. Overall, I probably wouldn't book again.

Good location, beautiful view

Anonymous Families - 10/03/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

I was very happy with our stay in the two bedroom apartment. It was clean, spacious and had the most beautiful view of trees and the lake. There is a lot of traffic on the freeway outside but it was white noise and did not disturb me. The staff at reception were also very helpful. Good location, walking distance to the bridge across the lake, or to the shops and transport at civic. Would stay again.
