Hotels near Australian Federal Police College, Barton

Nice leafy quiet street. Close to light rail. Good secure parking. Reception staff efficient. You can walk to Dickson or Civic if you have a spare 20 mins. Room we had was quite small (especially the shower) so not good for larger people. Beds comfy, but we did not like the pillows (there was only one option). Limited facilities (café downstairs seemed to only make coffee). But as we chose it for its price, quietness and location it met our needs well and overall we would stay again.

I had to attend a funeral in Canberra and a friend recommended this YMCA (Leumeah Lodge) in suburb of Nicholls, handy to that side of the city off the Barton Highway. This accommodation is very new. If your GPS is old, then No. 48 is not on it! It is located opposite McDonalds and behind KFC. It is lovely, spotless, nicely appointed with very helpful, friendly Reception staff. There are 58 (differing) and all non-smoking, rooms to suit most, including bunkbed rooms used by school groups. As a single, I chose the ”Queen” perfectly adequate for a couple - the room, bathroom and shower all spacious, with toiletries and hair dryer provided; the double bed was very comfortable. Air Conditioning and WiFi available with a wall mounted TV, tea/coffee bags & a kettle. There are dining facilities only for Groups but you can order a Breakfast Box the night before from Reception. Parking is available. This Lodge is far superior to many hotels I've stayed in and the cost far less! It was amazingly quiet overnight (a Thursday). I recommend this accommodation.

One of the better motels we've stayed in. We had a ground floor queen room which was absolutely spotless, well appointed and had with a very comfortable bed. Everything worked and our room was made up daily. Originally, we were looking at other motels in Canberra itself but decided on Hamilton's based on price, reviews and proximity to the city. Other motels were more expensive and some were even charging overnight parking. Though this motel is on a main road we didn't hear the traffic at night. Hamilton's would be our first choice when visiting Canberra region again.

We booked in advance a family room with a king bed and two bunks. Upon arrival we were given a room that had two double beds, the configuration we booked was not available. The room stunk of smoke and was just so smelly we couldn’t stay in it. We asked management that we have the room we booked and paid for. They stated that they were unable to provide us the room we booked as there were no free rooms as a youth conference was on at this time as well and all rooms were taken. We did manage to get the disabled room after negotiation and were delighted it didn’t stink. But the problems kept appearing.. the taps in the shower fell off the wall when you had a shower, the bathroom flooded every time we showered, so my husband made an essential towel drainage solution so we could shower without flooding the bathroom. Youth conference participants turned there music on at midnight and again at 6am, next door which we could clearly hear the walls were not sound proof and the curtains had holes in them.. The overall feel I got was one of total neglect. The gardens were overgrown, paint was peeling off the outdoor and indoor spaces and in general it was a very depressing place to stay. Certainly would not ever pay for this experience again! As it was Easter nothing else was available so we put up with it but I would never return and would not recommend anyone book at this hotel unless you are absolutely desperate.

My husband and I stayed here last week. I contacted them with my concerns before I wrote this but heard nothing. The bed was so firm/hard! that we both had trouble sleeping it was so uncomfortable and hurting our hips. There was an alleged quilt/doona on the bed which almost had some filling i.e. a casing that was virtually empty, so not at all warm. There was only one spare blanket in the cupboard. Asked the cleaner for another blanket next morning, and went shopping for a mattress topper to soften the bed. ( We had already paid for the following 4 nights. Sadly we won't be staying here next time we visit the area. Also the bbq advertised needs feeding dollars. Remote check in so nobody ever onsite for any problems.

Unlike the Park Hyatt in Shanghai, this building is probably only five or six floors tall. It existed a hundred years ago. It looks ordinary from the outside, but it has a very classic feel inside. The overall atmosphere is that everything is just right. low key. The diplomat suite I stayed in had a beautiful stepped deep-soaking bathtub in the bathroom, just like Ctrip's illustration. The design of the living room is very similar to the overall tone of the hotel. Although it looks very old, the design is still relevant today and is very distinctive. Some hotels are very new, such as the Ritz-Carlton in Melbourne, where you can experience the latest facilities. Some hotels, such as the Park Hyatt, have a very classic interior decoration style, giving people the feeling that they will never be outdated and will last forever. Damn it, even if in another 50 years, newer facilities and more design styles come out, this hotel will still have its own attractions. After talking about these good things, let me talk about some annoying things about this hotel. The smell on the balcony is really outrageous. I don’t know where the smell comes from. It’s neither the smell of the lawn outside nor the smell of the room. The two sofas are really dirty. I don’t want to sit on them. I suggest Don't sit down either. Moreover, the balcony is very narrow and short, which gives people a very cramped feeling and is very uncomfortable. There is no main light in the bedroom, only three small table lamps, which are very dim when they are all turned on, which is simply **. Also, when I turned on the light at night, three or four insects began to circle around the light. The most outrageous thing is that I stayed for three days and two nights. I met probably at least 20 staff members. Only one person smiled at us. The other people felt like robots. When they saw people, they just didn't see them. I walked by expressionlessly, and some people even looked at me as if they had seen a ghost, and their eyes suddenly became serious. I thought, am I just an ordinary adult male who dresses normally and looks normal? I'm thinking that sometimes the cleaners at Home Inn will greet you with a smile when they see you and are in a good mood, right? Then I saw a hotel waiter very enthusiastically leading a female customer who looked like a local to press the elevator. Haha, I will reserve my opinion on whether there is racial discrimination. What I saw is not complete, not good. Nonsense, but if you want Park Hyatt-level service, I hope you can take a shot after reading this article and not be too disappointed. In addition, I have seen many people say that Australian hotels have no service. Every waiter I met at the Ritz-Carlton in Melbourne greeted me with a smile, so I won’t say more. All in all, the hotel as a whole has its own characteristics, but the service is really hard to describe, at least that's what I experienced. I hope you can get better service. This is indeed the best hotel among Canberra hotels. There are no other options. The price is sometimes about one-fifth of the Sydney Park Hyatt. The price is definitely cheaper than other Park Hyatts, but I I suggest you not to have too high expectations of it, at least in terms of service.
