Hotels near Charles Sturt University, Barton

Totally recommend Golden Age Motor Inn Queanbeyan East, rooms are spacious with interesting well balanced decor, all facilities including cutlery & a microwave, excellent WiFi, great shower with large modern head, comfy, quiet surroundings all at a budget price and better value than some ‘name’ competitors and Annemarie on the front desk is ‘Terrific’ 👍 Max & Denise (retired professionals)

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.

The hotel is located right near a row of shops, and it's just a short drive away from the city. There is onsite parking for $12 a day, and you will be able to enter and exit the carpark as many times as you like. The staff were extremely helpful with requests and very friendly. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone planning on visiting Canberra.

My kids (young teenagers) and I stayed here for two nights over the school holidays. The one bedroom aprtment was very clean and well presented. We paid the surcharge for a third person and unfortunately, a third person was not catered for. We had to request beddinng and then (too late/after Reception had closed), realised we did not have athird towel. No spare bedding was provided in the room. The fold out couch was super lumpy and prety unbearable, luckily my youngest is small and could sleep on the couch itself. Otherwise - it was very warm (so good on two very, very cold nights). It is right over a bus terminal, so would have been slightly loud if you were opening the doors/using the balcony. Close to shops, cafes etc which was convenient. Free parking underneath. Overall, pretty good. I just felt a bit annoyed about being charged $55 extra for a third person and then not actually receiving anything at all for that charge.

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.

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.
