Location is excellent. Hotel room is good. But they have pillows that look big but squash into nothing and mattress that is way too soft for a good nights sleep.

The Novotel is so close to the Canberra centre and a myriad of eating places. It is well located near public transport (Bus Taxi and Light rail) It has a nice pool and good food options. I stayed on the 1st level and found that the rooms could do with a bit of a freshen up. But overall we enjoyed our stay, i would stay here again.

Location to central businesses was good. Plenty of eating options. Rooms were clean. Car park was full so had to park in nearby public parking. Price for parking was descent, $10 overnight but the inconvenience of walking extra couple of blocks to collect car made it annoying for bag drop off and pick up.
