very nice and clean hotel, near shopping centre, just not easy to find car parking around the hotel, so need to park in the shopping centre and pay for it then walk to the hotel.

This is a very nice hotel and is definitely as advertised considering it was one of the cheaper options right in the heart of the Canberra CBD. We parked in the Canberra centre which is a shopping centre and it was a little bit of a walk -about two blocks with our luggage, but not too bad. The only thing to look out for is that you can stay with your pet (or maybe just dogs?) in some of the rooms so if you don’t want a pet room, in case you are allergic, you should ensure that you are not assigned a pet room. Our room was very clean, but it did have a faint smell of dog.

We enjoyed a lovely 2-night stay at Sebel Canberra Civic. We were greeted very warmly by the staff and were grateful to accept a later checkout on our final morning. The cooking facilities were fantastic and the room was very spacious. You were not far from shops with plenty of restaurants around. We will gladly return in the future when we next return to Canberra.

The hotel was well placed, next to shopping centre and restaurants. Parking can be a challenge but we found no issues parking nearby on the street. The mattress was not as firm as we'd liked. Overall good place to stay.

The Sebel is a great place to stay. It’s right in town and at close proximity to shops, library, restaurants and bus stop.Excellent staff and housekeeping.However,there is a safety hazard in the rooms with a step at the door leading to the bathrooms. A few times we stripped in the night and when I called front desk to check if there is another room to move in,we were told that all the rooms are the same. This is the only problem which makes me think of not returning next time to this beautiful place.

Perfect Location, Really Comfortable Stay

We stayed for three nights as part of a family holiday. The hotel is located in an ideal location, close to shops and restaurants. The family room was comfortable, although the beds were somewhat hard. Most amenities were provided and to a good quality. Whilst there is no on-site parking, check-in staff were really helpful is providing suggestions.

This hotel has a very difficult parking situation. The cost was much more than the home described and expected. We had a very long walk to reach our car. That was the most challenging part of our stay.

The room was equipped with everything we needed (although, had to ask for a 2nd wine glass as there was only one), it was quiet, with a very comfortable bed, lovely clean bathroom & a wonderful Sri Lankan restaurant just across the road If there was parking on site I would have given it 5 stars - however, we found a park on the street a block away.
