The room was quiet and light, and the staff were very obliging. Unfortunately: 1. There were no coffee pods, and once the staff did provide them, I found the coffee maker was broken; 2. The air conditioner was set at 18 degrees on cooling mode. Once I found the control after spending a freezing night, there were no instructions. Please provide instructions! 3. There were minimal kitchen accessories i.e. no bowls, and only one, one mug, limited cutlery and only one very large carving knife. It was very difficult to prepare a meal. Please supply a smaller, sharp knife e.g. paring knife; 4. step from bathroom into meal preparation area is a trip hazard! Please minimise the hazard by providing a bevel (e.g. timber bevel) from kitchen to bathroom; 5. the website states that television and pay movies are available. This is misleading and deceptive. The televisions are NOT connected to the internet. Only free to air channels are available. 6. One of the blinds had no chain and was stuck in the down position.

The Sebel could have been a great little spot if they could fix their parking situation. It was communicated that parking was local and convenient however it took over 1.5 hours both days of our stay to find anything. The parking recommended by hotel shuts at 7pm and you cannot remove car until next morning. I would not stay again due to this.

I recently stayed at The Sebel Canberra Civic and while the location is excellent — centrally situated and within walking distance to Canberra City Centre — my experience left much to be desired. Firstly, although the hotel appears relatively new, the cleanliness was very disappointing. I found significant dust and even trash under the bed, raising serious concerns about whether the room had been properly cleaned prior to my stay. Secondly, I encountered an issue with the parking fees. I arrived on Friday, 18 July, and asked the reception about parking. I was told that it costs $3 per day. I even followed up around 10 PM to confirm whether the parking ticket needed validation, and the staff again assured me that the rate was a flat $3 per day. However, the next day I was charged $16. Upon inquiring, I was informed of a breakdown I was never told about: 6 PM – 12 AM: $3 12 AM – 6 AM (overnight): $10 6 AM onwards: $3 This discrepancy made me feel misled and unfairly charged. Transparency around fees is a basic expectation, and it’s unacceptable that this was not clearly communicated upfront. Overall, while the location is great, the lack of cleanliness and poor service around parking information significantly impacted my stay. I hope management addresses these issues promptly.

A wonderful place to stay.

A very convenient hotel for the purposes of my visit. It was close to the shopping centre, the supermarket, the bus and restaurants. The room was clean and comfortable and had everything that I needed. The pillows were so comfortable! I would stay here again.
