From the minute my colleagues and I arrived, we recieved a warm greeting and a swift checkin. The room amenities were excelllent and clean and the hotel itself is only a short drive from the city center. Breakfast the next morning was excellent and the rustique hotel's charm really came out in the morning sun. All in all definately worth... More

I arrived for a conference, tired and unwell from Sydney to find I had no room despite booking and paying in full 10 weeks earlier.... was sent across town to an inferior hotel, but promised an upgrade on my return the next day, free brekky and a taxi to the new destination. I was not happy - my rest time... More

We were really happy and comfortable at the Mecure Canberra. They even upgraded us for no extra charge. The service was great. Nothing was too much trouble. The hotel was like going back in history and the surroundings were lovely. Would stay here again without a doubt, actually we will be staying here on our return from Perisher on 20th... More

Our group of 5 adults decided to spend the night in Canberra so we could attend the Turner from the Tate exhibition and also spend time at the Australian War Memorial.

This is a beautiful historic hotel and remembered by many as the Ohlins Hotel, but now under the Mercure brand. The building is fantastic, has great character and ambience. What a shame they didn't even have the fire alight on a frigid winter Canberra night to take advantage of its wonderful nature features. Breakfast was great and outlook from dining... More

Overall a very good stay; I had a split level room with the bed and ensuite upstairs which gave plenty of room downstairs.The restaurant was good for dinner, though a limited menu. Only issue was that there was a long wait for taxis when it was raining, maybe that is mostly to do with Canberra taxis, but I have heard... More

We had a 2 night stay at Mercure, mid-week. We arrived in the evening, after a long drive from Melbourne and were immediately given an upgrade to a 1 bedroom apartment, which was quite comfortable. It was very convenient to have a bistro at the hotel, as we needed a quick meal. They serve meals at the hotel restaurant (breakfast... More

We visit this place quite often, however on this visit it was poor. Rooms a great. Had to wait in a line for breakfast, when seated had no plates, food was not ready and when it came out it was Luke warm. Dinner in the Bristro was poor, the pork belly cooked twice was burnt and the potatoes were cold... More

Food in bistro very average, room noisy reception was close to our room and staff were laughing and talking very loudly till 11pm keeping us awake. Long queues for breakfast. Room was small but clean and comfortable. Location walking distance to CBD
