DO NOT STAY HERE. What a rip off, the dirtiest rooms for $145? The first thing I did (after finishing choking from the smoking rooms on the floor below) was to kill the cockroach in my room. There was more mould in the shower than clean tiles and 50L of CLR wouldn't have been enough to make the shower spray... More

Could not believe that something like this TIMEWARPED 1974 place is EXACTLY the same as it was then, with all of the non time honoured 'wrinkles'. It is hideous, you have not seen anything like this place, Cobwebs, ceilings falling down in the halls, OMG you have never seen as many cobwebs in your life! Take a look in the... More

I booked on line and looked at the web site with basic but neat rooms and even a nice pool. I was sooooooooo wrong. When we arrived there was cracks on the building, out side and broken windows with tinting peeling. As we walked in the entry way all the paint was peeling off the facia and tiles cracked. Foyer...

I am mid-40's, well travelled and not too precious. This is the only hotel that I have ever checked out of within 10 minutes of checking in. Upon entering my room it took me 5 minutes to absorb the situation, and another 5 minutes to arrange for a reservation at another hotel. Believe everything you read in the other reviews... More

THE WORST HOTEL THAT WE HAVE EVER BEEN IN !!!!!!!!. I feel sorry for the staff that have to listen to all the complaints. Everything that has been said in the previous reviews is so true but we have now lived it. This place should not be allowed to be advertised anywhere, it should be condemned!!! ! Our first room...

I stayed here because others, who should have known better, organised it. The owners do not look after the building. It smells. There is damage throughout. The, ahhh, cleaners I think they are called, seem to be on strike. I was too scared to walk around on the carpet - anywhere - without shoes. Two of the rooms were filthy... More

We decided to stay in Canberra for a night when driving to Sydney and stopped at this hotel. Luckily we asked to inspect the room before deciding to stay at here or paying any money. Unfortunately this hotel is very old and has an unpleasant smell as soon as you walk into reception which permeates throughout the hotel. There was... More

I stayed at the City Gateway Motel with 3 friends last year and it was such an awful experience, that we left after the first night and paid more money to stay somewhere cleaner and more pleasant. It's really rundown, the awning at the front of the building was damaged with holes in it, and covered up roughly with a... More
