This place is way over priced for what you get. The location is fantastic, walking distance from the city centre but that's the only positive. Parking is an additional $15 a day not inclusive of the overall fee for the room. The wifi is sooooo slow. You can upgrade for an additional $10 a day. Everything about this place involves additional fees that you're not made aware of when you book. The facilities are also dated. The bathrooms were old and the not very clean. The gym is small with minor equipment. The staff are friendly but not overly helpful. I would not go back here.
Location is great. There is 24/7 mc Donalds downstairs.its very close to the mall, eatouts and shops. It has paid parking facility as well. The rooms were spacious, neat and clean. The only bad experience I had was the noise level in the night from late night party goers in the streets. I did not get time to use the pool but it looked neat and clean. Overall a reasonably priced place, especially if you are in large groups.
Centrally located in the heart of Canberra
Easy 5 -10 minute walk to shopping mall movie theatre and restaurants. Parliamentary zone Aust War Memorial and Commonwealth park are roughly a 10 minutes drive from here.
Be aware there is no free parking in Canberra ! Hotel does provide parking at $ 15 per night. Two bedroom apartment was comfortable and has kitchen with all mod cons and two bathrooms ( one of which has its own laundry facilities ).
Large comfortable 2 bedroom &bathroom unit central to everything in the ACT. Easy to get around..shopping mall and restaurants are a 5 minute walk.
Only downside was that the pool was being repaired and was not available for use. Aside from that it was an enjoyable and comfortable stay
The check-in process was smooth. The apartment is located outside of the air-conditioning access door, therefore at night when we got back , we noticed there are plenty of bugs and mosquitoes. I think the Mgnt should supply the insects repellent spray in each unit.
Booked this hotel because it advertised a pool, spa and sauna. The kids were very excited.
We arrived to find these facilities were out of use and had been so for 4 months already.
The website still shows photos and descriptions of the pool and we were not advised at any point that it was closed. We were not even advised at check in. I asked at reception about compensation and was told that I would need to speak to a manger, but she was not available.
At checkout we were 15 mins late and were called to notify us we'd missed the check out. We advised we were packing up. 5 mins later, another call, and again every 5 -10 minutes and they sent someone out to extract us at 11:45, It was difficult to pack our belongings and 2 children and leave, when we kept a having to answer the phone.
Internet was slow and took a phone call to get it to work (to an outside provider)
All in all not a great experience, and I'm not one to complain, 1 or 2 things you let go, but add it all up and it was worth a post.
Now that I think about it we arrived late for check in on the Friday night and not sure if it's a dodger area but the double glass doors were locked from the outside, so it made a few trips back to the car with sleeping children hard at 11 pm in the cold waiting for someone to come and open it.. we we're not the only ones, you would think they would just leave them open until everyone had checked in.
Location is great, right next to the mall and main restaurant street. Rooms are nice and spacious but the smaller room in our 2 bed room apartment had no heating, which is ridiculous given sub zero temperatures in Canberra during winters. They also need to look into upkeep and refurbishment of the lobbies and apartments.
Good location and facilities. Old building and they charge extra for parking.
Basic service, old appliances, has that old building mould smell. The internet is horrible, not only do they only let you connect 2 devices, it also doesn't work. It's only 500kbps, which is fast enough to load a piece of text if you wait half an hour. It has to be at least 5mbps to even be usable. They have the NERVE to make you pay for better internet even though there are plenty of places that have much better accommodation with super fast unlimited internet, included in the price, which is CHEAPER than what Medina offers.
Do. Not. Go. Here.
This apartment is not brand new, but still well maintained & good value. Its location is perfect & strategic location, right next to McDonald's, a servo (petrol station), 7-11, and within walking distance to Canberra Centre, a nice & big shopping complex.
Worst self contained accommodation ever - do NOT pay $200+ for this place! We rented an apartment for 3 nights and there were no forks, knives, bowls or saucepans in the apartment. We found salt & pepper containers, but of course, they were empty. The idea of self contained is not to have to bring everything with you? Apartments are very old, but they have done their best to modernise them - with the exception of the yellowing microwave that still has turn dials on it (I'm sure these haven't been available since the 90's) and barely heat anything up. Balconies all overlook each other. I definitely wouldn't stay here EVER again
Loved it! Rooms were huge, clean and comfortable. Staff were lovely and we really enjoyed our stay. Only down side was the pool was closed for cleaning, but at least you know they clean it.
