This was my second stay at Hotel Realm. My first experience was fantastic, but this stay was even better!

The room was huge, spotless, and absolutely beautiful. I was also pleasantly surprised by the complimentary bottle of white wine, which was thoughtfully presented in an ice bucket in the room. It was such a lovely touch.

I'd like to give a special thank you to Ash at reception. When I checked in, she warmly welcomed my daughter and gave her a lovely gift bag, which made her day. When I checked out, Ash happened to serve me again, and she was just as wonderful.

Ash didn't just make me feel welcome because it was her job—she genuinely made me feel that she cared and truly wanted to help with every request. That kind of sincere hospitality is rare, and it made our stay even more memorable. My daughter absolutely adored her too!

Hotel Realm will definitely be my first choice whenever I visit Canberra again... as long as the price isn't too expensive!

I recently stayed at Hotel Realm for two nights and had a fantastic experience. The room was exceptionally clean, spacious, and thoughtfully designed. The furnishings and décor were classy and well considered, creating a comfortable and stylish atmosphere.

What really stood out was the staff, who were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with any request. Their excellent service made the stay even more enjoyable.

Overall, Hotel Realm exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and high-quality stay.

The property is very nice and I especially enjoyed how quiet the room was. Location is great. Parking on-site.

There were problems with the lifts during our stay which resulted in quite long waits. Check in staff could have been friendlier but that’s neither here nor there.

The reason for my 3 star review are the beds. They must have been very soft to start with and were very lain through. I was lying in an uncomfortable hole. The pillows were giants, which was accentuated by the bed giving in so much. I am not a heavy person.

The baby cot basically just had a wooden plank on it and our little on kept waking all night being uncomfortable as well.

Also, the room couldn’t be cooled with a/c as the temp wouldn’t go below 23.5. We opened the balcony door before bed to air but it got hot again during the night.

So all in all even though the hotel is quite nice and the room itself was well-laid out and equipped, I wouldn’t stay again due to the bed being of such poor quality.

comfortable and room was dark and quiet. Can’t wait to stay again.

We had to switch rooms due to the amount of dust on the furniture and carpet fluff on the floor, and the paint smell in the room. They moved us to an equally poor room which also had filthy windows and questionable bathroom cleanliness.

Reception did not answer the phone and did not respond to the message we left. We had to go down to the desk after waiting 40 mins for someone to come back to us.

Would never stay there again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Realm in an Executive Floor room. The room had everything needed, although Chromecast did not effectively function. Free movies were good though. Great sunrise and sunsets on the balcony. The pool and sauna were fantastic.

Booked three nights for my family in adjoining rooms for the Canberra Marathon - amazing rooms, great staff that assisted us with checking in, amazing restaurants and food options in the hotel and surrounding area, and great location as a base for marathon weekend. Highly recommended.

Excellent hotel, fantastic room, great staff, home away from home.
One big issue: lift getting to my third floor room was a pain. Seemed only 1 lift was working on my room side and you could be waiting ages for it. Was advised there wasn’t any stair options so you’re stuck with this.
There’s lifts on the other side which I also got to use because on one of my days, lift stopped working altogether.

That being said, I had an amazing time in Canberra and the hotel was part of the reason for my great trip so I would 100% recommend and I’ll be back

This is a fantastic property. Modern and clean, the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the hotel is well located. The on-site gym is great if small, and it is so. I’ve having several restaurants either on property or in proximity. Would love to stay again and would highly recommend for anyone looking for a hotel in Canberra near the National Circuit!

Convenient location. Probably the most comfortable beds in Canberra.
Don’t stay there on a Friday or Saturday night as the noise above the pub and function rooms is terrible. Loud music until midnight. Might be quieter at the opposite end of the building. Apartments across the road much quieter.

Good quality 4 star hotel, excellent location, free parking and breakfast but the room and the pool are not 5 star. The promotional photography on the website and marketing saying this is the premier 5 star hotel in canberra sets a very high expectation expecting a W hotel/ shangrila or intercontinental but not up to that standard

My room had no shower gel, air vents are full of dust, and no tv remote. Air con is old, cannot set temp lower than 22. Reception / service from bibi and kuldi were warm and efficient resolved most issues.

Renovated 7-8 yrs ago based on an old hostel
Breakfast is in their main high end restaurant. Excellent decor and selection
Gym is nice but open only until 8pm
Would stay again but would not pay premium prices.

The hotel itself is very beautiful and the facilities are genuinely excellent. Unfortunately, the internal communication between staff significantly let down what could have been a great stay.

Prior to arrival, I booked and then called to request a cot and a late checkout due to travelling with a baby. I was told both were noted, with a confirmed checkout time of 12pm. When we arrived at the room, there was no cot provided.

Between 11am and 12pm, three separate staff members knocked on our door asking if we were checking out. Each time I explained that we had a baby and had arranged a late checkout. The lack of communication between staff was obvious and disruptive. Due to the repeated interruptions, our baby was woken up, and we ultimately decided to leave earlier than planned.

Additionally, we used a few minibar items that later appeared as additional charges, however this was not clearly explained to us at any point. We also requested an emailed receipt for these charges, which we never received.

While the hotel itself is lovely, the experience overall was frustrating and disappointing. For these reasons, I would be hesitant to stay here again, particularly when travelling with a young family.

Hotel Realm exceeded our expectations for the quality of the room, the cleanliness and the facilities and the location. Our included breakfast was great except that the hot food was quite cold and the staff weren't really on top of cleaning tables, replenishing glassware for drinks, or really being efficient. However, despite that, we truly loved our stay and plan to stay at Hotel Realm on our next stay in Canberra (which is regular as we have family there).

Never again. Used to be our favourite place in Canberra for a weekend escape but it has gone so downhill recently. Room wasn't cleaned, shower was old and disgusting. Asked for quiet room due to small child, was placed right above the beer garden, it was terrible room. People yelling and loud music till late. No parking when we returned from dinner, front desk just said oh in a few hours you'll be able to get a spot. So even though our room included parking they expected us to return in the early hours of the morning to park our car onsite.

The hotel was very clean. Bed was comfortable. Food was great but definitely on the more expensive side.
The only thing I will say is as we were staying 2 nights we did ask the housekeeping person outside our room when we were leaving for the day to make up our room.

She replaced towels, however our sheets had coffee on them. The bed didn't get fresh sheets. She also never replaced tissues or a toilet roll.

Should we travel to Canberra again I would still stay here.

If this hotel was marketed as a 4 star, I would have been a bit more legient but as a 5 star property, I felt it lacked in a few areas. The bathroom in particular felt grimy and there was visible dust in this space. We had requested twin beds but received a king. The food at the restaurant was basic pub fare at higher prices. Bed was incredibly comfortable though!

The room was clean on entry. But the cleaning during our stay was a bit careless. The bed was poorly .made and bathroom items carlessly placed. These little things matter

We had multiple issues with our room. TV had white spot in middle of screen and often pixelated and volume dropped out. Glasses/ mugs in room not cleaned. Only one white coffee cup on arrival they sent us another mug. Tea not restocked! Left room for 7 hours came back to horrific sewerage smell in bathroom - maintenance were called arrived half an hour later prepared to pour solution down drain and agreed how bad it smelt. Weird piece of equipment being used as toilet roll holder even though there was one on wall. Shower gel and shampoo removed from shower recess removed and discarded. Shower recess looked rusty under door. Airconditioning very warm overnight despite being set at 21.5 overnight appeared to turn off and read 23.5 in morning. Dinner in restaurant ordered calamari described as being served with aoli came smothered in chili powder- inedible-was replaced as we pointed out there was NO mention of chili on menu. Only one restaurant open throughout stay. Was good to be only charged for one nights parking.
