We were attending a function so we didn't actually choose this hotel. We stayed in a one bedroom suite on the 1st floor. We found it very average and definitely not 5 star. The calico tub chairs were stained and there were obvious coffee cup marks around the bath. The Apple TV paused every 3 minutes and then restarted making... More

My wife and I stayed in the Realm over a weekend. Check in was fast and friendly and the room we stayed in (suite) was spacious, very clean and had all the features you would expect of a top quality hotel. A buffet breakfast is available which, although a little limited in choice, is nice enough. The hotel complex has... More

After years of trying very average accommodation in Canberra we stayed two nights in a suite. It was quiet, thats a big plus, it is extremely well appointed, with a study area and a lounge as well as a great kitchen. The bed was one of the best we have experienced. Its a little out of the way, $18 cab... More

The accommodation is very good and nicely furnished but service during and after the stay very poor. I had a query with my account with charges being made 2 weeks after the stay. It took 5 calls to the hotel before the issue was solved.

I continue to enjoy staying at the Hotel Realm in Canberra. The hotel has a good feel, attentive staff and an up market feel. This time around, I had the opportunity to use more of the hotel's facilities including the pool, gym and restaurant (for breakfast). Stayed in a Realm Room with a spacious bed, desk and great bathroom (no... More

Not a five star by any stretch of the imagination. No fresh flowers, no decent lobby bar, basically no style. Restaurant is good though with a limited menu. Really not clean enough.

Dear JonBgc, You may be mistaking the Hotel Realm for another hotel you have stayed at - the Hotel Realm has fresh cut flowers on the reception desk, in the lobby and in each restaurant daily. The hotel bar is one of the best in Canberra and has won numerous awards. Along with being recognised for our bar and restaurants,... More

Conference rooms are cold, uninviting, uncomfortable and distracting with outside noise. Front desk staff couldn't give correct directions to conf room's location. Tables & chairs seemed second-hand and hardly worth using. Our meeting was one to forget! The hotel gave us a discount for poor service, but we would have paid for good service.

I've stayed at The Realm a number of times. I find the location really convenient. Apart from work, you can walk to shops and cafes in Manuka, to Parliament House, the Old Parliament House etc. The reservations and front office staff have always been extremely helpful, although I did have an unnecessarily long wait for a simple request (an extension...
