The room was spacious and had all the amenities required. The bathroom is luxurious and has very nice toiletries supplied. The shower was large with good water pressure. Nice touch to have a Nespresso coffee capsule machine with capsules and some lovely T2 tea sachets. Great to have a seating area with table and chairs. The bed was very comfortable with huge pillows to prop yourself up with. The wardrobe had a good size ironing board and decent iron which I used. Nice to have the robe supplied (only one?) but we didn't need it in Summer. Also the two sets of slipper scuffs but didn't need them as the carpet is so luxurious. Ditto the hallway carpet out in the corridor - outstandingly plush and makes the whole area so quiet. Double curtains at the large window area contribute to a feeling of calmness and effective light blocking. The room lighting also very good. Dining options were extensive though as it was New Year's Eve many places were only offering set menus. The Ostani restaurant in the hotel ground floor area was excellent for casual dining and drinks. We really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The Pool, Gym and Spa facility is excellent. Loved the pool along with steam room and sauna for a way to relax after travelling. Lovely staff there and also the front of house reception staff were really helpful regarding check in, check out and parking. As the hotel had everything we needed we didn't need to leave the carpark until our departure. Love the fact parking is included in the room price.

The bathroom towels were on the thin side and only one face wash cloth was supplied (this is something I notice all hotels do). The digital only compendium was a little hard to navigate at first. Found the wifi details after alot of menu searching.

We had a lovely 6 night stay with a family of five. The room was very comfortable and it was very useful having a kitchenette with a dishwasher and washer/dryer. We even enjoyed sitting out on the balcony despite some construction noise from across the street.

There were dirty dishes outside our room when we arrived and it wasn't uncommon to see this in the corridors during our stay. It was a bit odd that the Ipads for room service didn't charge properly in their stations. Housekeeping came early one day just after 9am, then didn't come back when we vacated the room at midday.

Beautiful modern property with large and luxurious rooms. The location is fantastic for visiting some of Canberra’s main attractions including the NGA and Questacon. The staff were fantastic and clearly well-trained. The pool and gym area is excellent. And the free parking was the cherry on top. We didn’t eat in, but if you don’t feel like venturing out the options all looked great. It would be hard to find a better value family stay in non-Parliament periods than Realm.

Staff were great at communicating and putting my bags into my room, letting me know when room was available and making room available early for me. Suite was fabulous, including balcony and a good bath to have a soak in. Kitchenette was useful, TV and available movies was setup better than in some other hotels...

Some of the shower could do with some maintenance or cleaning - looking slightly older. USB charging points would have been handy. More cups in the kitchen would have been good.

Even though I walked in wearing a tracksuit set and looking like a hot mess when I checked in I was greeted with such professionalism and kindness from the check in/reception team. Most comfortable bed I've ever slept in and was close to everything I needed to go to in the city

The ipad thing in our room looked quite old and didn't charge (not even sure what it is for), it would have been nice to have menus/in room options for the restaurants within the hotel

Thank you for making our day special I like the room and the location

Restaurant staff was very rude and ignoring we’ve been there for breakfast and looking on menu the server didn’t ask anything table was dirty so I’ve asked her to clean it she said order first and then she’ll clean I’ve told her we’re still deciding what to order she just left and didn’t came back so I’ve to go to the host desk to place my order and then there was no one to check

I was in Canberra for work and decided to extend my stay for a day. My husband met me there and we figured we would some quality time together. The bed was the best part. We felt like we were sleeping on a cloud it was so comfortable. The restaurant Louis was also wonderful and the food absolutely incredible! Would highly recommend this hotel.

The only negative thing was that someone walked into our room to check if the previous booking had taken anything from the mini bar. The person knocked and I was in the bathroom unable to open the door and when I clearly didn’t open the door he walked in anyway. However, apart from this everything else was amazing!

We liked the size of the room and facilities including small kitchen. The bed was comfortable.

The shower leaked on to the floor so you had to angle the shower head to wall. It needs a plastic strip there to stop the water from escaping. Just also concerned that there is no flyscreens on the push out windows. A small child could fall out. We all know kids like to climb. That worried me the most.

The staff are very polite, friendly and informative. The hotel itself was lovely and our room was so spacious, it was like a little unit! The bar, the restaurant and room service were exactly what we needed.

It was a bit further out than I realised from the things we wanted to do there. I was hoping the attractions we were interested in were within walking distance so we could have some drinks and not have to worry about driving.

The special room rate ( including breakfasts and underground carpark (free)). The staff in the restaurant were so friendly and accommodating. the breakfast and dinner menus were magnificent and affordable. Also having Spring water and Still water on tap to fill their caffès as need be a bonus. The bar staff also excellent.

Though this can’t be helped renovations of the adjoining bar next to the restaurant could have been better orchestrated that Jack hammering could have started after the breakfast times ( started at 7.45am onwards), which meant all windows were closed and outside dining only for the deaf.
