Canberra YHA”

If, like me, you are a business traveller who hates paying fro things in a hotel room I don't use (even if I don't actually pay for them myself, then this is a good choice. Walking distance from shops, cafes and restaurants. A reasonable basic bar downstairs. The only issue I have with it is (it may have changed now advise you check) they do not store luggage. so if you arrive early, you have to carry your luggage around all day. It's basic, but clean. Canberra hotels are extortionately expensive. I've tried a few, but return to the YHA each tiime.

Had a quick trip to Canberra last June and it was our first time to stay in YHA. It is walking distance from Jolimont Center where we alighted from a Murray's bus. Very near bus stops, eateries and right around the corner of the mall. Super friendly staff at the counter, too.

Great location!”

Great location and value for money! Close walking distance to shopping centres. Everything else is good would be much better if there is an optional fan that we can use in the bedroom for the air to circulate, it's a bit warm since it's summer. Aircon is not cold enough and it seems ventilations is not working. We asked reception to put up the temperature higher which it did for a little while then back to warm again. We woke up sweaty. Just take note, it may not the same experience for everyone else, and yes I would recommend to friends and will come back again in the future.

Overall a satisfactory place to stay .”

The location is excellent . It is only a 2 minute walk to the bus stop that can provide cheap transport to the airport . booked a double room with private facilities . It was comfortable and clean and quite spacious . It's a pity there was no wardrobe or drawers .The breakfast included was quite nice , but could have been a bit more substantial . One big disappointed . The indoor pool and spa was not heated ! Not much use in winter ! Even in summer it would be difficult . Overall I enjoyed my stay .
