We usually stay at the Diplomat when in Canberra but thought we would try something different this time. Our stay at the Crowne was disappointing and we will not be staying again. The Crowne is ageing rapidly and quickly becoming 2-3 star accommodation. The CBD location is good. Parking is limited and difficult - unbelievably at extra cost and somewhat of a lottery as to whether a spot is available. The fit-out is tired and outdated. It feels grubby. The bathrooms have obviously never been updated since being installed 30-odd years ago. No Netflix, etc??? The block-out window blinds are effective though. Carpet needs replacement, new paintwork required, decor is dated. Breakfast buffet was good and a decent range of options were available - the Crowne exceeds the Diplomat on this offering. The ground/lobby common areas were a good standard. No common coffee machine for after hours - it's 2024?!? Anyway, it's past time to get the place in order - hire a consultant if necessary. You are trading on past performance that has long since expired.

Placed us on the first floor, no privacy whatsoever. If they specified this on our purchase, we would not choose it. Not happy. Renovation is also out of date, and bedding is old. We don’t think it is a four stars hotel as they advertised, it is a three stars hotel at the most.

Comfortable bed, easy parking. Bathroom could do with a makeover. Service to rooms was slow- out all morning and had to ask for room to be serviced- despite notice on door. A decent size mug for tea/ coffee would be a bonus.

The Sunday breakfast was diabolical , our coffee order was lost in a "glitch" , we never received our omlette , the soft poached eggs were hard . Yes it was busy , but why offer services if you cant do them ? . Is it to keep your star ratings ?.

Located next to the Convention Centre is its biggest plus. The hotel design is from a bygone era, the hotel bar and restaurant are just depressing. But it is clean and safe.

Staff is the best there ! Very professional , accommodating, kind and lovely!! Would do anything for you. Been there many times! Restaurant is great. Parking should be free for guest or a reduced fee (it’s actually $30 a night which is too expensive when you stay a few nights )or should less like $15 for guests staying there. Location is perfect ! Walking distance (200m) to major shopping mall inc. Myer & David jones, Zara, H&M as well as many, many, shops/top boutiques with lots on of lovely cafes . Highly recommend Crowne Plaza Canberra for a stay - I wouldn’t stay anywhere else.

Great stay for families
We stayed for 4 nights in the winter school holidays. The hotel is large and has big common areas with tables and seating. The room had 2 double beds (not queen) which were comfortable, a desk and a chair, and a single seat. Not big, but fine with two small children. The stay included buffet breakfast for 2, and kids under 5 were free. An extra $12 a day for a 7yo. The breakfast was the highlight of the hotel for the kids. Plenty of food to choose from. The location is excellent, with so many shops and restaurants within walking distance.
