Located close to landmarks, a short 10min walk to Parliament House or 25mins to the National Gallery of Australia. Friendly and helpful staff, small but very clean / sleek rooms. Beautiful lounge on L5 and L6 has a bar (10am -10pm) with a few fireplaces ! I’ll definitely be back there again on my next Canberra visit

A great little property, the facilities were fantastic including the nice room layout and the tea/coffee facilities. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. The location is close to the parliamentary triangle which made it easy to get around southern Canberra.

The experience with extra charges has been really disappointing. Expedia Booking rules didn’t clearly mention anything about any extra charges. And they charged me exorbitant prices for the snacks and drinks. I will not recommend this hotel to any of my friends.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Little National Hotel - Canberra. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. The room was small but layout excellent, and had a stunning view. The amenities were top-notch, specially the lounge area - what a great place to work or relax after work ! I highly recommend this hotel.
