The rooms were exactly as described and extremely modern and well finished. The pool, gym and sauna are all really well equipped and all in great condition. It would be great to have a restaurant or room service but that was made aware to us prior to booking so definitely not a negative as we chose to stay there. Heaps of food options within walking distance around civic.

I probably wouldn't stay there again because of this!

- Yaniv (3/5): Not as expected - We really like Meriton in general, the lobby is amazing and 4 elevators make going between floors very easy The room we were in was not clean, there was rubbish still in the bin and stuff in the cupboard. When noted to the staff it was quickly taken care of. The pool and gym, which were the reason to prefer Meriton for a one-night stay, were not available (under maintenance)
- kilic (7/5): - Nice and clean, enough space for 2 people for a short stay.
We requested couple of towels and couple of coffee pods and request was acknowledged and delivered.
Happy with that. We had to request couple of bath towels, the towels provided was very small.

- Claudia (10/5): Luxury accommodation for normal rates - Super clean, most amazing bed and pillows, very spatious, felt like luxury accommodation.
- Gaynor (7/5): - Location was great as was the pool, gym and pool deck. Apartment was 816 and facing in, so no natural light even with curtains open- but if open, apartments on other 3 sides could see right in.
- Xavier (10/5): -
- Aaron (8/5): -
- Graeme (10/5): I thought I was cared for, most comfy bed ever - Everything, comfort and a relaxing place to stay at the end of a very trying time with family It was all great
- Geoff (10/5): -
- George (10/5): Above standard of many Suite locations. Well done Meriton Canberra - Overall from front of building to room the location was clean and tidy. The staff from reception to room service where friendly and greeted us professionally. The Suite was well equipped with everything we needed. The coffee pod machine was great...real coffee! Very spacious and lovely view from our room. Swimming pool etc. Modern individual key - when scanned at elevator it tells you which lift will open out of the 3 available - no guessing. Great water pressure in the shower too. As with other locations a toothbrush holder would always be a bonus. No need for toothbrushes, just a holder. Even though you are not a hotel, just some information on what we can do in Canberra would have been a bonus. Having thick glass on the sliding doors is great for noise but it was very hard to slide them open and close to the balcony. Could not find a small dish rack - small one or a half one over the sink to drain dishes would be great.
