"Stayed 3 nights in a one bedroom serviced apartment, with free wi-fi and smart tvs. It was clean, if a bit tired - the main carpet needed shampooing. The location was convenient, with free secure parking and a light rail stop nearby. Staff were friendly and responsive. Amenities were functional, with a gymnasium, outdoor pool and coin operated laundry. The Atrium restaurant and bar provided a relaxing space for drinks, snacks or a meal. I would have preferred to be able to order individual breakfast items rather than a full or continental buffet. I would definitely stay at The Pavillion when next in Canberra."
