Hotel is clearly quite new. It is located within the CBD but not so close that it is noisy and in an overly busy area. Room (2 bed apartment) was large with two bathrooms. All very clean with comfortable beds and couches. Heating worked well. Curtains were block out and noise was barely audible from the streets. Hotel staff were friendly and knowledgeable. We got room service on our first night - delivered quickly, was delicious and very reasonably priced.

Easy to check in and out. Friendly customer service and a beautiful hotel! We only stayed one night at Mantra at Northbourne and had a great time! Room was clean and spacious. Clean entrance to the reception and parking under the building. Nearby mcdonalds and petrol station and other amenities and only 10mins walk to city centre!
Will be back and recommend this place to family and friends.

We spent a week at The Ibis Tall Trees motel which is conveniently located in the Ainslie area of Canberra.
There’s a local shopping centre within easy walking distance where we bought groceries, had a meal with friends, bought some amazingly good lamingtons, refilled a prescription at the chemist, found a good book at a free book library stand, and if we had time I would have gone to one of the two hairdressing salons there.
There are two sets of dinnerware including mugs and glasses if...

As advertised, a simple room with a hand basin (bathroom not far down the hall) and a communal kitchenette. Scrupulously clean, a massive fluffy bath sheet provided, it was all I needed.

From the moment we arrived at Jamala Lodge we were impressed
The setting of the Lodge was impressive and when we walked in it was
a WOW factor
The furnishings are inviting and the staff amazing
we had our grandson with us who needed some extra attention and the staff could not have
have been more helpful
And where do we begin to describe the room experience with the huge fish tank and animals outside
The dinner was delicious and I could go on and on!!!!
Great Experence

Fantastic location and great amenities for our stay with our 8 month old. Would love it if they had a change table available in the lobby bathrooms for ease.
Our only criticisms were that the king bed is not a true king, but two singles held together by a very uncomfortable bridging plate, and that the shower drains had not been cleaned so water backed up and flooded out - we ended up cleaning the drains ourselves.
