East Hotel

I had a couple of nights at East hotel where I attended some training. This was a wonderful experience, the hotel is very nicely appointed, excellent restaurant (Agostinis) amazing showers, quiet rooms which are a nice temperature, complementary sweets and fruit, and a little kitchenette in my standard room. Staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The location is also excellent for a walk to parliament house and surrounding museums. Ubers arrived within 1 minute, and a short 10 min ride to the airport ($20 in an uber). I would definitely recommend and stay here again when next in town. Thanks to all at East for a lovely stay.

Such a nice hotel. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The hotel has a nice bar (Joe's bar) and restaurant (Agostinis) within its premises. We enjoyed a couple of meals there. The hotel was conveniently located near to the major tourist attractions (Qestacon, National Museum, etc). Would definitely stay here when we next visit Canberra.

This was my first stay at East Hotel, and while I’m unsure I’d stay here again, I would definitely return for the restaurant and bar alone. The food was a real standout — the pizzas were exceptional and hard to go past, and the bar had a great selection of drinks. It’s a fantastic spot to meet up with colleagues in a relaxed and vibrant setting. Unfortunately, the hotel experience didn’t quite match the quality of the dining. While the customer service was friendly, the room itself was a letdown. It felt consistently cold and never quite warmed up, which made it uncomfortable during a winter stay. Similarly, the water temperature only ever reached lukewarm — both morning and night. For business travellers, the lighting and desk setup weren’t ideal for extended work sessions, especially compared to other accommodation options in Canberra. On the plus side, the room was spacious and comfortable overall. I wouldn’t recommend East Hotel for winter stays, but I’d consider it again in warmer months — especially if dining is part of the plan.
