Little National Hotel Canberra

The hotel room and library facility is beautiful and nicely designed, great for instagram photos. Small quirks that my family enjoyed were the teapot set on the bed which highlights the aesthetic appeal of the bedroom, automated curtains, the complimentary drink vouchers, and the king size bed is very comfortable. We love the room with the mountain view hopefully we can request it again for our next visit. Something that we should have contacted the desk about was the flashing light from the fire alarm in our bedroom, not sure if the problem could have been addressed. The room service light by the door is rather bright as well in the pitch black. Another critique is that the hotel does not come with a pool despite a pool picture on the search site. The pool/gym/bar is not located within the hotel itself and located 2min walk to their other hotel chain. The pool picture can be misleading as pool access is $25 per person at the time of writing. As mentioned previously in the comment section, there is no direct lift access from the hotel lobby to the basement carpark. If feasible, it will be great if the hotel comes with EV charging Other than a few drawback, the Little National Hotel is a great weekend stay for our family. The hotel is well suited for couples and business travellers.

The Little National Hotel tries to market itself as an affordable luxurious hotel, and I can see why... however, it has a few drawbacks. In saying that, the hotel is still rather nice. The bed and the pillows are the best I have experienced from a hotel in Canberra. The small lounge/library area is a nice feature as a common area for guests to hang out or do work. The room layout also feels very spacious for such a small room with the use of mirrors and thoughtful planning. Now, the drawbacks of the hotel: Firstly, the elevator from the hotel carport doesn't serve as guest access to their hotel floor. Rather, you have to go outside and in through the main entrance to access the correct elevator. Secondly, the TV in the room didn't offer any streaming services at the time. I asked reception about this, and they said it's because they are currently in the process of changing the operating system. To me, it's a bit of a letdown when one of the main features of the room is having the TV right at the end of the bed. Thirdly, I requested a late checkout, which was approved by the hotel. However, my access card was deactivated before my aporoved leave time without me being notified. So when I loaded my car, when I went back to get my last bag, I couldn't enter my room. Would I stay here again? Possibly, but it won't be my first option when visiting Canberra.

Such a great option for the single overnight traveller. The rooms are small, but have everything you need. I read lots of reviews that the bed was super comfortable, but I found it so soft it felt like i was sinking into a marshmallow all night. If I was with my partner we would have been in a soft case of emotion. My other little niggle is whilst the blockout blinds are amazing, the light panel by the door is so bright it feels like dawn all night.
