  Sucio, mal mantenido. No vaya.

  Elegimos el Adina por la excelente experiencia tenida en Alemania. Lamentamos esta decisión ni bien vimos el departamento que nos asignaron en este Adina. Sucio, la alfombra manchada, los electrodomésticos viejos y sucios, las toallas del baño manchadas de sangre, el jacuzzi de la ducha sin limpieza. La ventana de la segunda habitación que daba al pasillo no se podía cerrar, ni trabar lo que hacia inseguro dejar cosas dentro del apartamento. Pedimos cambio de apartamento y se nos ofreció otro en iguales condiciones, con lo cual al ser tarde y al estar prepaga la noche tuvimos que quedarnos. Sumamente incómodo, con un solo aire acondicionado en la habitación principal lo que hacia sumamente caluroso estar en los otros ambientes. Las cortinas descolgadas, sucias tampoco podían cerrarse. La ubicación es buena, pero no resulta suficiente para elegirlo.

  Needs a revamp

  It was ok, room was clean but dated, it needed a few repairs, leaking dishwasher, blown light globe which were reported and fixed promptly. Very noisey with an outside balcony. Was close to restaurants but maybe better value and more modern elsewhere

  Spacious

  The room was clean and had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable, but unfortunately no spare or extra pillows. The bathrooms were clean but are showing age. Tv had limited stations. Pool was lovely. The staff were friendly and professional. Its a great location to Canberra centre. Would definitely stay here again.

  Find somewhere else - there's better for less money

  This was booked by someone else, so I didn't read reviews before the stay. I'll surely be letting them know not to use this hotel again. The issues started before we even got inside. At the parking garage, you need to use a key fob or press the button to speak with reception. Obviously we had no key fob yet, so pressed the button - however, the speaker was extremely quiet and when coupled with the noise coming through surrounding pipes neither I nor reception could hear each other. Thankfully they buzzed us in anyway. Car parking is tight and there's no logic to where hotel guests and residents parking is labelled so it's hard to find a car park. We checked in and headed up to our 8th floor apartment. It was underwhelming to say the least - cracked tiles in the bathrooms and kitchen, a very slap-dash paint job that was peeling and cracking everywhere, grotty marks on every surface including the ceiling, even a food or drink splash on the wall near the dining table. The laundry cupboard located in the second bathroom had lint and dust all over the trough. The kitchen cabinets are cheap and worn along the edges, the dishwasher and oven doors had dirt/grease in every crack, and we couldn't find any cutlery - on asking reception we were advised to check the dishwasher, the cleaners aren't unpacking the dishwashers so as to avoid handling clean dishes because of Covid, which is laughable considering the state of the rest of the apartment. Possibly a good thing though, seeing as the drawers were dirty and full of crumbs. The balcony looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a long while, and the table was covered in paint splatters. The second room is so small you can't fully open the door past the bed, and there was a weird hole with a screw in it in the wall. The lounge furniture is incredibly uncomfortable and awkward, and there's no chair specific to the desk, forcing you to use a dining chair which is far too low for the desk. The air conditioner whined so loudly I was worried it would take off. Despite all this, it was only a one night booking so we sucked it up, figuring we only have to sleep here. Except - don't stay here if you want to actually sleep. The walls are paper thin and the windows don't seal well, and it seemed every water pipe in the building was routed through our wall as they hummed and gurgled on and off all night. Admittedly it was a Saturday night, so the night life was abundant but you don't expect to be able to hear a conversation word for word from 8 storeys up. It was almost as if the shape of the building outside my window worked like an amplifier - I swear, it would have been quieter to pop a swag in the middle of Northbourne Avenue. And don't rely on having a shower to wake you up - as other have said in their reviews, the shower head is fixed and points into the corner of the shower, the only way to shower in it is to have the tap only half on, so you're showering in dribbles - on full flow you can't even get in without spraying the rest of the room. To top it off, the condition of it wasn't any better than the rest of the apartment - the hot/cold label was missing, the soap holder is chipped and worn, and I had the delightful experience of finding someone else's leftover shard of soap with my foot. While I realise the hotel can't control noise outside, I've stayed in many apartments on busy roads and above busy evening strips and not heard a peep - the issue is obviously the build quality. And I've stayed in budget fleabag motels that were cleaner and better appointed than this apartment. I'd like to believe this apartment was an anomaly but the reviews say otherwise. I do have pictures, but unfortunately there's an error when I try to upload them. In summary, if you're a party animal with money to burn who just wants a base for the night, go ahead and book here. But if you're the kind of person who values their health and would prefer to drive home on more than 3 hours sleep, find somewhere else.

  Very disappointed

  I stayed here with my family. The hotel is very run down. Inside the rooms are very dated, cracked walls, the window seals need to be replaced. There was constant cold air coming from the windows. This allowed cigarette smoke to come into the main bedroom where my baby was sleeping. My kids couldnt handle the smell of smoke. Central location but very loud at night. The pillows were ridiculous, they were either way too high or way too low. There was no cutlery, even though there was 2 plates, 2 bowls and 2 short glasses & 2 wine glasses. Even though the booking was for 4 people + 1 baby.
