Both beds were extremely comfortable and the pillows were of high quality, my co guest and I both had wonderful sleep both of the nights we stayed there. Not only were the bedrooms warm and inviting, but the joint living, dining and lounge room meant that it felt as comfortable as staying in your own home. It didn’t feel like a hotel, but was more akin to a comforting holiday home. The amenities were all wonderful and clean, both showers had excellent water pressure, and each bathroom came with complimentary shower care products, such as conditioner, shampoo and body wash. Myself and my co guest thoroughly enjoyed the easy access to both swimming pool and gym. We were pleasantly surprised that there were changing rooms and showers to accomodate guests, which meant no unnecessary or uncomfortable trip back to our rooms to get changed. Best of all was the view at night, the balcony and bedrooms offered spectacular views of the city. It was serene and peaceful to eat our delivery food on the balcony during dinner time, made even easier by the fact so many restaurants and cafés are close by. The staff were always lovely no matter the time of day. and were willing to go out of their way to meet our needs. They were very accomodating to my co guest who has autism, and were never judgemental or unkind. I will definitely be visiting again. Thank you.

Parking was a nightmare travelling solo with a child. Only 60 spots for over 200 rooms. You cant pre book and theres no priority system, if you dont arrive at 10am you wont get parking. I wasnt forewarned of this and on arrival with a small child I then had to spend over an hour trying to sort out parking. The pre arrival email simply stated parking is available on site which is not a true reflection.

The location is great, at the edge of Civic so can walk to most places. Great eateries, shops, theatre all near by. Self contained and very well set out, just enough room in mini suite, 1 bedroom for two people. Staff were very helpful especially at check in, I was only able to book parking for the last two nights of my two night stay but Yar at reception helped out by letting me into the car park to unpack my car as I was traveling with my young grandson and wouldn't have been able to walk back and forth from another car park. The room was lovely, even opening windows to let in some fresh air, great kitchen area, small but had everything needed for two. Coffee machine was a bonus, nice and fresh smell to the room too. Secured building and a perfect short stay.

My room card holder said I had an 11am check out time. At about 10:25 I received a call from reception asking if I needed more time to check out. I explained the time on my card holder and said I would be leaving soon. About 10-15 minutes later hotel staff knocked on my door asking if I was ready to leave. I showed my card holder that clearly said my check out time was 11am. He nodded by didn't look impressed. I left a few minutes later and noted to the woman when checking out the time on my card holder and explained that someone may have made a mistake but that is what my card holder and I showed this to her. She was polite and said that was ok.

Bed was super comfy. Kitchen fully equipped. Apartment clean if not rather sterile.

On Booking.com the Meriton indicated that on-site parking was included. Directly under 'Most popular facilities' it read 'Indoor swimming pool' - 'Private parking' - Free Wifi' - 'Family Rooms' etc. But the day before we were informed by email that there would be a $30 nightly fee for parking.

It was clean and easily accessible. The staff were friendly and helpful. Parking was available.

The facilities were too modern; everything relies on your technical ability and apps. (Not so good for older customers) The TV works off your computer apps and you have channels downloaded on you having an account with a service different apps offered which offers you access through your network. It was not even possible to connect to the news or basic channels. The bed and pillow were too hard and the towels were too hard.

Staff are extremely friendly. Great location. Ideally located for Central shopping and Culinary food restaurants, all within a comfortable walking distance. 15 minute drive from Harris Food market, D.F.O outlet & airport. All local places of interests for tourism purposes, are situated within a 15 minute km radius drive. (Checkin-into the property prior to trying to park your car.) No off road 15 minute parking is available prior to checkin - for quick check-in purposes. You'll be required to park at the front entrance to the property on the actual footpath at the Meriton. There are 'NO' signs to indicate where you should park prior to check-in. So, use your discretion, as no entry is permitted until you have checked-in for parking. Your car once parked will be parked securely. Limited parking is available. Pre-book your car parking bay when you arrange your booking to stay. My husband and I both enjoyed our 6 night stay at this property as we ventured about to visit central Canberra tourist attractions throughout our stay. We stayed in a one bedroom apartment. The pool is also a lovely area to indulge and awaken your senses.

The bed was suuper comfy and the whole room was really spacious. Balcony was a good feature and the room was equipped with anything you could need. Staff were lovely.

The parking situation was a bit weird, there was only limited spots available and even if you did pay to use the car park that didn’t guarantee you a car spot. I arrived back to my room late and there was no car spots available to me so I parked in one of the spots allotted for electric cars to charge.

Location. Didn't need a car to get around Canberra city. Walking distance to Floriade.

Limited parking. Did not realise at the time I booked that I would also need to reserve a parking bay. Lifts were not working very well at this time due to the building renovations. However, once all renovations are completed the hotel will be great.

Everything was so modern and clean.

We missed out out the first night with parking our car in the Meriton car park. Which we then had to park our cark in Wilson’s car park across the road overnight and got charged $65.00 outrageous!! So the Merrion need more car parks.

The room was very clean and comfortable, we slept well on the bed. The location is very good as it a short walk to the shops and food. You can park under the building provided they have a space available. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We would stay there again.

The worst part of the stay was the terrible access to watch movies or shows. They use a remote website that streams movies/etc from your phone. Every time you want to watch something, you have to go through this login process using a QR code. It was terribly clunky and slow to setup. Additionally, the instructions were confusing. I am an IT professional and it annoyed me.
