Nesuto Canberra

We stayed in a studio apartment with a fully equipped kitchen, dishwasher and washing machine, plus a little courtyard outside the lounge door. The bed was comfortable and clean. The bathroom was clean too, with a washing machine and ironing board tucked inside a cupboard, and a smaller flatscreen TV. Nesuto is right on Akuna, which made it easy to walk to Canberra centre, Glebe park and the legislative assembly. With the mess on the roads from the LRT extension to Canberra’s south side, being able to get around without public or private transport was a big plus. The place was clean, the staff friendly and helpful, and the building felt secure at night, with the doors locked and keycard access. I was happy with the stay and would return if I visit Canberra again.

The rooms run on plug-in heaters because there’s no air conditioning, and those heaters can be dangerous overnight. There was leaking water in the hallways, with stained carpets and furniture. The place is very outdated and needs renovation. Don’t trust the photos, I think they’re AI. Do yourself a favour and stay somewhere else. The closeness to the CBD doesn’t make it worth it. In Canberra, it’s best to stay on the Braddon side.

The location was excellent, close to everything, and it’s a shame because it was a lovely hotel. But the room needs updating. There were several cracks in the bathroom, and the bed wasn’t attached to the headboard. It sat on wheels that wouldn’t lock, so it wasn’t comfortable to sit up and read. They clean only every four days, which felt gross to me when there’s a whole kitchen for heating or cooking food. There were no extra garbage bags or other place to put the rubbish. I’d prefer fresh towels daily or every other day. I asked them to change the shower curtain because I thought it had mildew, though I’m not sure it did. There were no washer-dryer instructions either, and it took forever to dry the clothes.

The team were very kind when my plans changed and I could no longer stay. I wasn’t entitled to a refund for my booking, but they understood the circumstances and gave me the full amount back. The location is fantastic too. I’ll definitely book with you again next time I’m in Canberra. Thanks!
