Great stay

TripAdvisor rating 4.0/5

Colin W 03/08/2020 TripAdvisor review

The Mecure Braddon is located in a great spot for what we like to do in Canberra. You can walk to the War Memorial, Parliament House and Canberra Shopping Centre. The A/manager Lukas Wilfling and his staff are excellent, with Covid issues etc they are all freindly and nothing is a problem. Attached to the accommodation is the Olim Tavern great for meals and a drink.

Great location, great room, friendly staff

Elaine Families - 01/08/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Room was a wonderful size, and hotel in a very central location. The hotel was beautifully presented (a great fit for families and anyone who enjoys heritage buildings or gardens), and the staff were all amazing. The food was delicious as well. We will be returning.

Julia W. Couples - 28/07/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

We were treated with kindness and respect. I had forgotten to check to see if we had a bath which we didn’t but when I asked if we could change rooms to one with a bath nothing was too much trouble and with Covid I understand this would have been more tiresome than normal. Staff were cheerful and always helpful, in fact I wish we had booked for two nights. The loft rooms are amazing.

Dear Julia, We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Mercure Canberra. Thank you so much for your lovely comments about our team! It means a lot in such difficult times, I have made sure to already pass on your feedback to our Front Office Manager Rosa (I also agree she is amazing). Thank you again for sharing your experience, and I look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Sincerely, Kelsey Neale Assistant Manager

Slightly disappointing

Customer review rating 4.4/5

Wendy Couples - 26/07/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

This was the fifth stay at Olims for us. What used to be a hotel with class and personality seems to have morphed into little more than a soulless pub. We had 2 breakfasts, 1 lunch and 2 dinners during our stay. The breakfasts were adequate but not noteworthy, the waitress could have topped up our coffees for example, and the drinks should arrive before the food. The lunch was excellent, we have since looked up the recipe for the bacon and tomato soup. Our waitress Arkie was busy, attentive and exactly the person we would employ in our own business. The sirloin steaks were cooked to perfection and we told the chef so. We felt that the wine/drinks menu was limited with no Tia Maria, no moscato, no spumante or any sweet sparkling wine. Also the Iron Jack beer had run out before my second. Just one other point, does the one welcoming drink voucher really need to be limited to this , not that. What difference can it possibly make to the bottom line? All it says is 'Welcome, but not too welcome"

Extremely friendly staff

Well located and unusual

Customer review rating 4.4/5

Colleen Couples - 19/07/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

This is our 3rd stay this year, we had a few problems, our air conditioner wasn’t working that well. But after telling reception they managed to get it going again. Because of COVID the staff ratio was down and we found a long wait at breakfast and a bit disorganised. The staff were working hard but needed to have more help available. We ate in the bistro but they also seemed to be understaffed as they were trying to do room deliveries as well. I think they hadn’t been expecting so many customers. The manager in the Bistro was amazing. Overall we enjoyed our stay and found all the staff extremely helpful friendly.

Dear Colleen, We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Mercure Canberra. I am glad that overall you enjoyed your stay with us. Please let me extend my apologies for the issues you did encounter whilst with us. I would also like to thank you for providing us feedback from such an understanding point of view in regards to the current circumstances. I will pass on your lovely feedback to Caitlin as I believe she was the manager in the Bistro throughout your stay. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and I look forward to welcoming you back. Sincerely, Kelsey Neale Assistant Manager

It was wonderful to get away and have a rest before getting back into work. The room was great. The only complaint would be that the hotel needs a bit of a facelift.

Customer review rating 4.4/5

Alexandra W. Families - 18/07/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Overall we had a good stay but the breakfast experience was terrible. I understand the covid restrictions are challenging (and buffet breakfasts are no more) but the service was woeful. We had our three kids with us and waited and waited to order. When my husband finally approached the staff member at the door, she was so rude and told us she was “busy” but would take our order when she had time. She never came. We approached another staff member who was far nicer and she took our order. But the experience was so terrible we didn’t bother going back again. We could hear plenty of other people making similar complaints.
