In Australia, you will find that 99.99% of the time you get the level of service, etc., that you pay for. Therefore the more you pay the "better" the motel/hotel. If you need a recommendation for an establishment close to a particular location, give us some idea of your preferences. Geoff Lillico

I’m travelling all the way from Sydney by car, so location is not important.

Probably the cheapest is the "Formule 1" motel (part of the Accor Hotel group). It’s address is: Address:    Cnr Federal Hwy & Antill Street, Watson, Canberra  ACT  2602 Cost:           $54 per room, per night Phone:        (02) 6253-9020 You can book online at: www.formule1.com.au And here is a blurb from their website: Located on the Federal Highway heading into Canberra. A 5-minute drive from the City Centre, Parliament House, Australian War Memorial and Capital Hill. Hope this helps, Tamss

I really enjoyed the new(ish – now around 3 YO) hostel in central Canberra (not the YHA on the outskirts, if Canberra can properly be said to have outskirts 8-)) – I believe they have family rooms.  Great facilities, central as mentioned (near one of the malls and within walking distance of parliament, etc.), clean, bright, affordable, on-site bar, sauna, and whirlpool.  I’ve stayed at inferior hotels at four times the price!

We are coming to sight see with my father, who is flying over from NZ. He is getting on, so we would like somewhere warm and comfortable. Jan – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text –
