Little Drifter Canberra (with kids)

Amazing stay, the room was quiet, peaceful, and very relaxing. Everything was clean and comfortable, and the staff were genuinely friendly.

I stayed in the Queen Compact - it was great value for money. The bed was very comfortable. Little Drifters is clean, and the facilities are great. The rooftop area was a great place to do work and later unwind. Internet was fast. The location is excellent - everything I wanted to see in Canberra (galleries, museums, parks etc) was in walking distance.
