Little Drifter Canberra (solo trip)

Amazing stay, the room was quiet, peaceful, and very relaxing. Everything was clean and comfortable, and the staff were genuinely friendly. The location couldn’t be better, super easy to walk everywhere and surrounded by great cafés. I loved the big kitchen and the chill common areas, especially the rooftop.

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.
