Affordable, welcoming in central Canberra.
Central city location. Dana is welcoming, always available for any questions or concerns. He is a source of local knowledge; a friendly and generous host.
The 5am daily street-sweeping machines which, of course, are not under the control of any of the accommodation hosts.

All in all, it was a bizarre mix of bad accomodation, awkward flatshare, and unintentional social experiment.
Central location
It’s fair to say this is the worst place I’ve ever stayed—and I don’t say that lightly.
The rooms are extremely small, the bathroom wasn’t exactly clean, and nights are surprisingly loud. The walls are so thin that you can clearly hear everything; especially the owner’s very enthusiastic phone calls at all hours.
Given the relatively low price, I kept my expectations modest… but somehow it still managed to underdeliver. That alone might be tolerable for travelers with very low standards—but unfortunately, that’s not the main issue.
The main issue? You’re not just renting a room—you’re accidentally signing up for a full-time roommate situation with the owner.
I stayed here for three months while working in Canberra, and the owner was constantly in the living room. And by constantly, I mean 24/7. He seemed to spend most of his time having intense discussions with ChatGPT (yes, really).
Privacy is basically nonexistent. Want to cook? He’s there. Come home after work? He’s there. Exist? He’s there, always ready to strike up a conversation about AI or his (often uncomfortable) political opinions.
You also share the bathroom with him, which is… a bonding experience no one asked for.
When I politely asked whether he actually lived there, he claimed he was only using the property for “work.” Based on what I saw, “work” appears to mean extended debates with ChatGPT.
At one point, I noticed he was there very early in the morning—and eventually he admitted that he also sleeps there. It would have been nice to know in advance that the landlord would effectively be a live-in roommate.
There were several other moments where his behavior felt inappropriate and, at times, borderline harassing. He spoke poorly about other guests, and overall the atmosphere was just deeply uncomfortable. Another guest I spoke to felt the same way.
I’m honestly just relieved I made it through the stay without anything more serious happening.

Stay would've been good if local phone & internet services had enaled me to enter 3 hours earlier.
For the price, the room and shared bathroom were very good.
The kitchen facilities were first rate
The Owner, was eentually friendly.
My arrival was almost catastrophic!!! I spend 2 hrs trying to find out how to identify my room and get in. It turns out that both the phone number and email provided for this property were outside Australia. I could get no response from either. The Emergency number provided for booking.com also did not work (perhaps also overseas).That made me think that I was a victim of a scam. So my next step was going to be visiting a police station. Starting to have a diabetes HYPO (due to delay in eating) I went to a nearby resteraunt where the waitress said they get lots of people arriving there having not been able to get into that room. An extremely helpful resident of the tower block was able to successfully ring the provided (overseas) phone number and arrange for an email with entry process info to be sent to me. So I was finally able to get in to my room, 3 hours late. Multiple key-pad locks, rathere than keys made it hard to enter and leave for most of my stay, until I could remember the different protocols for each lock entering and leaving. The Owner insisted the problems were only due to my incompetence. I recommend older people seek accommodation elsewhere. The Owner promised to improve the situation for older guests. Hopefully he will.
