The Statesman Hotel, Curtin ACT

The room was great - thoughtfully designed to maximise space. Loads of places for storage: wardrobe, a wall unit with shelves and drawers, and a long, very useful counter plus desk. The bed was very comfortable, so too the armchair, and the balcony had a nice view. The lighting is well placed for reading and there are plenty of power points. Bar and restaurant in the adjoining building and the Curtin shops next door. Overall, spacious, comfortable and convenient.

Great food & drinks. Wood fire Pork shoulder was yummy, my wife had the Snapper she enjoyed it too. Would suggest to have some salad or veg with the Snapper & Pork Shoulder. Staff were lovely.

We stayed 5 nights at the statesman hotel. We had dinner and a few drinks at the restraunt. Food was amazing and staff where so friendly.

The rooms where very nice and affordable.

I must say the very nice lady at reception makes a great coffee too.

Thank you

After a strong start, following their renovations, it's all gone to pot over the last few weeks!

We used to consider ourselves regulars, dining in a few times a week. Whilst we're pleased to hear your hotel guests are enjoying the new menu, the word on the street is your regular locals are not. For us, it's time to find a new local.

Guys, you've really broken what used to be a great pub and dining experience!

Please read.

General review:
- Thin walls, can hear every word of the neighbours
- No microwave or many facilities in the room at all
- Checking in can take a lot of time. Not knowing which entrance to use, or where your room is, and signage is confusing. The staff around often help with this and can be lovely! But the overall design and setup isn't great.

Onto the worst bit:
My partner and I stayed here for two nights last year. I had wisdom teeth surgery so I brought soup with me whilst he ate from the restaurant attached to the hotel. Worst food poisoning I've ever seen in my life. We ended up calling an ambulance and to this day, almost a year later, he is still seeing doctors regarding issues from it.

I would never, ever stay here again. I just sincerely hope no one else has such an awful experience as we did. 😀
