Home@Braddon Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Home@Braddon, you immediately get the sense this isn’t your typical hotel — and honestly, that’s exactly what makes it work so well. The building sits quietly on Mort Street, and there’s something refreshingly unpretentious about the whole setup. I mean, with a 9.4 rating, you’d expect something flashy, but instead you get this understated place that just feels right from the moment you arrive.

Location & Neighborhood

Braddon is one of those Canberra neighborhoods that locals actually hang out in, which tells you everything you need to know. You’re walking distance from Lonsdale Street’s cafe strip — and I’m talking proper coffee, not tourist stuff. The city center is close enough that you won’t be stuck out in the suburbs, but far enough that you escape that sterile government precinct feeling Canberra sometimes gets. Couples seem to particularly love this spot (they rate the location 9.6), and after spending time here, I get why — it’s got that perfect balance of being somewhere interesting without the chaos.

The Accommodation Experience

What strikes me about Home@Braddon is how they’ve nailed that “home away from home” concept without being cheesy about it. The spaces feel genuinely livable rather than hotel-room sterile. You know what I appreciate? The fact that they’ve got free private parking right on site — in Canberra, that’s not always a given, and it’s one of those details that makes your stay infinitely easier. The setup works particularly well if you’re planning to explore beyond the immediate area, since you’ve got a proper base to return to.

What Sets It Apart

There’s something to be said for a place that consistently gets a 9.7 location rating from recent guests — that doesn’t happen by accident. Home@Braddon seems to understand that travelers want to feel like they’re staying somewhere that matters to the city, not just passing through it. The whole experience feels more authentic than what you’d get at a standard hotel chain. It’s the kind of place where you actually look forward to coming back at the end of the day, rather than just using it as somewhere to sleep.

Why Guests Love It

The numbers speak for themselves — a 9.4 overall rating suggests they’re doing something very right. What I think it comes down to is that Home@Braddon doesn’t try to be everything to everyone. Instead, it focuses on being genuinely good at what it does: providing a comfortable, well-located base in one of Canberra’s most livable neighborhoods. The free parking, the excellent location rating, the fact that couples consistently love staying here — these aren’t flashy selling points, but they’re the things that actually matter when you’re traveling. Sometimes the best accommodation experiences are the ones that just work seamlessly, letting you focus on enjoying the city rather than dealing with hotel hassles.

Hotels in Canberra offer visitors the opportunity to stay in the heart of this political center, with easy access to national galleries, diplomatic quarters, and renowned wine regions.

Reviews of Home@Braddon

• Amazing location! – Kathy from Australia – 8 July 2025 (10/10)

  The location was excellent! Fantastic food options, within walking distance, that catered for gluten free. The unit was very comfortable and well appointed.

• Fantastic apartment in the heart of Braddon – Simone from Australia – 21 June 2025 (10/10)

  The apartment was clean, comfortable and very well stocked with everything we could need. Location was fantastic and close to everything.
  
  What could be improved: The car parking can be a little tricky in the underground car park.

• Great place to stay for a few days in Canberra – would suit a couple or small family. – John from Australia – 30 May 2025 (10/10)

  Very comfortable unit in busy Braddon-convenient for shops,restaurants and access to the public transport system.
  The host Eugene was very responsive with communication-thank you for helpful advice.
  Unit had all that you could want for a few days in Canberra.
  Good sefl catering facilities.
  Make sure to read joining instructions as you need to access key lock box in the waste room accessed via roller door in garage drive way-using code to open and close.
  Bed comfortable for a good night's sleep.
  Luggage storage if needed at Bounce located in SUPA Convenience Store at 2 Mort St.
  Highly recommended.
  
  What could be improved: Great big smart Sony TV but no Free to Air via antenna – number of channels available, so no shortage of stuff to watch, but suggest bring login details for your own apps.Was able to watch State of Origin on 9Now.

• Great city stay – Fiona from Australia – 25 May 2025 (10/10)

  Great location, clean, safe and quiet. Eugene very kindly accommodated our request for a later checkout.
  
  What could be improved: Finding the allocated carpark space was a little challenging as the numbers aren’t sequential- it is located on the very last level of the basement.

• Brilliant accommodation in a fabulous location. – Cettina from Australia – 15 May 2025 (9/10)

  Once I made the booking, communication with the host was immediate. All of the information we needed for our stay was provided, ensuring we had no difficulty finding our accomodation & gaining access to the property. The apartment is compact but had everything we needed for a relaxing stay.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing, everything that is normally provided (and more) was provided, including enough coffee pods for a long stay. Normally we have to purchase pods and never get to use them all.

• Excellent accommodation. – Russell from Australia – 9 May 2025 (10/10)

  Communications with the host Eugene was excellent with comprehensive entry instructions provided and any issues quickly sorted out. The apartment is well laid out with all you need for a comfortable stayand more. Beds were comfortable and all the appliances were good quality with the only issue being that the coffee pod machine was broken when we arrived but Eugene quickly offed to replace it. The tv is a huge smart tv for watching You tube on. The aircon was powerful and easy to control. It's a great place to stay.
  
  What could be improved: Parking spot is a bit tight for those with bigger cars. The tv had no antenna connection so you had to watch via internet tv which makes it cumbersome to switch between channels. The cooktop was a modern European induction unit with the controls labelled with symbols which, as oldies, we found hard to fathom at first but eventually figured out. Maybe another page on your instructions Eugene?

• Very good – Anthea from Australia – 27 April 2025 (8/10)

• Home @ Braddon – Angela from Australia – 12 March 2025 (9/10)

  Washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, full size fridge with freezer, balcony, all cooking facilities, 2 bed rooms, lounge/ dining room has everything you need.
  
  What could be improved: The car park is very tight if all car parks are being used around you, you wouldn't get in especially with a large car

• Fabulous stay at Braddon – Dunbar from Australia – 4 March 2025 (10/10)
