Splendid 2bd 1bth 1csp Apt – Superb CBD Location

Splendid 2bd 1bth 1csp Apt – Superb CBD Location Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Splendid 2bd 1bth 1csp Apt – Superb CBD Location, I’ll be honest — the name’s a bit of a mouthful, but it pretty much tells you everything you need to know. This four-star apartment sits right on Boolee Street, and you’re literally in the heart of Canberra‘s business district. The building itself has that modern Australian aesthetic — clean lines, nothing too flashy, but definitely well-maintained. What really caught my attention was how quiet it felt despite being smack in the middle of everything.

Location That Actually Delivers

You know what’s rare? A place that claims “superb location” and actually lives up to it. This spot genuinely does — I mean, recent guests rated the location 9.4 out of 10, and after spending time here, I get why. You can walk to Parliament House in about fifteen minutes, the National Gallery is practically next door, and Lake Burley Griffin is close enough for morning jogs. The CBD location means you’re surrounded by decent coffee shops (crucial in Australia), and honestly, you don’t need a car for most tourist stuff. Speaking of cars though, there’s free private parking on-site, which is actually pretty amazing for a city center location.

The Space Itself

The room setup works really well — two bedrooms, one bathroom, and that car space I mentioned. It’s clearly designed for couples or small families, and I can see why couples rate this place so highly. The kitchen is fully equipped, not just some tiny kitchenette situation, so you can actually cook proper meals if you want to save money or just prefer eating in. The living area has good natural light, and the furniture feels contemporary without being sterile. Everything’s clean and functional — not Instagram-perfect, but comfortable in that lived-in way that makes you feel at home.

Practical Comforts

What I appreciated most were the little things that show someone actually thought about what travelers need. The wifi works properly (tested it extensively), there’s decent storage space for longer stays, and the bathroom has a proper shower with good water pressure. The apartment stays surprisingly quiet at night considering you’re in the CBD — good windows, I guess. The building feels secure too, which matters when you’re in an unfamiliar city. Air conditioning works well, which you’ll definitely need during Canberra summers.

Why Guests Love It

This place scores an 8.2 overall rating, and after staying here, that feels about right — it’s solidly good without being extraordinary. Couples especially seem to love it, probably because it gives you that “living like locals” experience while still being close to everything touristy. The combination of central location, free parking, and having your own space rather than a hotel room creates this sweet spot where you feel independent but not isolated. It’s particularly great if you’re planning to explore Canberra properly rather than just passing through — having a real kitchen and separate bedrooms makes longer stays much more comfortable than cramming into a standard hotel setup.

Apartments in Canberra provide travelers with authentic local experiences, allowing them to explore traditional Australian markets and experience daily life in planned suburban neighborhoods.

Reviews of Splendid 2bd 1bth 1csp Apt – Superb CBD Location

• Great location, very good views and opposite to Glebe park. Very central to walk for dinner. – Ray from United Kingdom – 25 January 2025 (9/10)

  Opposite magnificent Glebe Park, walking distance to restaurants, short drives to Museums and Galleries. Good size rooms and balcony …. grandkids loved the pool !! Great views from balcony, would stay there again, highly recommend!!
  
  What could be improved: Difficulty finding/pick up of keys plus initial challenge of getting into carpark but later resolved and plenty of room and cover for vehicle.!

• Comfortable apartment but small for more than 4 people – Brad from Australia – 10 January 2025 (8/10)

  The apartment was clean, modern,
  And within walking distance to the shops.
  Only a short drive to all the sights.
  
  What could be improved: Car parking was a little confusing, but once you found it all good. Tip when you go into the complex, follow it around in a horse shoe shape and the black roller doors are to the left on the exit up ramp… don't use the up ramp on the right with the 1st black roller door.

• Awesome location , clean and new – Jenny from Australia – 23 December 2024 (9/10)

  Central location , clean and comfy

• Good – Eleanor from Australia – 11 December 2024 (7/10)

  good location and comfortable. It was relatively easy to collect keys, just logistically frustrating without my own transport. Had to walk with my luggage 15 mins back to apartment.
  
  What could be improved: Collecting the keys was a treasure hunt across town. I didn't receive 'instructions' until the day before so had not planned for it. I arrived by taxi and had to get dropped off a 15 minute walk away, where the 'office' was (container behind a car wash).

• Awesome place – Hume from Australia – 30 November 2024 (8/10)

  Great place and the bonus of secure parking

• Would definitely go back to Canberra and the apartment was perfect for our short stay – Zaiga from Australia – 25 November 2024 (8/10)

  Location was fantastic
  
  What could be improved: The view was a little disappointing.

• Extremely pleasant for a base to visit National Gallery and Canberra Capital Exhibition. – Terry from Australia – 17 September 2024 (8/10)

  Excellent location Perhaps some info about where local supermarkets were (Canberra Centre). Possible restaurants such as those in Lonsdale St.
  
  What could be improved: Clearer instructions for accessing car park. The last instruction needs to state explicitly ignore right turn arrow which takes you out of car park into street. Instead turn left to locked grate door. Otherwise fine
  
  Some simple instructions for using induction top on stove. Speaking as someone who has an induction top

• Very good – Nicki from Australia – 11 September 2024 (8/10)

  What could be improved: Key pickup was annoying.

• Superb – Wendy from Australia – 23 August 2024 (9/10)

  Location was fantastic, 10 minutes walk to the restaurants.
  
  What could be improved: Appt was a bit small but then if one's only there to sleep it doesn't matter.

• Great cosy self contained apartment, nice building, excellent location. – Jason from Australia – 21 August 2024 (9/10)

  Great central location, carpark facilities
  
  What could be improved: A complimentary Additional set of keys would have been nice, when attempting a family stay. The building is quite locked down, this made access and coordination tricker at times.
  The Keys pickup location is not onsite, fine if you have a car but would be annoying without wheels.
