Ii is in a beautiful settling, calm and peaceful. My room was more like an apartment, with lounge/study, bedroom and bathroom (no kitchen). The mid-century furniture is well preserved,

Uni House is in a great, quiet location. Despite it being an old building it is clean and spacious. Check-in is always easy and the staff are friendly. Fellows bar is also nice for a drink in the afternoon. I would recommend this especially to people who have a car, as it is a bit of a walk into civic.

I stayed 2 nights. There was no air conditioning. The shower was cold. I told the front desk about it the second morning and they said they would check it. Still cold on the second night. It was like staying in an army barracks.

Patchy
A convenient place to stay on the ANU campus. Staff were excellent. I appreciated the beautiful courtyard, the in room fridge, large desk, electric jug and tea/coffee. But the bed was not really comfortable (too old); the TV was super tiny; and the seating was hard. Also the cafe was closed all over the weekend (and it was a considerable walk to other cafes).

We have stayed here twice in the last couple of months. we avoided 'Boffins' this time as it is over-priced & you definitely do not get what you pay for. we ate at 'Fellows' which was very enjoyable & much better than 'Boffins'. The accommodation was clean, spacious & comfortable as usual.

Good place to stay
We stay here regularly as it is ideally situated for proximity to activities at ANU as well as close to town and is reasonably priced. Room comfortable and spacious. As always my complaint is always having two single beds rather than a shared bed plus the annoying heavy bathroom door which deliberately swings shut every time one goes in and out of it so filling up the kettle etc is more difficult than it needs to be. Our toilet was difficult to flush plus the tap handle for the shower came off in my hand when I showered. I reported these issues so hopefully they will get fixed. There isn't ever a power point at desk top level for the kettle so we always end up with it sitting down on the carpeted floor. I do think the management could supply an extension cord or improve the set up so that power points are available for use at desk top level. Bending down to floor level is a nuisance.and families with young children would need to be vigilant to prevent scalding injuries from boiling water.
