What guests think

At Pinnacle Apartments, travellers highlight a very convenient location near Kingston and Manuka, spacious apartments suited to families, generally friendly service, and frequent comments about cleanliness, alongside recurring mentions of a popular heated pool.

Some reviewers report inconsistent housekeeping and maintenance, with dated furnishings, worn cookware, or uncomfortable lounge seating in certain units. A few note practical drawbacks: no lifts to upper floors, tight or limited parking, occasional noise between units or from the driveway, and Wi‑Fi that can be unreliable. Climate control varies by room, with some bedrooms lacking air conditioning or feeling cold in winter. A practical, good-value base for exploring Canberra.

Great apartments situated minutes walk from Kingston shops, having extensive cafes and restaurants! Great secure gated parking at the property. Apartments have updated bathroom with great water pressure and ample hot water. Given these are apartments, many families stay here. Top floor apartments are not accessible by lifts. Overall a great stay!

Fantastic location. Staff were lovely. Only negative is the 5 flights of stairs to get to the 3 bedroom apartment. Thankfully we had the help of 2 other younger guests, who carried our bags up!

Really good location, although the hotel is getting a bit aged, it is very practical and everything works. Outdoor pool was heated which was a nice added bonus

Convenient location and easy check-in. Our room was on the road and while comfortable, the bedrooms were a little noisy into the evening. The listing says there is free on-site parking however after completing the non-refundable booking, they send an SMS stating that 'parking is limited and subject to availability'. There is a chance you won't get a space... it's actually first in, first served. This is important to know prior to booking.

Check-in was a breeze thanks to Nathan who was very helpful. We love staying at Pinnacle apartments. Very comfortable, clean and an extremely good location close to all that Canberra has to offer. Good secure onsite parking and I noticed they have 2 EV charges. We love Manuka and Kingston for eating out and Pinnacle is perfectly located for this. We highly recommend Pinnacle Apartments for a nice, quiet, safe and convenient location when in Canberra.

We stayed in a 4 bedroom apartment, with 2 adults and 5 children. Having one - small 2 seater lounge chair was very inconvenient for 7 people. The apartment furniture could use some updating, it was very old and dirty. Beds were comfortable, however lack of warm bedding in cold Canberra climate wasn’t ideal. Also be aware that there are heigh restrictions on the parking lot if you have a 4wd or large vehicle.

Great location and a nice spacious apartment. Only a few kms from most things to see in Canberra, and a walk to a few shops/restaurants. Nice kitchen which had OK amount of equipment which made cooking a challenge. Shower was amazing though! Wifi barely worked. TV was very old- could not login to streaming services. One of the armchairs was broken so could not be used Cleanliness was a bit hit and miss, especially the toilet but overall would recommend. Staff were lovely

Conveniently located in the middle of a lot of popular tourist places. Staff were friendly, helpful and quick with any needs. 3 bedroom, 2 story unit was big enough for a family of 5.(2A, 3C) All amenities were available. Issues were: they need to improve on cleaning. Need to sort out noise. Can hear EVERYTHING in the units around.

A pretty average experience staying at Pinnacle as a of 4. Whilst there are good aspects of the property (namely it's location), the room felt a little run down and we won't be rushing back. Pros: - location is super close to restaurant precinct which has some really great options (Penny University cafe is phenomenal) - rooms are spacious, a 2br apartment was plenty of space for a family - plenty of secure undercover parking Cons: - our apartment was not very clean on check in; drinking glasses had grime in them, the dishwasher smelled putrid and there was a few dirty items in there, whole place was stale smelling - fly screen on balcony in need of repair, not safe with small children - there was a weird sewerage smell emitted from the bathroom/toilet late in the day - they charge $20 per night for a cot ($10-15 is pretty standard but this seemed ridiculous) - the parking spaces are tiny, it was virtually impossible to get children in and out of carseats if someone was parked next to you Would recommend if you are staying with children to request a room away from the main driveway. The noise of people coming and going was quite disruptive in the evenings.

Amazing comfortable beds and bedding and while unit was very homely the only fault was that even thou it wasn't summer there isn't an a/c unit in the main bedroom,only a pedestal fan, it was 29 degrees and felt hot,I'd hate to think how hot it would get in that bedroom in a 35 degree plus day!!

Jeg fravalgte rengøring, men der var pænt og rent da jeg kom. Når jeg ikke giver topkarakter skyldes det kun at hoveddøren var mindre end rammen, og derfor var der til tider koldt. Ellers rigtig fint sted. Udlejning af cykler 1,50 Aud pr time, og en lille hyggelig gårdhave. Tæt på gode indkøbsmuligheder så man kan bruge køkkenet. Personalet var venlige og hjælpsomme ved spørgsmål.
