Realm Hotel
by CandS about Realm Hotel
The Realm Hotel is the 'newest' hotel in Canberra... It's on National Circuit close to Parliament House. The staff are very friendly, the amenities and facilities are fantastic!! Our room (a Realm Suite) had a dishwasher (!!!), full sized fridge, bath & shower, king sized bed, balcony, seperate bedroom, two flat screen TV's and heaps of space! The best thing it had was the block out curtains and what seemed to be very good sound proofing all round!! :)
There's also a lap pool, a massive & well stocked gym, lifts, under cover secure parking and 24 hour room service.

here is the link to the kambah Inn - kambah seems to be 19 k from the city centre

otherwise i would suggest the City Walk - which is right in the centre and close to the bus station so you can take a bus where you want to go
and are not stuck out in kambah all the time
the city walk - where i have stayed - was basic - and cheap

I have no accommodation tip but wanted to give you the link to public transportation:
http://www.action.act.gov.au/default.html
In the routes and timetables section you can see that there are two or three routes from the city centre to Kambah, and the trip takes about 45 minutes.
Just by googling I found the Kambah Inn:

I can only agree that Canberra is rather a safe place, I walked around there alone at any time of the night.

As someone who used to live in Learmonth Drive - I can confirm that the others have been correct - Edwil House is a bed and breakfast in walking distance - good place for a lone woman to stay. The people here will be helpful to know how to get around. Kambah Inn is a bit cheap - connected to a bar and liquor shop - with a bus stop, little shopping centre. About 3 kms - 3 - 5 mins car ride from Learmonth. The nearest motel is the Country Comfort Greenway. about 1 or 2 kms from Learmonth
