Buffet high tea December 2025. First time. Black Truffle sandwich was the best. Great range of treats and teas. A different experience as missed the seafood buffet. More

Traditional atmosphere with courteous staff. A no nonsense menu as well. Just that the portion sizes could be a bit more generous and I would have given 4 stars.

Lovely buffet but service was a little slow. Had to flag down inattentive staff several times for basic things like getting started, milk with tea, coffee afterwards. More

Had the Gourmet Burger with waghyu beef. Unfortunately, the patty was dry and well-done (tough). The decor is nice and the staff are very friendly and professional but the burger was essentially DOA.

My book club came here and it was terrible. We had so much difficulty getting served and we were never given menus (we were sitting in a separate lounge area). The staff were not at all helpful. The wine was super expensive and they would not split the bill. The service was terrible. More

$68 per person for unlimited high tea, including barista-made coffee and GIANT teapots, was such a terrific experience. Spent a lovely few hours here; service was polite and efficient and food stations were regularly topped up. Would recommend to anyone keen to try out a high tea experience.

My experience with high tea at the Canberra Hyatt was not bad by any measure. It was simply not good enough to justify the high price. When I visited with my family yesterday, almost everything was just a little off. When we arrived, I … More

Very disappointed. I've been many times and thoroughly enjoyed the Hyatt Tea Lounge high tea buffet- and look forward to attending every time. Last weekend I was told we only get the food included on the stand and no additional tea. This … More

Had dinner there during new year’s Eve. We have ordered Oyster and each of us ordered starters and main course. I guess because it was NYE, waiters were quite occupied. Starters arrived before Oysters. The starters were only warm but not … More

Extremely disappointing post-Christmas high tea buffet in December 2025. As other reviewers have said, there were a multitude of issues from service to the food: servers did not seem trained properly and didn't seem to know what they were … More

Clearly, this hotel is no longer interested in a 5 star experience when it comes to it 's Christmas High Tea buffet. Only hope people booked in for the 2025 Xmas and New Year events don't feel the disappointment, we did. As a regular to … More

The service is incredibly poor and the menu has shrunk over the years. Despite it clearly not being busy by any stretch, our meals came our after 45 minutes and quite cold. I had a similarly poor experience 2 years ago, I cannot believe … More

The high tea for a special occasion/celebration was a great experience. The atmosphere with the relaxed old world hotel charm was a highlight. The staff were professional, friendly and attentive. As for the main event (the food), the three … More

I have enjoyed coming to the Hyatt for high tea over the past decade or so and I’m sad to say the standard of food and service has dropped terribly. The food served today was of subpar quality, strange flavour combinations, sandwiches were … More

This was the worst Christmas High Tea (or High Tea for that matter) that I have ever been to. Cost-cutting everywhere, dirty plates and glasses, old and worn upholstery, luke-warm tea not properly steeped and no attention paid to the kids. … More

The High Tea was good, lovely tea options and the food variety was wonderful. … More

Disappointing and careless - our group of eight who had travelled from different locations across Australia for a celebration, were spread across two tables, staff just shrugged when I asked about it. Across two tables of 4, the tiers came … More
