Weekend getaway - well priced, comfortable, handy.”

I was able to book a room for around Aud one hundred. I booked a standard room, but received an upgrade to king suite - 3rd (the top) floor. (#313) I was concerned that because Abode allows dogs, my room might smell or I would hear barking dogs - so I phoned ahead before booking and was told to request the top floor. On arrival the receptionist told me that dogs are limited to the ground floor section (east side - (rooms are only on the east side on the ground floor.) I hope I'm passing on the correct information - please double-check for yourself. Room hints - weekend travellers : I think the west side rooms in winter would be quietest - they overlook apartment balconies and (business) car park but also a view towards parliament house. Free parking on the streets on weekends. North facing rooms (the entry side of the hotel) face onto al fresco restaurants across the street - not a problem in winter during a pandemic - but might be noisy otherwise. Easy walk to lake and lots of eateries, market (when it's open), a healthy walk to art galleries. Good value for the price. No reception 5pm - 9am (ish). No phone (that I could see) in the room to phone reception. If you can afford it - I'd recommend 3rd (top) floor. The west side studios don't have balconies. But they have expansive windows and you can open the centre window a bit for fresh air. I think there are 2 "hotel room" on the 3rd floor as well looking at the floor plan. Happy travels!

Great Location, Value for Money and Cooperative Staff”

The hotel is close to the Canberra station (walking distance ~8-10mins) and commutation is very easy. The staff was very helpful, cooperative and polite. The room was great and so were the facilities including casting facility to watch in television. The parliament and war memorials are also close by - max 10-15mins drive one side, thus it was a bonus. You can find different cuisines around the hotel. I will definitely recommend people to stay in the hotel and will book again when I visit Canberra

Nice new hotel in Kingston which is a nice quiet suburb close to the city centre, with some lovely restaurants and cafes about. The hotel itself is very nice. The rooms were much better and more spacious than I expected, and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. You do need to book parking in advance as there aren’t a lot of spaces, but the parking level itself is secure and easy to get in and out of.

Good central location with many cafes, a supermarket, chemist, bars and the Lake close by. Very easy check in. Room very clean, grateful for the kitchen facilities. The lift was quite slow. Parking is on the street - free after 1230pm-ish on a Saturday and all day Sunday, but you might have to pay outside those hours. Would stay again.

We have stayed here on previous occasions, the location is fantastic, handy to everything. Across the road a line of eateries covering many cuisines. My only complaint there is no mirror other than a difficult to reach one over the toilet. I have been told many times 'yes we are getting full length mirrors' - come on a trip to Bunnings or Mitre 10 one for each room won't break the bank. Bit stingy on the number of tea bags 2x English Breakfast and 2 x Earl Grey so take your own supply!
