Stayed 1 night in July 2020

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!

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!

First, the room was very clean and nicely arranged. Absolutely top! I just think the staff could have been more welcoming, friendly and open. I tried to call to ask for an earlier check-in but it took quite a view attempts to get someone answering the phone. Once I was there, another wait time with other guests until someone was serving the reception. ame on the day of checkouts no reception attendance. The staff wasn't unfriendly but seemingly bored or annoyed in her tone and expression. Otherwise, room was great value

Good location but facilities could try harder”

This is good basic apartment style accommodation but on the lean side with offerings compared to other facilities. For example no additional lamp for reading other than bedside lights, no additional pillows, no cushions on sofa. On the plus side a fridge, dishwasher and a washer/dryer in the room. Windows do no open. Limited undercover parking so need to park on street. I wouldn't necessarily choose this again ... but it was ok and walking distance of course to Kingston shops and facilities.
