Best hotel we've stayed in in Australia. Lovely 1920s building, helpful staff, attractive bar, good location for many sites and on a number of bus routes (Canberra is not a very pedestrian-friendly city). Only quibble would be that, as one of the, possibly the, leading hotel(s) in the Commonwealth capital, a wider selection of Australian wines, and notably some from the smaller wine regions (for example, Beechworth, VIC) could be available.

Abode Kingston

10/10 Excellent

This is a new hotel offering very comfortable rooms and great service. The location is very good with several good cafes and restraints within a minute walk. The Kingston waterfront with more cafes and restaurants is an easy short walk away. A bus stop is a few meters away and cycles are available to hire for the more adventurous. There is a great takeaway pizza behind the hotel and you can use the hotel lounge area to eat in comfort. Special thanks to Laura and Hannah for looking after us do...

Had a two night stay here with my husband to explore Canberra . We did have a hired car to get around . The property was clean, everything we needed was there , could easily stay for longer as the apartment had everything you could possibly need. Staff were very friendly and helpful . The pool was pleasant but certainly only there to cool down and have a swim not for laying around. We would definitely recommend this accommodation to family and friends .
