If you near to be in the area, it's worth considering. But for the same price you can get a real hotel in the city. I'd rate this as a nice motel. I liked - it's new - king sized bed - 2x Samsung flat screens - kitchenette facilities -air con/heater worked well I disliked - unsecured parking - looooong... More

Best thing - friendly checkin, albeit had to be checked in by 8pm as not 24hrs. Hotel is 20 mins from city, not in a particularly nice part of town surrounded by servos and fast food restaurants. Building and rooms showing signs of wear and tear, less than desirable element hanging around front of hotel. Parking is NOT secured!

Reasonable cost, but you get what you pay for. I was woken at 4 in the morning by the first macca's delivery truck arriving and had to keep my balcony door closed because of some unfortunate smells coming from the dumpsters next door. None of this was Abode's fault, but they can be held accountable for the average cleanliness of... More

This place was overall pretty average, but is indeed one of the few reasonably priced options for self-catering in Canberra. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, the accommodation is new, modern, and clean. There's nice areas in which to run or walk nearby, and this area of the city has much faster access to the city than areas to... More

Firstly, if you can avoid Canberra then I would do that. Secondly if you can afford to stay in the city then do that. If you have to be in Canberra and want to pay realistic prices this is a good option. Recently built, it offers modern apartment style accommodation with a range of room types.
