I appreciate the pet friendly accommodation abode provides for travellers. The rooms are clean, well equipped with a very comfortable bed. Not a budget choice but you get what you pay for. Highly recommend as quality accommodation.

Very spacious rooms and in a convenient location the Abode Kingston is a great option for a short or longer term stay in the ACT. The self-contained rooms are great considering there is a wonderful supermarket 5 minutes away. The options for eating out is also plentiful and right on the doorstep. Looking forward to staying here again.
