Dissapointed
Cons:

I booked early enough to secure underground parking
The hotel waited until the day before to inform me it wasn’t available
I would have stayed elsewhere if I had known in time to cancel

Abode Kingston is in an excellent location and a simple but comfortable abode.
Pros:

Staff were hugely helpful with our late and random requests - absolutely first-rate and we're very thankful for their help, especially at such short notice. Also, great location near the vibrant Kingston shops, Fyshwick and parliamentary triangle.

Cons:

I guess it was to be expected, but the twin share beds were tiny!! Also, the mattresses were a little too soft and we sunk into them haha.....
