Abode Woden

Close to Canberra hospital

Unfortunately ,we didn't get to stay at Abode Woden on this occasion !! We were travelling over 4 hours to Canberra for a medical Specialist's appointment, and as we set off we received an email to say our appointment had been postponed by a fortnight!!! We emailed the motel and asked if we may be able to transfer our booking by a fortnight and explained the situation. We also mentioned that the hospital had advised they could send a letter of support as proof of the reason, but received a reply from the motel that we were outside the 24 hour cancellation period , and since we'd booked through a third party they were unable to assist us!!! We were totally aware of the time frame , but thought maybe there would be a compassionate consideration come into play , since we'd already paid for the room , and there was plenty of time left in the day to re-book the room to someone else!! Anyway , this just made our crappy day crappier , and we have had to essentially pay double for accommodation for the doctor visit!! Disappointed!!

Thank you Kel ! You were a wonderful host, thanks for sharing the corporate booking options with me .. much appreciated your help

Have stayed here before it is overall quite good but there is only one chair for two people and no clock in the room

Good location but wouldn't stay again. Photos through Expedia must have been taken when the property was refurbished many years ago because the reality was a very tired hotel. Chips in the joinery, no exhaust fan extremely average small TV that was problematic to operate. Dirty carpet. No parking aside from pay-to-park council parking. Free overnight but limited to four hours between 8.30 and 5.30. No block out blinds. Terrible AC. Really noisy and a horrible screech from the water system everything a neighbour used the tap. Very disappointing stay in a tired old property that is misrepresented in online booking sites.

It was reasonable place to stay.

Stayed here a couple of times recently. The room itself is nice and comfortable. Location is great, very near to the Hellenic ands Southern Cross clubs and Westfield. There are a few down sides though. The shower has both times had previous guests hair - gross. Check in has been a little troublesome each time - reception is not well manned after hours, staff often out smoking or otherwise occupied. There’s always a guest having some issue dealt with. The lift is problematic and slow, either passes don’t work or need getting used to the delay. We were evacuated for false fire alarm 20 minutes after falling asleep on the most recent visit - seems their kitchens are not well ventilated and trigger the alarm regularly. Kids are traumatised. Bunk beds are very noisy at the slightest movement. Bodega at reception is welcome, for last minute supplies. Will stay again, but wife has given a final warning in the hair in the shower.

Clean large room, Parking was easy and close by.

Easy parking. Equipped service apartment, many restaurants around. Good view

Perfect stay - clean, fabulous location, reasonable price, easy and cheap parking, friendly staff!! The whole building had a fresh, clean smell as soon as you walked in the door!! Room was warm which was appreciated on a cold Canberra winter night! Ideal for us - 5 minute drive to Canberra Hospital, Hellenic Club across the road, Westfield practically next door! Only negative was the shower flooded out the bathroom!! Not sure if our room may have been designed for disabled access to shower or if there was a design fault but only dry spot was on top of the toilet !!! Despite that, we will be staying here again soon - and check the shower situation!!!

They upgraded my room with bunk beds. Not sure how that’s an upgrade when i was travelling solo for business, had they gave me a lounge, then I guess that’s an upgrade. Showers definitely needed a good clean, mould was evident

Lovely spacious and clean room. Large modern bathroom. Liked mini kitchen with washing machine facility. Restaurant good, but a little "canteen" like and annoyingly smokers going outside constantly leaving door open. Only other gripe was the silly TV. I just wanted to see some "free to air" news. Annoying.

Great location-close to public transport, restaurants and shopping. Needed an extra pillow in the room ie 2 each. Otherwise, perfect.

Travelling solo for work. Have stayed here multiple times. Really like the clean bathroom, washing machine and always a comfy warm room.

The restaurant staff are hopeless, forgot one of our orders. Food was nice, but small serving. We went to the bar/restaurant the first night, staff were terrible, same with the atmosphere. In our rooms, cups and glasses were in a high cupboard that I could not reach. Parking was fine across the road, better than I thought it would be.

It's clean and comfortable. Stayed for work. Walking distance to Westfield shopping centre with lots of food options

The only think is can you please put a couple more t-bags and coffee in the rooms then I don't have to ask for more as I feel awkward asking for more or going to the foyer cupboard to help myself everything else and breakfast was great - we were looking to have dinner at the restaurant on Saturday night but it was closes so we had to go elsewhere

Great, clean. Room a bit too warm for me. But otherwise very comfortable

Very clean room and location was fantastic

Clean room and very comfortable bed
