Astra Apartments Canberra Kingston - Kingston, Australian Capital Territory

Kenneth N.

I had the privilege of staying at the Astra apartments in Kingston, Canberra again for 5 weeks from the end of August to early October 2024.
Yet again, I was truly impressed by the standard of care and attention to detail that was provided during my stay.
I am truly grateful for the extent to which Rebecca McPherson went to, to make my stay an efficient and enjoyable experience. As a doctor working long and unpredictable hours away from home, it was completely reassuring to know that any queries or requests that I had were handled with a standard of professionalism and courtesy that far exceeded my expectations.
The apartments themselves, as I have previously mentioned, are well located in the quiet suburb of Kingston, with a large supermarket (Supabarn) a short walking distance away, and numerous restaurants that are just across the street. The apartment I stayed in was spacious and comfortable, and very well equipped. Wifi is good for the area, and there is a fully equipped gym in the basement next to the carpark. The apartment was cleaned efficiently every week.
I am truly grateful. Thank you.

I found the one bedroom apartment good for what I needed. I was met on arrival and shown to and around the apartment (there is no reception area). Location was great in Kingston with pubs and restaurants all within a short walk as well as a small supermarket across the road. The room was well equipped with a full modern kitchen with living area and dining table, as well as washing machine and dryer. Bed is low and the bedroom is relatively small. Needs additional powerpoints near the bed for devices (my complaint for most hotels). Bathroom is dated with no cupboards. There is an online manual but I was not given a wifi password (I got it by ringing the contact). Please update the manual as there is no info about parking and please give wifi code so you can review the manual! In the 16 days the room was only serviced once (I was told it was weekly). Aside from that I would definitely stay again.

Wifi is shockingly bad. No aircon in the bedrooms, very small unit in lounge which barely covers that area, does not reach bedrooms at all, not even a fan so expect it to be VERY stuffy in summer. One bathroom to share between 4 was not great either. Location is good.

Good location across road from decent grocery store, cafes and some good places to eat. Found apartment a little dirty and missing key features in a self contained apartment; namely smart TV, full length mirror, hair dryer and some non-stick cooking pans/pots. Oh and more than one key would be great.

Just imagine it, a strip shopping centre across the road with an endless number of restaurant, cafes and Canberra's Best Bakery, Silo. Only 5 mins to most of the attractions in Canberra. Five minute walk to the new lakeside development on Lake Burley Griffin. A short walk to the Old Bus Depot Market. Not only that, this apartment is stylish and practical. One bedroom, generous kitchen, dining, lounge area with a sunny balcony. Generous sized bedroom with bathroom (shower) and european laundry, with separate walkin wardrobe, dressing room. All rooms enjoy lots of light and fresh air. Why would you stay anywhere else?

Rooms are comfortable but service not particularly good - I locked myself out of my room and called Reception to let me back in, but it took over an hour for them to do so.

The managers are very responsive to concerns or queries.
