Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers rooms with great views and a neat shower. The shower with the queen-size bed was a comfortable touch, although the bed being approximately 18 inches off the ground was a bit unusual. The price was fair considering the quality of the accommodation.
The hotel's location is really convenient, close to everything you need, but the service at the reception desk was a bit disappointing with one rude staff member. The rooms are comfortable and well-equipped, but the toilet issue was quite bothersome. The dining options varied, catering to different tastes, but lacked gluten-free choices. The facilities were average, not outstanding but sufficient for a pleasant stay.
The hotel is conveniently located in the city centre with easy access to public transport. The rooms offer a double bed but have issues with the toilet continually filling. The service, particularly at the reception desk, was mixed with one staff member being rude. The dining options provide sufficient food variety, although the coffee quality is low. Overall, it offers average value for money considering the drawbacks.
I found this hotel to be right in the heart of central Adelaide, with an alleyway entrance that may not be the most inviting. The room had a few quirks like the bed being off the ground, but it was clean and had a double bed. The standout was the incredibly rude staff member at the reception desk, which put a damper on the whole stay. The dining options were limited, although the rate was reasonable. The location was convenient for exploring the city center, despite the alleyway being a bit dingy.
