“1st Class”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 February 2012

This really is a boutique hotel. We arrived on Australia Day, and the guy on reception couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming, which is a great start. We had the family room which consisted of a "front door" leading to a corridor from which 2 separate locking rooms were located with a shared bathroom at the end. Both rooms were very well appointed, well decorated and comfortable. I really felt as if I was in a boutique hotel.

There is no parking on site, so you take you pot luck with what's available on the street. As it was Australia Day, this wasn't an issue for us as parking was free and plentiful then.

The breakfast is basic and taken in a shared kitchen/eating area on each floor. I was happy with the OJ and toast provided.

There was also free internet on the hotel computer located near reception. However, there is only one computer, and when we there, one guy hogged it continuously. I would suggest that the hotel put a polite notice beside it suggesting each user has a maximum of 15 minutes usage as I've seen done elsewhere.

The hotel location is excellent - near most of the tourist sites and easy walking distance to lots of restaurants and bars. We drove to the botanic gardens, which were reasonably close by, but it was very hot and we didn't have the energy to walk too far.

I would definitely recommend staying here.

“A Gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

Wow what can I say, I was really impressed with this hotel. We had been on a QM2 three night cruise from Fremantle to Adelaide. We were getting used to the size of the cabin as they are not huge but when I opened the door to my room (number 320) at the Adabco , it was like a ballroom so big. Everything was spotless and beautifully presented. We stayed two nights. The staff were excellent. I needed a wake up call for Sunday as we were going on a tour and this was attended to promptly and professionally. Breakfast is included with the tariff which included, juice,cereal, tinned fruit, toast with selection of spreads and tea or coffee. Very adequate. There is a kitchen on each floor which we did use, very clean and tidy with everything you need to cook or heat up whatever you are eating. About a five minute walk to I think it is Hutt street where there are restaurants and a couple of IGAs, which is handy, and about a 10-15 minute walk to the Rundle Mall. Also walked down to the Central Markets. Checkout was stress free and the chap at reception organised a taxi for us. Very well furnished, just like a home away from home. Would highly recommend.

“Nice big rooms”

Arrived late fair walk on a Thursday night for sometime to eat, nothing at hotel. No even a biscuit in the room.
Breakfast canned fruit, cornflakes, muesli and toast. For the money paid some fresh fruit, cheeses, yoghurt, meats etc that every other continental breakfast provides would have been nice.
Staff pleasant and helpful.

“Great value, very friendly & warm service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012 via mobile

I've been staying here regularly for a year while traveling for work, and this place is like a 2nd home. Rooms are very comfy for the price and the staff who run this seem to genuinely care about providing guests with a good stay. The kitchen facilities are excellent and free breakfast, hardly get that anywhere these days! Thanks to the hotel for looking after me for so long!

“Excellent value in Adelaide”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

Very nice, spacious room at a very reasonable price ($110 a night) which stayed very quiet even though we were there over the weekend. The guest kitchen and laundry is a very thoughtful touch. The breakfast was simple but quite sufficient for our needs- the only thing missing was non-instant coffee. Parking out the front from Saturday afternoon to Monday morning was free and easy. Location was good, close to Chinatown restaurants but still quiet. I would highly recommend this place for both short and longer stays in Adelaide.
