“Stopover short stay at Adelaide”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

We take a stopover stay at Adelaide 2 weeks ago. Weather is fine and really hot. We choose this hotel cus it is quite near the central market. Hotel is about 2 blocks from the market and china town. Reception is very small and we park out rental car in front of it. The staff is helpful but she told us the hotel rooms is in the building across the narrow alley and we thought it is a bit weird. Hotel rooms are nice but small. Air-con is sufficient even though the outside temp is 32C. There is NO breakfast and restaurant in this hotel and we walk to the Bergen King which is about 200M from the hotel next to a petrol station. If you drive, make sure you have a parking space for your car cus there is only few spaces avail. We think we paid only AUD120/night for this hotel for short stay is fine and no surprise.

Used this hotel for a short stay in Adelaide. Totally comfortable room with laundry facilities nearby room. Within walking distance of loads of good eating places and market which is amazing. Recommend Cafe at top of Gouger Street for breakfast and also for Gypsy cocktail. Argentinian restaurant has steaks to die for.Would recommend.

“Worth Every Penny”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

My wife and I stayed here for a week in February 2011 and found it well within walking Distance of Rundle Mall and the Gouger St Food market ,and bus and tram stops,As for the restaurants
Gouger Street has them all ,you can eat Asian ,Italian ,Greek, or Thai Differently every night and well cooked ,
The One we didn't Enjoy Was the Massed Produced "Hungry Hog" never Again
their Steaks are more like Corned beef and cobbled together and the meals were cold ,even when sent back ,the Staff were of a take it or leave it Bent .
But the Thai Restaurant was more than Perfect ,and you have to book
Just one of the Outings we went on The Barrosa Valley all day Tour Penfolds, Wolff Blass, Saltash Seppletfields etc worth every Penny of that trip the Platters at the Vineyards were a meal in their own right ,and the Lunch Menu cooked to perfection Definitely do that again when we go back
The Staff at the Studios were Helpful and friendly ,You wont need Transfers to and from the Airport taxis are easy ,to hail and order ,JUST one thing make sure you tell your driver its the Break-free STUDIOS not Break-free Mecure

Room Tip: 2nd floor No problems

“Nice but no more”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011

Nice, but no more. Clean room, not that big. We were in a separate building from the main one. No elevator, rooms on first floor.
On our visit the toilet would flush, but that was solved in the evening after mentioning.
Rooms are renovated and clean. Airco could use a new filter, a lot of dust in the unit visible.
