I asked for a high level apartment and got level 2 only. There were dickheads doing burnouts beside our room at 3 in the morning, then the tradies started making a heap of noise at 7.00am. Unlikely I’ll stay here ever again

Dear Paul,Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay.It is disappointing that we were unable to assist with your request of a higher level. We will always try to accommodate requests however these are based on availability. If you would like a high floor we suggest you book one of the skyview apartments vs a standard apartment as these are guaranteed to be on a higher level.Kind RegardsHotel Management

Poor quality, old hotel.
Family of 4, staying for 3 nights. Our room overlooked a derelict building next door. Room was very dated. Carpet was grey and old, blinds were broken. The TV was old and had lines running through the screen (not HD, no streaming services, old Foxtel box, no on demand). The spa wasn't working. The room wasn't serviced at all while we were there. Wouldn't stay again.

Great location - close to Adelaide Central Markets and a pleasant walk to Rundle Mall and restaurants. Our unit was on the top floor and view was spectacular. Everything in the unit was neat, tidy and clean. Was a little on the small side for 2 adults and 2 older teenagers. It was noisy at night and early morning - bar/ club near ground floor, intoxicated people shouting in adjacent walkways, neighbouring building sites. In the common areas and lifts there was a strong constant smell of cigarette smoke - which personally disliked the most.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The room was appropriate for our needs, with ample space for the 3 of us and was comfortable for a multi day stay. The balcony with opening/closing windows was a pleasant surprise. The washer/dryer was extremely helpful after a multi state trip. The common area facilities - pool, spa, sauna, steam room were a welcome addition. Security was paramount for the building, with access only via tags at all points. The only issue we had was the discovery of used false eyelashes in the bathroom cupboard. We would gladly stay again.

The property was within walking distance to public transport & it suited our needs as I was travelling with friends & the beds were all singles .The only downside was that we stayed on a Saturday night & there was a nightclub behind the building that played loud music until after midnight.If you just needed a room for the night it would be suitable & the it was very affordable.

One lift didn't work (due to a critical part failure)and there were notices saying that the stairwell could be used in the interim (this was during the 3 days of our stay) but this only happened half the time. We were stuck in the fire stairs at least 3 occasions during our stay so had to back track around the property alot. It's important to hold your nerve when using the stairwell just in case you do become stuck. My tip is to be resourceful and try the next available door. Pool and recreation facilities were excellent and the best Brazillian restaurant around the corner. Also a red stain in the hallway of our apartment so bring slippers just in case.
