Central, friendly staff, not very professional when answering the phone, found mouse poo on the bed the morning after we slept in the bed. Lovely cool room to arrive to, spacious rooms, relaxed environment.

Hi peter, thanks for taking the time to give some feedback. We are an old hotel that is getting a little face lift (painting etc) in May later on this year! You will have to come and see us once it is done.

We were in room 508 for two nights and it was very very noisy in the lane way all the night . When we came back we were in 502 very nice room and not noisy at all. The room was that little bit better condition than 508. looked like they had up graded the room and facilities. Even the air condition was very quiet. We could not use the one in 508 to old and noisy.

Hi Karen, we're glad you liked room 502. 508 is one of our standard family rooms while 502 is a deluxe family room, hence the difference :-) We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Not comfortable sleep.
There was a problem with the Toilet system. There were massive noise coming from Toilet. We just could not sleep at all. We checked with them and they said the building is very old and they know about this problem. Rather than catching a earlier flight we wanted to have a comfortable sleep which did not happen. Not happy with that.

Hello M, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and to share valuable feedback with us. This is a heritage property and the building practices of 100 years ago certainly can't hold a candle to what's done today. We have listened to guests' feedback and have begun offering complimentary earplugs at reception for our guests who are sensitive to noise.Thank you again for sharing your feedback, and we hope that you enjoyed your stay other than the noisy plumbing.

I have stayed at Paringa a number of times over the years. It is well situated for my purposes when visiting Adelaide, being as it is in the centre of the city. The room was spotlessly clean, as was the bathroom. Comfortable bed. Manageress and staff very friendly and helpful. I recommend it and will definitely stay there again.

Nothing Fancy but a wonderful stay
Our stay was great. As soon as we arrived we were greeted with a huge smile from Heather. She was super friendly and welcoming. We got to our room and it was very spacious! It had a huge bath for the kids too. A bar fridge, kettle, smart TV, etc. everything we needed. The sheets were fresh crisp & white! You do get what you pay for, however, our stay for fantastic for what we paid. The hotel was nothing fancy but honestly we never spend much time in a hotel room whilst on holidays, we’re too busy exploring. So as long as it’s clean & comfortable we are happy. Staying here was great. We will book again. Thank you

Terrible experience. Checked out and was double charged still no refund as of yet Sheet had holes in it, water system not great and dirty. Also with late check in, the staff did not bother to answer the phones after 5pm which was very stressful. The direcrions were not sent out until we were waiting outside for half an hour and another guest let us in.

First class choice for a reasonably priced stay.
Well located in central adelaide. Reception area is dated, but our 5th floor room was spacious, comfortable, quiet, with a good shower and strong wifi. Heather, the live in manager, was exceptionally helpful, even at a late after hours check in. Excellent choice for a reasonably priced stay.

Hi Renee, thank you for your feedback. The location of Adelaide Paringa is certainly great! Can't get more central than that!! Pricing fluctuates depending on what events are happening in the city, so sometimes can be more expensive than other times. We really cherish our staff and their positive attitudes, so thank you for highlighting that :-)

The room was clean and didn’t smell but is very tired. The bathroom door is bent out of shape and didn’t close properly. Due to the location and the lack of double glazing, every noise from Hindley St could be heard. If you were spending the weekend in the city partying and just needed a bed to crash I once the partying was over, this would be perfect.

Our room was large and clean but the whole property is very tired. It needs repairs, paint, new carpets and double glazing. Our room fronted the street and the street noise on Friday and Saturday was horrendous. Ask reception and they'll give you some earplugs. It is a very convenient location for the city centre but don't expect much sleep. I would only stay here if you are on a tight budget.

Hi Craig, thank you for taking the time to write your review. We agree that the property is feeling a bit tired, so we have recently rolled out an active maintenance program which includes updating fixtures and painting all rooms. Hopefully your next visit will be more pleasant.

For the price it was ok however what let it down was the bottom sheet on my bed had not been changed. Maybe an oversight by cleaners but not nice to pull back the covers and see a wrinkled sheet that had clearly been slept in by someone else along with fluff and hair and bits and pieces. Odd that the top sheet was fresh

The property is right near Rundle Mall. There is convenient paid parking across the road. The staff were super helpful at reception. Downsides are that the property needs a bit of renovation. The area is not the nicest and an experience of its own. The sound from the street outside echoes into the room at night. We wanted an affordable place to sleep - we got this. If we wanted a hotel to hang out at, then this is not the place.
