If you want to save money this place is ok, but make sure you bring ear plugs as it's very noisy. It's clean and comfortable and located close to everything. If you can afford more money I'd stay somewhere else but but if trying to save it's ok, still over priced for what it is though. Staff were polite and professional.

The Cosmo on Bank lives up to its reputation, the location is second to none. We stayed for a cricket trip and I would recommend this place to any group who wants a cheap place to rest their head for 3 hours a day. The room we had was actually clean compared to some Google reviews. Our room had no toilet paper but with one simple request to the helpful man at the front desk there was 2 rolls waiting for us when we got back from a night out
There was fruit flies everywhere inside. The good things were the air con and the bed wasnt bad. But we couldnt get extra bedding due to a shortage and we could here a lot of arguing in other rooms.
Location was good for our needs. Property very run down and in need of repairs, compared to photos on booking site. Wasn’t cleaned very well. Weekend staff very incompetent, was pleasant enough but slow and made mistakes.
The location is excellent, with public transportation right at the doorstep and proximity to everything. However, the listing as an 'apartment' might be misleading. While the beds were clean, the refrigerator was completely iced over, no cooking facilities and basic cutlery was missing. Additionally, the apartment had noticeable stains on the walls and floors, and the windows were obscured and filthy. Receptionist was kind and helpful.
The hotel is placed in a very useful location and the service was good. However the cleanliness and overall state of the room was terrible. King bed was torn and mattress springs sticking out. Bed sheets not clean and I suspected bed bugs after waking up with bites. Our key did not have a tag to get in after hours and would have to buzz an intercom to get in.

Reasonable for price
I booked this for my daughter and her friends for her 18th birthday. The main reason for choosing this hotel was the amount of beds vs price and location. The room was able to comfortably sleep 6 and had 2 large couches if required. The room was very spacious, air conditioning worked well and had everything they needed, it is just quite old and in need of a reno. The manager was very friendly and accommodating, I was able to bring balloons before check in and set up the room for the birthday. It was very noisy as the other reviews suggest. As the girls were out most of the night it wasn’t a big issue, and they had their check out time extended (complimentary) to 12pm to give them a chance to sleep in once the noise died down. The girls had a great night, the beds were comfortable and everything was clean. It’s not the greatest hotel, but it was fine for what they needed.

Very basic hotel with a convenient location.
I visited Adelaide for an exhibition at the AGSA and booked this hotel as it was close & affordable. I can understand why some people might have given it 2 stars. It's definitelly in need of some TLC and there are pretty much no facilities. Not even a toilet in reception, so you need to go before you check out. I was on the 4th floor and didn't have any of the noise issues others have mentioned. It was a Wednesday night however, and the streets were pretty quiet. It might be worse on a weekend. The staff were friendly enought. The location is definitely the best thing about this hotel. It served it's purpose for my needs on this visit.
The hotel is close to shops, transport and places to eat which was very convenient. Price to stay was cheap and staff provided us with a fob for late access after we asked for one.
The hotel supplied no toilet paper or tea and coffee, we had to buy our own, even after staff assured us some would be supplied. It was hard to sleep with the noise of 3 bars and people shouting, and even fighting, in the street until 3am every night. Then the street sweeper goes through at 5am and there was no noise reduction at all.
Facilities were basic and the bathroom fan didn't work. The shower screen showed visible mold and the chairs were stained.
The broken window of the vacant reception and the reek of vomit in the lift should be a warning to back away.
Ceiling tiles broken, flickering fluro tubes, a smashed ironing board, leaking toilet that refilled every 20min, paper thin curtains that cover some of these window and peeling paint on the rest, patrons off their heads on drugs raiding the vending machine downstairs - the list goes on.
And just so noisy from inside and out.
The cleaners had made an effort to do the traditional fold the triangle on the toilet paper for the five squares left on the roll...
But on the plus side the linen was clean and the bed was comfortable enough.

The hotel was in the process of being updated and renovated, so there was 'stuff' along the corridors and in rooms. My room was clean and comfortable but obviously still not completed - there were no bulbs in the bedside lamps, which were obviously brand new. The mirror in the bathroom was so high up that all I could see was the top of my head. Thankfully there was another mirror in the room. Once the renovations are completed I think the room and the rest of the hotel will be excellent.
