The staff in reception/ bar were great, and we appreciated the couple of beers and other free goodies in the room. The bathroom was well equipped and spotless. You couldn’t beat the location, one block from the market, and close to the tram stop.

  • Fantastic location close to the Central market. Rooms are small but spotlessly clean and have a well equipped bathroom.

  • An incredibly unprofessional, uninviting, and unsafe experience that ruined my time in Adelaide.
