Excellent value, great location and very helpful staff.
Sure, the place is ageing and that shows, but it’s clean and adequate.
For the price I thought it was excellent and I’d happily stay again.

Room was clean except there was a decent amount of dust build up on the P trap under the sink. Room was a little out dated but no issues with that especially to the cheap price. shower pressure was nice. Beds were very comfortable. lots of cafes and a BWS close by. Would definitely stay again.

Unbeatable location - very good value for money!
Brilliant location, comfy beds. It was a great price for beachside accomodation in a gorgeous area of Adelaide, so its not perfect of course. We enjoyed our stay very much!

One night stopover
Our room was a bit dated but honestly it was great for the price (& we were told by the friendly staff that the hotel
accommodation is being upgraded soon). The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the shower was hot. We also enjoyed our meal in the bistro.
