Food and atmosphere were fantastic, funky cool place

Anthony Australia

Really liked the room and mini bar. It was quiet. Enjoyed the balcony at sunset. Staff were very friendly.

Samuel Australia

The pub downstairs was excellent- had a steak for dinner and it was so delicious!! The rooms are comfortable and very boutique and stylish. I loved the little extra touches- complimentary drinks and some snacks were so welcoming! Streaming from mobile to the TV is always a winner too :)

Thi Australia

Comfortable bed, lovely bathroom, perfectly clean, and no noise from the pub. Stayed for 6 nights for a work trip. Great having a Nespresso pod machine in the room to make a coffee before work. Great location - easy walk to any CBD location. Beautiful Adelaide Park Lands nearby for a longer walk/jog.

Felicity Australia

Great place to stay- especially love the free drinks and treats in the room.

Gail United States of America

Rooms were over a craft beer pub which was why I originally picked this unique property. Our room was clean and the staff friendly. Beds super comfy. We were provided milk on our arrival and a Nespresso and frother in the room. Perfect for a single person with a small suite case.

Debra United States of America

We loved it so much we stayed again after our tour. Really nice and helpful staff.

Michelle United States of America

It was a quaint place that was a wonderful surprise. We picked it because it was close to the tour pick up point but we were very happy with the staff and the rooms. Very comfortable and clean.

Michelle United States of America

The freebies were awesome: water, beer, apple cider, coke, coffee machine and pods as well as snacks!! The bathroom was huge with a big tub, reverse cycle airconditioning warmed the room which was also huge. The location was perfect for the Adelaide Central bus station as I merely had to walk across the street. Additionally, the Central Market (food and many other items) and Coles supermarket were a short block over. The food in the hotel downstairs was superb! I enjoyed a fantastic Red Duck and Lychee Curry with rice and the best naan bread I have ever eaten! Staff were friendly and helpful and assisted me with my bag as there is no lift to go upstairs. There is a summer courtyard that looked inviting, despite my winter stopover.

Narelle Australia
