“Overnight Family Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

The Arkaba is the perfect place for a family over night stay. We stayed in the Penthouse Suite and the room was great. The spa helped us relax after a long day in Adelaide.

“Regular”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

My wife and I spend several night per year at the Arkaba. It is convienient to the city and also the freeway. The rooms are very comfortable but we have been given the cheaper rooms when we booked through Wotif and they definately need a bit of work. The meals are very good and value for money.

Thank you for your review. We have several different room types available to book on both Wotif and our website and the room you should have been allocated should have been the room type you booked?
Please let us know if this did not happen.
I am assuming you stayed in a standard room, and I agree that whilst comfortable and clean, they are in need of a revamp and I can tell you we are starting on one of the standard rooms in 2 weeks time and then moving to the rest.
May be try a deluxe room next time?

“family fly by”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

stayed here because it was close to a family function, the stay was ok, just what you would expect for the price. The staff were polite and helpful but the venue below sadly dragged the quality of the hotel down to average. We were accosted by a drunken 40 year old woman who promptly farted at our table and wished us well with the lingering fragrance.

Room Tip: as high as possible away from the night club

Hmm difficult to know what to say! I do apologise if you found one of our clients behaviour unacceptable – but when you return to the Ark and have an issue with a poorly behaved fellow guest – please inform the manager or reception so we can deal with the issues promptly

“Regular stay”

I have stayed at the Arkaba a few times, this is always my first choice when I am in Adelaide. The rooms are very comfortable and homey, attention to detail is definatly apparent. The Arkaba is not just a play to stay but a great place for some quality pub grub. Going to miss those comedy nights every wednesday!
Overall the place has got a great atmosphere, relaxed, comfortable with staff that always greet you with a smile!

“Business Trip”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2011

person found this review helpful

What a fantastic hotel. I was recommended to stay by a business contact, My first stay will not be my last. After a busy day at work, I found the hotel warm and welcoming. Meals entertainment are all under one roof, no need to leave the hotel to find somewhere to eat or drink. I believe the hotel offers entertainment most nights of the week, I found this quite relaxing The staff went out of their way to make me feel comfortable, and they even remembered my name.Very impressed

Room Tip: The reception staff helped me with Faxes, Photocopies and printing my boarding pass
