“Worth Every Penny”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

My wife and I stayed here for a week in February 2011 and found it well within walking Distance of Rundle Mall and the Gouger St Food market ,and bus and tram stops,As for the restaurants
Gouger Street has them all ,you can eat Asian ,Italian ,Greek, or Thai Differently every night and well cooked ,
The One we didn't Enjoy Was the Massed Produced "Hungry Hog" never Again
their Steaks are more like Corned beef and cobbled together and the meals were cold ,even when sent back ,the Staff were of a take it or leave it Bent .
But the Thai Restaurant was more than Perfect ,and you have to book
Just one of the Outings we went on The Barrosa Valley all day Tour Penfolds, Wolff Blass, Saltash Seppletfields etc worth every Penny of that trip the Platters at the Vineyards were a meal in their own right ,and the Lunch Menu cooked to perfection Definitely do that again when we go back
The Staff at the Studios were Helpful and friendly ,You wont need Transfers to and from the Airport taxis are easy ,to hail and order ,JUST one thing make sure you tell your driver its the Break-free STUDIOS not Break-free Mecure

Room Tip: 2nd floor No problems

“Nice but no more”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011

Nice, but no more. Clean room, not that big. We were in a separate building from the main one. No elevator, rooms on first floor.
On our visit the toilet would flush, but that was solved in the evening after mentioning.
Rooms are renovated and clean. Airco could use a new filter, a lot of dust in the unit visible.

“Good location & clean”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011

In a very handy location, with clean and well furnished units including iron & alarm clock

My only real complaint would be that the doors are not soft closing and not well sealed with large gaps below, which means that when someone leaves early or come home late, the door slamming is really disturbing to sleep, unless you are a night owl? The other downside is only a microwave for cooking and detest this method for many reasons. It would be helpful and easy to install an electric 2 pot burner.

Staff were helpful on front desk & gave me lots of tips, including use of free bus & tram around town which I would not have even know about...but it is also easy to get around many places on foot due to location.

The Thai restaurant next door is also a good place to eat too.

Room Tip: Rooms off main road at the back are quieter from street noise, but to be honest, you can't reall...

“Much better on the inside the on the outside”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

My wife and I stayed here in October of 2011. We arrived after dark and were a little afraid because the neighborhood is a little dark. We were quite pleasantly surprised. The rooms, though a little small, are clean and comfy. The ladies working the desk are friendly and very helpful. They even went out of there way to find us a bus to the Barossa Valley.

Just a long block away is a very trendy area with many good restaurants.

If you aren't looking for luxurious 5 star accommodations but are looking for a reasonably priced, comfortable, clean hotel, this should be your choice in Adelaide.

“Great Value”

A great location. Within comfortable walking distance to the fabulous market, restaurants and Rundle Mall. Our room was comfortable with everything you needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Staff were very helpful. You would be hard pushed to find better value for money. Would stay again when we come back to Australia.
