Hotel berhampiran Coolah Street Reserve, Adelaide

I’m so obsessed with this place, it honestly has got to be my favourite motel that I’ve ever stayed at. From the beginning the underground car park is a little confusing to find as it’s off a little side street with two little garage doors (not the hotels fault) it’s just the way the streets are. But when you walk out of those lifts into the lobby you’ll be blown away by just how modern and brand new it all is. We got a upgrade upon check in which was so nice and when we walked through the door my first words were “oh my gosh, this is beautiful” literally everything is so brand new, carpets are still so fluffy to walk on, everything was so clean, not even a speck of dust anywhere. Bed was comfortable, tv in living area and also in the bedroom was nice, I didn’t use them as I only stayed for 1 night but the dishwasher and washing machine would come in handy to so many families staying for a bit longer. And to top it off I didn’t hear a single thing from anyone else staying in the motel during the night. 100% will stay again and I reckon this has to be THE best accommodation in the whole of Adelaide

Excellent caravan park close to the heart of Adelaide. You can pretty much walk wherever you want and public transport is close by too. We visited many restaurants in the area plus the zoo and other landmarks. Very comfortable cabin and facilities at the park. Highly recommend.

The attention to detail was shown from when were greeted when we got out of the car and taken to reception.The location of the hotel was convenient to get to our business calls as well as walking distance to shops and restaurants.My only disappointment was the club access which l felt was not up to the Pullman standards we have experienced at other Pullman hotels. I would still recommend this hotel when staying in Adelaide.

Ibis Adelaide was a great location that was central to shops, groceries, transit, restaurants and cool sites. The hotel was clean and tidy. The room was bright. The air conditioning/heating feature was pleasant. Having a big screen tv in the room was nice for relaxing after a long day of site seeing. I will be sure to stay at Ibis hotels for my future travels

Well reviewed hotel, which we found disappointing. Firstly, on arrival (we arrived around 11am), at check-in we were told that our room wasn't ready so the receptionist after reminding us that check-in was at 3pm, stored away our luggage and promised to text us when the room was ready, we went for a walk, after having lunch, about 2.5 hours later, we went back and the room still wasn't ready, after an hours waiting in the reception area and watching guests checking in without any problem my wife (again) asked when our room was ready, her reply was that the room had been ready for some time and she thought that we were relaxing, so she didn't want to disturb us ( no text either) - really! Our stay was bed with breakfast, breakfast menu we thought was prescriptive, we had a choice of tea/coffee or orange juice couldn't have both as it was extra, throughout the breakfasts, chef found it impossible to fry an egg without charring it. The pool which is shown in the picture is small, get your fitness bunny in and that's it, then again we found it filthy, looking on the side wall there was a 2” (50mm) black, thick tide mark all around the inside of the pool and 'bits' on the floor so it seems cleanliness isn't top of the list, which comes to our room, nice sized and comfortable, but why the cleaner couldn't clean our room when he was either next door or the room facing was puzzling even though we put our tag on our door. A thing we found with regard to the reviews of this hotel I found that quite a few of these were people from Adelaide who not only gave this hotel 5 stars, but only ever did one review - hmm? The hotel is situated about a 10/15 minute walk from the centre of town and appeared to be a popular place to stay amongst the business fraternity

Great service. Amazing location, next to Victoria Square. Staffs are extremely helpful. Recommend to everyone who wants to have a quality holiday in Adelaide.

Decided to try he Arkaba Hotel bistro twice during my stay in Adelaide. I'm glad I did. Whilst this is a huge complex that has the bistro, pokies, sports bar and accomodation, it is a family friendly place that is well patronised. When I was there on a Friday and Sunday night, the dining room was bustling, with diners having a meal before theatre/comedy shows and birthday celebrations, in addition to the usual casual dining. On Friday night, I tried the sourdough garlic bread with cheese, which had some nice density to it, grilled to perfection with stretchy cheese. Then I had the beef schnitzel with mushroom sauce. The schnitzel was crunchy and I really liked the mushroom sauce - lots of mushrooms in a possible cream of mushroom soup base. Lots of crispy chips were on the plate too. When I went back on the Sunday, I had the Yoder smoked scotch fillet, once again with mushroom sauce. I didn't need the sauce, as the steak had a lovely Smokey flavour that stood on its own. I ordered mine medium, and it was cooked perfectly. The Caesar salad was fresh and tasty, and the dressing was not too heavy. The chips were crispy once again, but the only downside were the two onion rings, which could have done with a bit longer in the fryer. Meals are ordered and paid for at the register, with drinks purchased separately at the bar. Multiple televisions screens showing sport and select commercial stations are also present in the bistro. All in all, next time I visit Adelaide, I will be heading back to Arkaba Hotel for a meal.

Spend 4 days here during a hot spell. The room was on the second floor which was disappointing as there is no elevator and we are not spring chickens. Thankfully the lovely receptionist gave us a hand with the heavy bags. The living/bedroom was reasonably good. Bed was comfortable, fridge worked, glasses, cups, plates all in place. AC worked well but it was noisy. The room itself was adversely affected by road noise; the room looked out on the main (Portrush) road out the front. We left before 10:00AM each day, the room was made up on the first 2 days, it wasn't touched on the third. There were no supplies to wash your own dishes (scourer, tea towel, washing up liquid etc). The bathroom was a bit of a mixed bag, the shower itself was OK but one soap dispenser was half hanging off the wall. The toilet roll holder was being held together with blue tac (not very well I might add). There were no parking spots available when we returned after 12 midnight on NYE. Each room does not have a dedicated parking place. After the 4th day of hot weather, the bins that were placed near the entry doors reeked. The worst part of the whole experience however was the pool was closed during our stay due to some undisclosed maintenance issues that the owner had been unable to rectify - I gather - for some time. Another positive that should be mentioned, the laundry (one washer, one dryer) is free. Reception staff were friendly and helpful.

The Grand is without a doubt all about the location! Given it’s ocean front position it should offer an absolute premium experience but instead falls a little short as it continues to date without much sign of refurbishment. The rooms are basic, the carpets old, the furnishings aging and everything just feels in need of some love. Bathrooms still have showers over the bath with shower curtains and the air con in the room wasn’t very effective (too hot despite being on the coolest setting). There was also a wedding being hosted during my 1 night stay and despite my room being on the 5th floor (ballroom is on level 1), I could hear the band/music until the end of the reception at 11:30pm. On the positive (besides premium location), the staff at reception / concierge were excellent. They greeted with absolute care on arrival and happiness during check out, despite being early in the morning. It felt like they enjoyed what they did and that’s so good to see in customer facing roles. Worth considering this hotel for a stay, just as long as you’re happy with basic ammenities in a great location.

Booked table for 4 in Bistro on Tuesday for 12 noon lunch. Arrived 10 minutes early no problem and was shown to table overlooking the beach and Jetty. What a pearler day great weather great service and top class food. Drinks also varied and good value. Not sure which hotel some of the poor reviewers went to but it obviously wasn’t this one. Keep up the good work. We have rebooked to return in June for a bimonthly luncheon Regards Peter
