Only needed a bed to sleep on for a couple of night and I didn’t really know anyone in Adelaide and didn’t know what to expect with Booking this hotel but it was affordable.

Older Style but Nice
Older but quaint in its own way it was indeed a pleasant stay.
Very hospitable and friendly management agdd but clean and well kept premise.
Could do with a 20th Century Face lift but quite pleasant overall.
Clean, friendly and professional service.
"Why is it so cheap?"
The building and decor are 'outdated'- hence the price.
Well maintained, clean, practical layout.
Well located. Great budget friendly option.
States on website that toiletries are provided however had to ask for shampoo and conditioner and at $122pn you would expect it to be provided automatically.
Rooms are serviced daily, towels were soft and bedding was comfortable.
Steve - the owner is lovely.

We did not turn up in SA.
Sometimes circumstances change like in our case. I cannot see why at least part of money couldnt be refunded...it is after all pushing a button on a computer.
Will be now going in a few weeks but will probably stay elsewhere....and maybe wont book in advance
Easy access & parking on site.
Simple and basic but comfortable enough for a night or two to lay your head & have a shower.
Having just flown in from Sydney late in the evening being able to access the room immediately was great.
The booking was a last minute thing as we had a quick trip into town to catch up with friends. The room was nothing flash, but it was clean, the shower hot and the bed comfortable. Also as we were getting there late the owner was very amicable in making it easy to pick up the room key. Great place to stay in Glenelg.
The mattress was very uncomfortable (both the double and single mattresses were extremely soft), room was a lot smaller than indicated in the ad and the sliding door to the ensuite sounded like a freight train on rough tracks which wakes your partner when you are using the bathroom in the middle of the night.
It's like stepping back in time. The room service lady was rude when we asked for fresh towels by replying "we only replaced the towels yesterday" very rudely. The bathroom was extremely small and very out dated. Toilet was loose on the floor. I highly recommend staying elsewhere and pay the extra money for better rooms and staff behaviour.
We had been abused and screamed at by cleaners and other hotel staff and called names for no reason. We were also violently abused by the owner and also grabbed very aggressive out of the car we were in. It is not a safe place to stay at.
