The hotel offers nice and cozy rooms, comfortably spacious for short or longer stays, though it can be quite noisy at times, which was unexpected based on prior trips. The service was varied, with some staff being extremely helpful and accommodating while others struggled to provide satisfactory solutions. The location is ideal for those wanting easy access to central amenities and tourist spots, with minor concerns about safety during nighttime. The dining experience, although good at a nearby cafe, lacked on-site choices. Overall, a decent choice for a stay with a mix of positive and negative aspects to consider.

The hotel had a lot going for it, with spacious rooms featuring floor-to-ceiling windows offering amazing views and a separate kitchen and dining area with a balcony to enjoy some fresh air. However, the actual room size fell short of expectations based on photos.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were amazing, very clean, and modern, equipped with most items you would need for an apartment. However, the kitchen utensils were a little sparse, and the absence of a freezer in the bar fridge was not what I expected. The main bedroom being close to the elevators was a minor inconvenience, and I noticed some hairs from the previous guest in the shower room. Despite these small drawbacks, the hotel was clean and tidy.

The hotel is clean, comfortable, but needs an update. The pool was very cold with too much chlorine in the spa, making it uncomfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful, making check-in and check-out easy. The location is right in the city within walking distance to all that Adelaide offers, but seemed a little dodgy at night.

I found the hotel to be quite nice overall. The rooms were comfortable but lacked proper ventilation and cooling. The location was a bit distant but offered beautiful views. The service was good with courteous and helpful staff. The dining options were limited to a nearby cafe. The facilities were adequate but lacking some essentials.
Rooms

The room I stayed in was at the front close to the entrance, which affected ventilation and cooling. It took a while to cool down, especially in the lounge area. The bedding on the single beds was average, and the air conditioning didn't work efficiently. More amenities like washing powder, detergent, and cleaning cloths would have been helpful though.
