In the North Adelaide district of Adelaide, close to Adelaide Oval, Majestic M Suites has a fitness centre and a washing machine. Free WiFi is available throughout the property and private parking is available on site. The aparthotel features family rooms as well as facilities for disabled guests.

Fantastic suites, big, very clean and comfortable. A real luxury. We have been there with 2 children twice, in total for 8 nights and we felt immediately like at home. The location in north Adelaide is great, close to many restaurants and caffès, 25min walk from the city center. Super friendly and helpful staff. We could leave part of our luggages in the hotel for free for 2 weeks when we were traveling south Australia in a motorhome. Washing machine and tumbler in the apartment. We would definitively stay at Majestic again.

Peninsula Hotel Motel has an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre, a restaurant and bar in Adelaide. The property is around 1.6 km from Largs Beach, 2.8 km from Snowden Beach and 5.8 km from South Australian Maritime Museum. Free WiFi and an ATM are available.

Absolutely lovely place. Clean, bright, good location to train station, which ran straight into Adelaide CBD. Also Largs, which is a beautiful beach. The pool was heated, and the gym was neat and all in working order. The bar is lovely, big and friendly staff. All the staff are so friendly, and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms were huge, and felt very new. Good amount of tea and coffee supplied. Fridge was a good size. Extra pool towels were supplied. The bed was huge and very comfortable. TV in the room was also big. I would recommend this place.

    The room was very clean and the bed very comfortable. The check in process was smooth, although impersonal. The location was excellent. Walking distance to Coles, top restaurants and cafes, and Glenelg Beach. The mini bar was very inexpensive. Only $7 for a can of beer. Only 2 beers though.

    Location ideal. The fact that reception was only open from 0900hrs to 2130hrs could be a problem if flights were delayed, etc. My room was showing signs of age but very clean and tidy. No bottled water or biscuits.

    Spotlessly clean, very comfortable, room service for breakfast was better (and a lot cheaper) than the 5-star hotel we stayed in previously. We booked for 2 nights even though we were leaving for a holiday at 5pm on the second day. Was a great affordable option when you can't get a late checkout.

    Haven Marina is opposite Colley Reserve and the Patawalonga River. 500 metres walk to restaurants and cafes, 12 minutes walk to Jetty Road. It's about $100 cheaper per night than its closest rivals, but you get what you pay for! However, the bed was very comfortable, the shower was hot, our room was very clean and some of the furniture had been replaced. The staff are friendly and polite. We will keep staying there as it's within our budget, everywhere else is expensive!

    Great location, being slight out of the main CBD it’s quieter but all the main attractions are still walkable given the flat terrain: museum, art gallery, botanical garden, etc. public transport is also close by so trips out of the CBD is easy and inexpensive. Staff are fantastic, very professional and lovely to deal with. Room was spotless and basic amenities worked well. Price was great value especially since I was a solo traveller.

    We always enjoy our stay at The Terrace (formerly Sage) The bed was very comfortable. Clean room. We like the location and cheap parking. The shower over bath isn’t ideal, but not a problem for us. Value for money makes this a very affordable, pleasant stay
