    Having to take luggage up the stairs, no lift, but staff more than happy to help and move luggage for you, even if you are leaving early, so not really a problem, just a matter of telling them you will need help.

    Bathroom large and clean, good towels. Room size was good, tea and coffee facilities etc. were good, bag of goodies which nice touch, television good and big, staff very friendly and helpful, always checking everything was ok, Chicken Salad for dinner in dining room absolutely excellent.

    The only thing was that the hotel doesn’t open until 11am, which made it difficult for storing luggage when we arrived early in the first day but the staff were great and helped us out.

    Clean, funky and spacious room. Good location within walking distance to key venues and transport. Friendly and helpful staff

    Being across from the bus terminal it was a little noisy but it didn’t detract too much from the enjoyment of staying there. Shower head didn’t work well, maybe need replacing.

    Charming Aussie pub in the heart of Adelaide. Small but fun room design. Great front bar with quality food. Free mini bar and snacks in room wow. Staff were brilliant really attentive and friendly.

    Good location, the pub downstairs served excellent food and when we were in our room we really couldn't hear the pub at all. The staff were helpful and friendly. I loved the fact they had a little book swap area as well - leave a book, take a book.

    Stairs up to room might be a challenge for older people but I managed ok!

    The hotel is charming and olde worldy ...but looks to be popular with younger people. Pleasant staff showed me to my room, which was boutique styled, explaining the coffee machine and fridge contents were complementary. Nice touch... Tried a couple of drinks, and bottled water for hot drink was handy. Also had a goody bag of snacks which was a nice surprise. I didn't eat there as was going to footy but looked to have a good choice of food. Very handy to transport to get to Adelaide Oval, on bus/tram ( could walk, but a bit far at night) and theres a free tram to shopping in the mall. Opposite Adelaide bus terminal which was handy for me, being from the country. Pleasant stay.

    There is a quite long staircase which is a nuisance when taking luggage upstairs but assistance is available to take heavy luggage up or down which is great. No drawers or cupboard in the bedroom for storing clothing.

    The hotel could be better described as a pub with rooms (just 6 in total). Room 5 is a bit on the small side but as a solo traveller, absolutely fine and the bathroom was enormous. The pub downstairs had an excellent selection of drinks and a varied food menu. The hotel is directly opposite Adelaide bus station which was one of my reasons for choosing it.
