If the service in the dining room is anything to go by, don't even think about staying in a room here. Ordered food at 6.32pm... the two diners who ordered directly in front of us received their meals at 6.46pm... at 7.05pm after watching 3-5 bar staff including the apparent manager stand around behind the bar for most of the...

The Submarine Association Australia, South Australia Branch, regularly meet here at least twice per year and on each and every occasion we find the hotel staff friendly and efficient. The food is of good quality and always great value, even table service is provided when we have a dining function. Plenty of parking on-street, nearby and across the road in... More

We booked a room here, not expecting anything flash, but clean and comfortable for the price. When we saw the room we were shocked to find the bed was unstable, terrible quality, no way I could have slept on it. The sheets were clean and looked fairly new, but the 1 very thin cover was coloured brown with age and... More

This is a lovely traditional old hotel built in the 1800's with long wide verandahs on the top floor and a cute little beer garden out by the road side. The staff were friendly and helpful and I always saw the cleaner in the mornings changing the sheets and doing the bathrooms. However this is where the cuteness ends. I... More

it cheap and does the job, was in town for one night and wanted somewhere cheap , rooms are old but comfortable , bathrooms (communal) again basic and OLD. I have no complaints with the staff and food etc downstairs, if you book, expect a typical country style pub accomodation - rustic !

called in for dinner with 2 friends before a show at the Her Majesty's Theatre next door (its also across the road from the Adelaide Central Market). I had the eye fillet steak which was good although it came with a potato bake but no greens, reasonable quality piece of meat though for the money & cooked well. My friends... More

This is the worst place i have ever stayed. Totally overpriced for what it is. The rooms are grubby and filthy. Even a simple place could do with a bit cleaning. My room smelled like cigartetts. It was very very noisy. I was woken up up 1:30 am with over an hour of loud music even that the pub was... More

Half the price (which means more TA to spend on drinks) but really comfortable pub accom. I was there for 4 nights total. Both rooms I had were similar and comfortable.

It's an old building, full of character and very basic accommodation. The rooms do get very hot in a summer night and you can't really leave the balcony doors open because it's a shared balcony and the noise is just to loud. The bathrooms are shared and were ok for us. The best thing about this place are the people... More
