“Loved the old pub and staff were great.”
Loved the old pub and new renovation and decor. I liked the added extras in the room, gift bag and drinks. Also enjoyed the food down stairs and the convenience of that. Easy walk into Rundle Mall.

“Comfortable stay in Adelaide”
Clean and comfortable place to stay in Adelaide for a few nights. We appreciated the snacks and drinks available in the room. Our room was quite large with a large bathroom and tub with separate shower. Very strong water pressure in the shower. Located nearby many sites in Adelaide and lots of restaurants and bars in the area.

“Charming and friendly small hotel.”
Very friendly staff that gave us a warm and helpful reception and showed the room. The hotel is a typical older Australian pub with a few rooms. Our room was nicely renovated with a charming mixture of old and new. The location is very close to public transport and airport transfer as well as centrally located in the business district. Perfect location if you are taking a Kangaroo Island tour as the bus leaves early in the morning and the bus station is across the street. There are lots of restaurants in the area. We had dinner twice at the very nice pub that is the main part of the business. Please try their "Frank's Dogs" one of the best sausages you can find, I had it both nights. Please note that this is not full service hotel but a Pub with seven rooms. However, a big hotel does not have this level of charm and friendliness.

“Not a boutique hotel, more like a hostel without the cooking facilities.”
