Will definitely consider this again for a short stay in Adelaide. Very funky place with big rooms!
Pros:

The rooms are wonderfully designed and very funky. Large too! I loved the special touches: goodie bag & a fridge with "free" extra's to enjoy. Super friendly bar staff who went beyond to help.

Cons:

My coffee machine didn't appear to work!! Whaaaaaaaa. Also not a lot of bench / storage space in the bathroom for toiletries or to get yourself ready. Everything else was great.

Comfortable, clean and good value for money!
Pros:

It was comfortable, clean and central. The owner went the extra mile by keeping a suitcase for 10 days while we travelled which, apparently, is not the norm!
