Pros:

There over Gather Round. The staff were friendly, rooms great. Liked the little extras eg complementary snacks and drinks in the mini bar. Should be noted that you need to walk up stairs. Would definitely book again. This was my second visit.

Loved it! - would definitely recommend.
Pros:

Friendly staff, very clean, good location for exploring Adelaide. Loved the veranda where you could sit outside. Comfy bed, powerful shower.

Cons:

The room was a little bit dark, but that was a minor issue and didn’t detract from our stay.

Overpriced shoe box. Waste of money.
Pros:

Clean room, comfy bed.

Cons:

Overpriced!! Shoe box sized room, bed and bathroom with big screen TV. I’ve never stayed anywhere that didn’t have a microwave - the mini bar is free - free beer because they only want you to pay for a pub meal and drink a lot before retiring to your overpriced shoe box room,

Was ok. Not as per booking.com ad
Cons:

Nothing like the photos. Air conditioner was temperamental. Shower set up was all wrong with water spraying over the entire bathroom

Clean and quiet with good facilities.
Pros:

Very convenient location. Clean, looked nice. Quiet.

Cons:

What appeared to be a large bed was 2 single beds pushed together and hard framework in the middle. There was a step up to the bathroom of about 3cm which was a (toe stubbing/trip) hazard particularly at night.

Loved the old pub and staff were great.
Pros:

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.

Cons:

Unfortunately the area was very noisy and was woken before 6.00am with possible rubbish collection. Also our bed base was very noisy and should be replaced. Could also do with a shelf in the bathroom as there is nothing to put your toiletries on.

Pros:

Great location, comfortable beds, free mini bar and free street parking,

Cons:

Minor issues given we’ve stayed there 5 times: room 4 has issues with the shower tile angle so water pools all over the floor of the bathroom, and while there are blinds the street lights shine though the sides.
