Pros:

Right opposite the Adelaide Bus Station, so excellent location to get to early coach pick up.

Cons:

The hotel is more a 'pub with accommodation', rather than a hotel. It is not a "boutique" hotel, is not called the Franklin Boutique any longer, just "The Franklin Hotel"....

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,
