Adelaide Paringa

Great location for a night out with your friends and excellent value for money. Kind staff and comforting rooms, we were more than accommodated for with adequate towels, soaps and utilities.

Despite having stayed here numerous times before, my friends did notice a few minor stains in the bathtub and discoloured water initially coming from the bathroom sink.

Staff are very welcoming especially G. She is very helpful.

The aircon unit - need to upgrade to split type

Adelaide Paringa does not pretend to be a luxury hotel and not all of us want that. If you are on a budget this is a sensational hotel in a sensational location. Step out of the hotel and you find yourself in Gilbert Place, look left; you see the famous Pancake Kitchen, walk right a few metres and step on to nightlife hotspot "Hindley Street". On the corner is a great cafe from there a short walk sees you on the famous Bee Hive Corner. Festival Centre, Cricket Ground, Rundle Mall and notable CBD landmarks and parks are all in walking distance. The hotel can help organise tours and shuttle to the airport. Heather on the front desk was fantastic. We arrived late and the intercom support for the after hours entry was brilliant. There was a small issue with the bathroom and the hotel responded promptly in the morning when I requested service. The room was clean and comfortable and equipped with iron and the standard hotel fare. You can semi self cater, down stairs is a toaster and a microwave that can be accessed during staffed reception hours. Bring your own bread and butter etc.

Our room was a little noisy from the sound of next doors aircon fans. Our window opened onto a U shaped service duct. I understand there are rooms ending in even numbers that will avoid this. Talk to the hotel staff about this when booking.

Surprised how much I loved my stay here as for the price I wasn’t expecting anything special and have been often since. The rooms are all different in their layout and it’s really quirky and definitely a fun place to try out even just to see the building! The staff were really warm and friendly and having visited adelaide often they were definitely the best reception team I’ve ever experienced which mades staying here super comfortable as opposed to the usually very slow and unfriendly reception staff elsewhere. Stay here!

THE LADY AT THE FRONT DESK WAS BEAUTIFUL 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 we could not have loved her more!!! We traveled from the Barossa for festivals over the weekend and she was so kind every morning and night giving us lots of beautiful compliments and was so lovely to every single person that walked through the doors she made us feel a million percent welcome and safe at all times. I couldn’t get her name but from dates 6th-8th of Jan she was working the front desk, we loved her xxxx

Everything was great and clean!

The room had 2 desks, and a couple of chairs, and no issues with WiFi, which made it great for us when we needed to do a bit of work. We were provided with more than the essentials, having a mini fridge, an iron and ironing board, towels, shampoo, and everything you need to make tea or coffee. The staff were also accommodating when contacted about last minute changes. For the discounted price, the location was great, as it was only a 5 minute walk from the convention centre, and ultimately a great place to sleep (the beds were well made and not firm) and shower at, if you weren't picky about the details.

We were a bit worried after looking at the reviews after booking, however it was honestly fine. The family room pictures were pretty identical other than the lighting. The only bedroom window behind the curtain is sealed and frosted, meaning that air could only come in from the air con, or through a small gap in the bathroom window. The only nitpicks we have is that it'd be nice if the bedside lights were a warm white instead of cool white, and that while the room can sleep 4, they only had 2 keys. As others have said, it's quite close to a club so you won't have complete silence on weekend nights. We were able to sleep fine (it's just muted background music), but if you're sensitive it's probably worth bringing ear plugs.

Excellent location in the heart of Adelaide CBD. Walking distance to many sights, eating, and shopping facilities. Good transport connections. Although the building is dated, and the hotel not lavishly decorated, the room is clean and very spacious, with a fridge and coffee/tea making facilities. WiFi is fast. On the whole, good value for money.

There are some noises from nearby bars, etc, but they don't bother me.
