Hotel in zona Haigh's, Adelaide

Well reviewed hotel, which we found disappointing. Firstly, on arrival (we arrived around 11am), at check-in we were told that our room wasn't ready so the receptionist after reminding us that check-in was at 3pm, stored away our luggage and promised to text us when the room was ready, we went for a walk, after having lunch, about 2.5 hours later, we went back and the room still wasn't ready, after an hours waiting in the reception area and watching guests checking in without any problem my wife (again) asked when our room was ready, her reply was that the room had been ready for some time and she thought that we were relaxing, so she didn't want to disturb us ( no text either) - really! Our stay was bed with breakfast, breakfast menu we thought was prescriptive, we had a choice of tea/coffee or orange juice couldn't have both as it was extra, throughout the breakfasts, chef found it impossible to fry an egg without charring it. The pool which is shown in the picture is small, get your fitness bunny in and that's it, then again we found it filthy, looking on the side wall there was a 2” (50mm) black, thick tide mark all around the inside of the pool and 'bits' on the floor so it seems cleanliness isn't top of the list, which comes to our room, nice sized and comfortable, but why the cleaner couldn't clean our room when he was either next door or the room facing was puzzling even though we put our tag on our door. A thing we found with regard to the reviews of this hotel I found that quite a few of these were people from Adelaide who not only gave this hotel 5 stars, but only ever did one review - hmm? The hotel is situated about a 10/15 minute walk from the centre of town and appeared to be a popular place to stay amongst the business fraternity

Raccomanderò molto questo posto a chiunque volesse essere vicino alla città e senza troppo rumore. La camera della regina che avevo avuto era favolosa! I prodotti della doccia e della bagno erano particolarmente divini. Anche le strutture per la colazione sono meravigliose!! Resterò qui ancora 🤩

We stayed here last night as we were going to The 10cc concert. Arrival was swift and easy and the room was already available. Our room was a junior suite facing North Terrace, it was clean and quiet. We enjoyed 2 complimentary drinks from the bar. They have refurbished the hotel but I think the bar looks a touch bland and not welcoming. I would have thought that there would have been sanitiser available on all levels by the lifts and in the room also. The shampoo, soap etc no longer comes as individual packs but huge bottles and being still in Covid times I thought this a bit off putting. Breakfast was ok nothing special and luckily we had ours included or it would have cost us $42.00 per person and it was not worth that much. The pre-made pancakes were freezing cold. There was a good range of cereals and the fruit plates were nice but had defrosted and tinned fruit also. I found all the supposedly hot foods not hot but cool venturing on cold and they need to do something about the baked beans as they were nasty. We had a slight hiccup on leaving as we were almost charged for two glasses of red wine which we quickly told the receptionist we never had. She amended that quickly so all good.

The room was comfy; The TV was a good size; The bed was a king size & good to sleep on. We had a buffet breakfast & dinner each day. The staff managed to keep up the service. The food was ok. The staff was extremely busy & run off their feet. A big thank you to Christian & Jane for looking after us. The site is the perfect location. Close to the city & landmarks. An ideal base to travel from to tourist destinations. We loved it.

Excellent location, easy walking distance to amenities and public transport. Had to log into our own Prime and Netflix as it wasn't available on our TV. The bathroom was clean but quite tired, with a cracked sink and a fixed showerhead. Despite it being a queen room, there was ever only one set of cutlery provided. Having said that, we still appreciated our stay and would say that it was good value for money.

Deciso di provare il bistro dell'Hotel Arkaba due volte durante il mio soggiorno a Adelaide. Sono felice di averlo fatto. Anche se questo è un enorme complesso che ha bistro, pochi, bar sportivo e alloggio, è un luogo amico della famiglia che è ben protetto. Quando ero lì venerdì e domenica sera, la sala da pranzo era piena di ricchezze, con cena prima di teatro/commedia e feste di compleanno, oltre al solito pranzo casuale. Venerdì sera ho provato il pane di aglio con formaggio, che aveva una buona densità, grigliato perfettamente con formaggio stretto, e poi ho avuto la carne di carne con salsa di funghi. La sniffa era crudele e mi piaceva davvero la salsa di funghi - molte di quelle in una possibile crema di zuppa di funghi. Quando tornai domenica, avevo fumato il filetto di scotch, ancora una volta con salsa di funghi, non avevo bisogno del salsa, perché la torta aveva un bel sapore di fumo che si trovava da sola. Ho ordinato il mio mezzo, e era cotto perfettamente. La salata di César era fresca e deliziosa, e il vestito non era troppo pesante; le chips erano ancora una volta disgustose, ma l’unico lato era il doppio anello di lino, che avrebbe potuto fare un po’ più lungo nel frigo. Il bistro contiene anche numerosi schermi televisivi che mostrano sport e selezioni di stazioni commerciali. In generale, la prossima volta che visito Adelaide, torno all'Hotel Arkaba per un pasto.

The Grand is without a doubt all about the location! Given it’s ocean front position it should offer an absolute premium experience but instead falls a little short as it continues to date without much sign of refurbishment. The rooms are basic, the carpets old, the furnishings aging and everything just feels in need of some love. Bathrooms still have showers over the bath with shower curtains and the air con in the room wasn’t very effective (too hot despite being on the coolest setting). There was also a wedding being hosted during my 1 night stay and despite my room being on the 5th floor (ballroom is on level 1), I could hear the band/music until the end of the reception at 11:30pm. On the positive (besides premium location), the staff at reception / concierge were excellent. They greeted with absolute care on arrival and happiness during check out, despite being early in the morning. It felt like they enjoyed what they did and that’s so good to see in customer facing roles. Worth considering this hotel for a stay, just as long as you’re happy with basic ammenities in a great location.

Have stayed in Adelaide many times for both business and holiday, and this hotel now will be my first choice. Great rooms and facilities, views, location, parking . Hotel restaurants are the best and great staff who are all friendly and go out of their way to help. You just dont get all that these days. Well done to all.

靠近海濱，可以在房間的涼台上欣賞落日美景；停車方便，房間很乾凈，廚房用品齊全，海釣成果剛好自己加工享受，棒極了。 服務態度友好，免費提供嬰兒床，令人滿意。
