Hotels near Goodman Crescent, Adelaide

This is a very new hotel (opened within the last 12 months and is a new build) and it was an excellent stay. At check in I was greeted by an incredibly friendly person at reception and was promptly given a room key for a room on the 10th floor (of eleven) which had an excellent view! The bed in the room was incredibly comfortable with pillows that more than met my incredibly picky tastes in pillows. The bathroom was well laid out and had liquid hand soap for washing your hands which I always appreciate seeing. The TV in the room had Foxtel channels plus also had inbuilt Chromecast support for casting your streaming apps to it which is also something I've grown to love in hotels and wish more did this! The hotel was in a good location for the city although I'm not sure what the hotel's official parking arrangements are - because I was staying on the weekend, I ended up parking at the KPark outdoor parking area on the corner of Angas and Pulteney Streets (about three minutes walk away) which charged $4 for 12 hours of parking. There are also bus stops right outside the hotel and you can easily walk further up Pulteney Street to get to bus stops to other parts of town. I was very impressed with all aspects of my stay here and would happily stay here in again in the future without question, but I do have one suggestion - another bin in the room would be nice, as the only bin I could find was a small one in the bathroom and I filled it in about thirty seconds after I put my takeout rubbish in it.

The Rockford is in a great location, being close to restaurants, shops, entertainment venues and public transport. Our room, at the rear of the hotel was quiet, of ample size with full length windows and a sliding door which opened onto a long narrow balcony. Some of the furniture had seen better days, but was still functional and comfy. The reverse cycle air conditioner was very effective. The large ensuite bathroom contained a two person spa, separate shower, heat lamps and toiletries in eco-friendly dispensers. Our rate included breakfast, which was very good and consisted of the usual bainmaries, eggs to order and a good selection of bread and cereals. All members of staff we met were very friendly and helpful. Pre stay emails were answered promptly and all requests granted. As a Gold Accor ALL member, I received a room upgrade, welcome drink vouchers, a couple of delicious Haigh’s chocolates and a 1 o’clock check out.

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.

Decided to try he Arkaba Hotel bistro twice during my stay in Adelaide. I'm glad I did. Whilst this is a huge complex that has the bistro, pokies, sports bar and accomodation, it is a family friendly place that is well patronised. When I was there on a Friday and Sunday night, the dining room was bustling, with diners having a meal before theatre/comedy shows and birthday celebrations, in addition to the usual casual dining. On Friday night, I tried the sourdough garlic bread with cheese, which had some nice density to it, grilled to perfection with stretchy cheese. Then I had the beef schnitzel with mushroom sauce. The schnitzel was crunchy and I really liked the mushroom sauce - lots of mushrooms in a possible cream of mushroom soup base. Lots of crispy chips were on the plate too. When I went back on the Sunday, I had the Yoder smoked scotch fillet, once again with mushroom sauce. I didn't need the sauce, as the steak had a lovely Smokey flavour that stood on its own. I ordered mine medium, and it was cooked perfectly. The Caesar salad was fresh and tasty, and the dressing was not too heavy. The chips were crispy once again, but the only downside were the two onion rings, which could have done with a bit longer in the fryer. Meals are ordered and paid for at the register, with drinks purchased separately at the bar. Multiple televisions screens showing sport and select commercial stations are also present in the bistro. All in all, next time I visit Adelaide, I will be heading back to Arkaba Hotel for a meal.

We have stayed at the Walkers Arms a number of times. The man reason is the rooms are spotlessly clean with great beds and they’re spacious. Parking is onsite and free, we like that and it is within easy reach of te city. You can drive to the city in five minutes or get a bus at the front door, almost. But the best thing about the hotel is the team who look after guests and freshen up our rooms. They are so friendly, helpful and love a chat and they’re always interested in what we are doing for the day. They are a tell credit to the Walkers Arms and the reason we keep coming back.

Really clean and modern apartment with two good size bedrooms. The kitchen has an oven, dishwasher and all the electrical and cutlery you need. Perfect for families who may not always want to eat out all the time. Friendly staff. Woolworths is a 5-10 mins walk away. There is also Jenny’s bakery 15 mins walk along Glen Osmond Road towards the city who serves a great coffee and amazing pastries baked onsite! It’s only a 5-10 mins drive into Adelaide. Only feedback I have is the Block C 102 ground floor apartment we were appointed to could get very noisy with all the door slamming of people going in and out of the building. It can be really loud when you are sleeping since the apartment is right next to the foyer doors. Will consider staying again when we next visit Adelaide.

We stayed in a budget room, and it was great! Room was a little on the small side but very comfortable for us as a couple. Bathroom light was a little dark, but the shower was fantastic and always had hot water. Good location in the suburbs of Adelaide, easy to navigate and to get to other places. Perfect spot for a comfortable place to sleep after a long day.

The location is good. You can sometimes see dolphins on the beach opposite. When you check in, you will receive a welcome wine card that can be redeemed. However, the bar on the first floor can be a bit noisy when there are activities. However, earplugs are provided in the saloon on the second floor.
