Hotels Near River Torrens / Karrawirra Parri in Athelstone

My parents and I booked for lunch. Two of us had the lamb shoulder and the other had Mulloway. 10/10 for all mains and empty plates sent back to the kitchen. Desserts were ordered - two of us had the expression parfait - a delicious combo of treacle tart and coffee parfait with delicious inclusions such as crisp honeycomb. The third member of the party fancied the ice cream and strawberry sauce enjoyed by the youngster on the neighboring table and the kitchen were happy to oblige. Service friendly and efficient, and the bar person made and excellent gin and tonic to highlight a SA Gin for this Victorian. All in all the best hotel meal I have had in Adelaide for many years and I will come back on other trips.

On the positive side, the hotel is clean and breakfast was good. The rooms are quite dated and could definitely do with a refresh. Unfortunately I was in a room over Main Street near an intersection. The noise from the pedestrian lights was audible all night, as was pub noises and noises from the other rooms. The room was spacious, but as mentioned the decor was quite dated. Overall, it’s fine as a place to crash for the night, but I wouldn’t stay again unless they improved the soundproofing!

The exterior of the hotel is very obvious. The blue exterior wall, at a glance, knows where it is. Ade is a very quiet and comfortable city, and you can park near the street. When I checked in, it was 10 pm. There was no staff. The experience of calling in at the door was wonderful. After entering the room, the room was a certain year, but the room was clean and tidy. It is the mural on the wall of the room. It is a little cautious to live alone. However, not every one is the same mural, and sometimes it is very curious about the aesthetics of foreigners. I am visiting friends and teachers. For my student party, this is a very affordable option. I am very satisfied that the daily cleaning work will clean up the room in a neat and orderly manner, and will not put things in a mess, and the beds will be neatly stacked every day. There are many places to eat around, and this street is not far from the city, even if it takes only ten minutes to walk. The overall housing experience is very good, if you come back to Ade next time, you should still choose here.

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.

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.

My husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary this year by visiting Adelaide. Stamford Plaza was our main base as we travelled throughout the region experiencing all of the arts, culture, history, Architecture, food and wine of the region. Our stay at Stamford Plaza was pleasant and clean with all the amenities needed in a central location. To raise the bar though it was the service we received at Stamford Plaza from Jacqui aka Jax that made it extra special. From her warm welcome, recommended attractions and hot spots to the extra special touches including bottle of wine to help us celebrate. Our memories of our stay in Adelaide were greatly enhanced due to Jax and the Stamford Hotel. Thank you!

Well there might be a sign at the front desk stating ”leave a 5-star review for a free coffee”. . Forgive me for selling out but coffee is coffee 😅 Okay, well this hotel is comfortable and clean with no real negatives. If I had to be picky, I would say it needs better TV selections for movies, maybe Foxtel and Netflix enabled. The balcony is nice although the views from my room were of a back street but still nice to have that option. Bed was comfortable and bathroom clean. No in room snacks or drinks but there is a vending machine downstairs. Overall a nice stay, good pizza bar near by and good 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.

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.
