The Palms Apartments

Arrived early, but staff were happy to accommodate us and let us check in. Apartment was recently renovated, clean, and very comfortable. It was set up to our requested bedding configuration of 4 single beds. We had everything we needed to cook in the apartment, which was handy for breakfast. Everything worked as it should, including wifi, smart tv and air conditioning / heating. Our outlook was straight to another building, so no views at all. Was charged a $6 eftpos fee when paying. The apartment was only 2kms from our event, but not in a very walkable area, with busy roads and few pedestrian crossings. We got ubers everywhere though, so it all worked out. Everything else was great, and staff were very friendly and accommodating. Great value for money.

Booked an apartment to give us flexibility during our stay in Adelaide. Meant we could catch up on our laundry and not worry about our rooms being serviced every day. The apartment had two bedrooms, two bathrooms, of which one was en-suite. The beds were comfortable, plenty of towels provided. Hot water whenever we needed it. Had we wanted to cook there was a selection of pans for use on the hob and oven. We mostly used the kettle and toaster. The place was airy, clean and the furnishings met our needs. From the apartment we had a good view over north Adelaide, though there was an electricity pole only a few feet from the balcony which I found slightly off putting. Make sure to book parking as spaces are limited. On the days we didn’t have allocated parking we were able to park close by on the street without incident. The team managing the building were always very pleasant and helpful and, given our late arrival time, left clear instructions on how to access the apartment. Good access to central Adelaide. Would happily stay there again.

The reviews were good and is in a good area. Little noise in the 2 bedroom apartment but a bit too far from the centre. Unfortunately the maintenance for the apartment was very poor. One of the bathroom door handles was so loose that the user got locked in! It was 3 days before it was fixed. The fridge was humming all the time electrical socket on the kitchen work surface did, not work. The closest bathroom had a tiled shower tray that just about broke my toes on a number of visits!. The worst part of the stay was the view from the window with a huge rusty telegraph pole which was right next to the balcony! We booked an apartment so we could cook meals but the antiquated hob was so slow and could barely boil anything it was very frustrating! No tissues and one small amount of shampoo or conditioner. Advertised as a servised apartment was a joke as we received little service which apparently only takes place after a 7 day stay. Overall it was a very disappointing stay
