What guests think

At Adelaide Pulteney Motel, travellers frequently praise the convenient location near public transport and city sights, while feedback is mixed on cleanliness, dated rooms under renovation, and a code-based, staff-light check-in that some find smooth and others frustrating.

Rooms range from spacious and functional to worn, with recurring maintenance issues (air conditioning, taps, mirrors) and several reports of closed or unsafe balconies; some rooms use shared bathrooms. Cleanliness varies from very clean to dirty or smoky-smelling areas, and noise from traffic, pipes, or other guests affects some stays. Parking is limited or unavailable and there is no lift, so carrying luggage upstairs can be a hassle. Expect a simple, central stay with trade-offs.

Room is fine. Check in went smooth. As there is no water or bathrooms in the room some fresh water in the fridge wouldn’t go astray.. also needs ventilation or working windows.. no balcony or terrace facility as being renovated currently. Ok for price.

The outdoor balcony is closed due to being unsafe. Traffic noise is high Had high volume airflow heaters running all night in the passage to try to dry wet carpet. 1 bath/toilet to about 15 rooms. For $135 I expected a lot better.

The room appeared clean. But opening the cupboard to find a used bath towel. There was no handle on the inside of the shower door. The shower base spouts water sideways and the floppy shower head useless and I was unable to together the head upright. The room had a lingering smokers smell as the balcony door is a conventional door. After opening at 6am I was unable to secure the door before going to the gym, so my room was unsecured. Lucky I didn’t open during the night as there are 3 balconies that share space and someone could easily walk in on me. Toilet flush button sticks down. The handles on the bathroom cabinet are missing.

The motel is pretty average. Though clean, the room was pretty rough around the edges and had a strong smell of old cigarettes. The motel is located next to a 24 hr pokies venue which isn't ideal. There is a beautiful park nearby and easy access to buses and the tram.

Didn't like I had to give my ID, plus credit details again. I understand why, but hadn't experienced it before (but admittedly overseas but not in Australia). Thought it was a scam on only recently had to get a new card giving details online. I did talk to a lovely lady on the phone who did give me access to the property with codes. Lovely place & enjoyed the stay.

Checking in was really hard for some staff for whatever reason it took 5 phone calls and 45mins to get into room after 2pm check in time. Room was not too bad but was needing more maintenance and cleaning and some fixtures upgraded for sure. There was a really loud and obnoxious wake up due to an incident between staff and guests where the police were called to assist with eviction of the unwanted guests. Would have been nice to be compensated a nights expence like my next door guests got due to the rude and noisey wake up and anxiety caused by the situation that arose that morning. Yours sincerely Adin Bennett room 208

Do not stay at this hotel. It has no staff at it and relies on a complicated system of door codes to get in that keeps breaking. I was stuck outside my room multiple times. The hotel itself is shabby and not close to anything. AVOID.

There is no reception. You get an sms message giving you codes for front and room doors. Room was OK but at one stage could not get electrics to work. I rang the number given for emergency contacts and they fixed it remotely very quickly. The rooms are above a Fasta Pasta shop not in the hotel itself. The hotel serves good pub meals but not breakfast. There are Pokies there to amuse you. (at a cost!!!! ). Location is good----close to CBD--- and view from window was pleasant overlooking a park.

The property seems to be an old converted pub, rooms upstairs from a restaurant. Resonably well laid out and clean/tidy. The downfall was booking a "motel" room only to find out after it only has shared bathrooms. This needs to be promently displayed. For a cheap place to stay its very reasonable, but the property failed badly when it came to communication about the check-in procedure, only sending a door/room code late in the evening well after the check in opening time and only after being chased up to provide. (Along with their "glitch" of not sending the pre-check in linl the day prior... Makes it impossible to recommend.. Was surprised when entering the property that housekeepers were still stripping and making rooms so late as well... End result... cheap digs.. but beware the pitfalls...
