What guests think

At Princes Lodge Motel, travellers highlight a charming historic building and a convenient North Adelaide location within walking distance of parklands, dining and city sights, paired with friendly staff, generally clean rooms, and simple continental breakfasts included.

Excellent from start to finish, pleasant reception, this makes all the difference and puts you at ease and in a good frame of mind right from the start. Very comfortable room which was nice and quiet. Easy parking, only a short walk to a fantastic dining area with lots of variety available. I was sorry when our stay ended.

The Lodge was once a grand building, so it certainly has it's charm, but it is now quite outdated. It is as clean as an old building can be and seems secure. The staff are friendly and helpful and my teenage companions enjoyed the continental breakfast in the dining room. The beds were comfortable and a good size with clean linen. Out door parking at rear is convenient but it is not fully sealed so I had to carry our cases to the car or they would have dirty/wet wheels. It is in the Adelaide Airport flight path which did not bother us.

This is a beautiful older facility which oozes character, and provides more than adequate facilities. The staff are warm and inviting, and will do their best to help with any problems. Parking is easy, nice brekky room, lovely parklands around, and an easy walk to good food area. Not quite a walk to the city centre, but if yr reasonably fit, no probs.. Bike tracks aplenty close by.

Accommodation in Adelaide during the AFL Gather round was at a premium and hence pricing was somewhat higher than normal, but that's to be expected. Princes Lodge is more like a guest house with basic rooms and a large dining room where a small breakfast is provided. The premises are somewhat old but if you are looking for somewhere simply to sleep, this does the job. It does not provide the other comforts some motels do such as pools, foxtel, gyms etc. Bed was reasonably comfortable and wi-fi worked well. This property provided reasonable value. Located a 10 minute walk from North Adelaide shopping precinct and 25 minute walk to the Adelaide oval. A lovely park was directly accross the road which provided an early morning walk.

Understandably, it is a three star but, there’s no need to be under that for cleaning and removing unsightly items. The rooms at the rear of the premise was the old stable at the turn of the century with its set out of more suited as frat house arrangement and is in need of repair such carpet, grey mould on the ceiling above the shower and along the row of windows. Didn’t sleep all that well. Thinking being at the back of the main rooms would be far more quiet but remembering you have airport jets flying directly over the premises up until 11:30 and starts again 5am. There are several premises around the area for a far more decent price a choice of 2 rooms. Again, basic accommodation and if they did some general maintenance such as the driveway to the rear, freshened up regularly and cleaned It may get a higher rating.

Although it was a bit noisy as it is not sound proof and planes frequently flew over the building. Overall its was an amazing experience with a great breakfast, excellent location, and I would recommend.

It’s an older style motel/hotel/lodge to stay at. Quaint. The carpets probably need stretching in the bedroom to stop trip hazards and the mattress on the bed I slept in has no coil left in the springs. Very uncomfortable Value for money if your looking for somewhere nice and close to amenities though

Room was a size of the shoe box Window seal is missing so when windy window is rattling all the time. We end up putting tissue papers around to minimise rattling. Ceiling above bed is broken and hanging down. Lights in the bathroom need at least 5-7 min to start working once when turned on. Facility kitchen was next door to our room as well as all overflowing rubbish bins. When kitchen staff start working 6am it was noisy and being on holiday it is annoying. Gaps around front door are large enough for any crawly creature to crawl under the door especially with rubish bind so close. This review is about room 10. Can’t comment on any other rooms.
