What guests think

Reviews of Hotel Alba Adelaide highlight modern, clean rooms and a standout outdoor pool area with friendly staff, while noting occasional noise from the bar or pool and some service or housekeeping lapses that affected a few stays.

Many guests praise the recent renovation, comfortable beds, and spacious, stylish rooms. The location on South Terrace is convenient for walking to the CBD and public transport, with views over parklands. Dining is well regarded overall, though breakfast and restaurant wait times are inconsistent, and the pool—though attractive—can be busy with limited loungers or function blockouts. Expect a modern, comfortable stay with lively poolside energy.

A great refurbishment of an older hotel . Pool area was top notch, although popular as others can buy a day pass and there’s only 10 sunlounges . Lovely poolside atmosphere. Bed was super comfy and the park side room was quite spacious . Bathroom was well fitted out but quite small . Staff were attentive and helpful .Walking distance to many places and public transport nearby , which is free . Would stay again .

Quick & friendly check in with an upgrade & complimentary wine- which was a lovely surprise! Room was spacious ,clean & quiet. Balcony access over the pool & city was a bonus. Some outdoor chairs for the balcony would be a great addition. Saltwater pool was amazing ,with comfortable lounges & umbrellas. Bar service available ( though after we’d been out for nearby dinner we wanted a night cap at bar. Surprised that bar was closed at 9.25 pm on a Friday night.. they did accommodate with our drinks- thank you. Complimentary breakfast was served promptly & very tasty. Overall fab stay! We’ll be back!

Great hotel, only downside was functions were booked in the pool areas so if you were wanting to book the hotel with a plan for a relaxing by the pool on a lovely day and outdoor dining it was a no go, lucky I had a good rate to offset the services that were not available

You can see why this hotel won an award for its redevelopment. For the price, the fit out is excellent and I would absolutely stay here again, without hesitation. The staff were very helpful too. The only minor gripe is the number of sun loungers. Most of the time, there were enough but during the busy afternoon they were all taken and there is the space for more or them. The pool area itself is great.

The hotel rooms are nicely appointed and the overall design is very appealing - very Palm Springs esque. The cleaning lets things down a bit unfortunately. The first room we were shown to reeked of cigarettes. It stunk like a giant ashtray and we were shocked that they'd give this to any guests. They quickly rectified this by letting us move to another room, which also had a lingering stink of cigarettes, but was much less offensive (we propped the balcony door open to air things out and it got better). The design of the hotel overall and the service were great. The restaurant had an excellent breakfast. For whatever reason, this is a non-smoking hotel that appears to have a lot of smokers stay there. As someone who can't stand the smell of cigarettes, this was off putting. Otherwise I could not fault the hotel though.

Our stay at the Hotel Alba was okay. The room was clean and spacious with a very comfortable bed. We were disappointed that our room was missed by house cleaning. We had to go down and ask for fresh towels. The receptionist seemed pretty nonchalant about it all. We were given pool towels to use. Sort of expected more for the price. Location was good to get to the Adelaide Hills with ease and it was a short drive from the airport. Breakfast was mid for the price. Walls were paper thin. Woken up each night by neighbouring rooms stomping around. Probably wouldn’t stay here again.

Located on the South Terrace and one of the few hotels with a pool (if I remember correctly). The room was beautiful and very modern. Some of the reception staff were rather unfriendly when we asked for extra towels. We were staying in a room with 3 people and there were always only 2 towels. So we asked 1 more a the reception for the room and 2 for the pool and he told us to use the same one?! Housekeeping was also weird sometimes, I had to write them a note to let them know there were 3 people staying in the room so we needed 3 towels and not the 'standard' 2. Which I mean you do let housekeeping know how many people are coming in right? And once they did not make my bed because there was a sweater on it. I mean are you kidding me?! A freaking sweater. She wrote a note a put it on the bed saying she couldn't make my bed because my stuff was on it. She could've used that time to make my bed... Otherwise had a great stay. Supermarket is close by as well as other shops.

Unfortunately the shower had only a half screen, which allowed water to wet almost the entirety of the bathroom, and not overly fussed at paying $15 per night for the privilege of an onsite car park especially at the price paid for the accomodation.

The hotel Alba is clearly an older hotel that has recently had a renovation. Some of the features, such as the air-conditioning is still slightly dated, but overall a clean, comfortable and stylish place. Nice swimming pool. It was a good price and great location on the outskirts of Adelaide. Parkland is right out the front for some escape from the city - and restaurants and bars just behind and a short walk to the central markets. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I didn’t get a chance to try out the restaurant but did find the room service was quite limited and ended up walking over to some local restaurants instead. I would stay here again.

Nice, funky room. Good quality finishing touches and great bathroom. Lower rating for me due to horrendous loud music in pool area outside. Banging DJ which could be heard at nightclub levels up on 3rd floor. Then afterwards the lobby music was played so loud it could also be heard up the staircase and through into room corridors. You will need earplugs. Poor soundproofing...and honestly, the DJ playing in the evening is a real mistake. I didn't see any other guests enjoying it....

I have stayed at many hotels & always ensure i have breakfast where it is available. This would probably be the worst breakfast offering i have experienced. Cold food or simply no food, under cooked bacon, no hash browns, the worst baked beans ever & had to pay for a coffee, & 20 min wait to get it. Room was good, clean & staff were also good. Just don't do breakfast

The property is in a good location and the pool was a key aspect of this property for my family of 2 adults and 2 kids (7 and 8) in January and was a nice temperature and winner for the kids . The hotel is close to family friendly restaurants/ park and not far drive from key attractions. housekeeping was disappointing as we came from a day out to a sink full of dirty dishes (coffee cups left in water in bathroom sink ) and no towels being left in room or available- front desks resolutions to these issue was less than satisfactory. Breakfast was not value for money for what would expect for full paying adults - overall a nice hotel but things that could be improved.

Great location. Cute rooms and decor. Friendly staff. Was given a free upgrade upon checking in, only to have that upgrade rescinded after parking the car and coming back inside with all our luggage and an overtired toddler, and having to go through the check-in process again. There’s not a lot of dining options super nearby, but that’s Adelaide rather than the hotel. Rooms are not at all soundproof. No dinner service on a Sunday night, which meant bar snacks/room service was off the menu too.
