Guest Reviews
- kylie (2/5): -
- Brodie (8/5): - The Pool, Spa & Sauna are fantastic at this hotel & the Swainson run apartment is great. Clean & spacious The apartment is a little dated but overall it's great cause it was clean
- sarah (9/5): -
- laura (9/5): -
- Morton (4/5): - It was a good size room The instructions and directions getting there were terrible. No parking for easy access to the building. The room, under the couches and the range hood were filthy
- David (10/5): -
- Stacey (10/5): - Location and cleanliness Seems a little steep for the night
- Meg (8/5): Nice and central and the tram line is close. The cafe makes it easy for something to eat. - The location is great for Rundle Mall. The shower needs a redo.
- Henry (4/5): Convenient but disappointing - Great location Dark, not clean, no natural light to second window, poorly maintained
- Fabian (10/5): -
- Sharra (9/5): - Great location and great room Wasn’t anything we didn’t like however couldn’t access the property after hours with our swipe card and had to wait for the front desk to let us in
- Mellissa (1/5): - Nothing. The padlock was difficult to open. We were told there was a QR code on the app, there was not. This was a highly disorganised stay and I would not recommend.
- Kate (8/5): Great Location - The location was sensational and the Apartment was roomy and clean The TV Adapter Cable was broken. We rang about it and because no body got back to us on that day we bought one. Wasn't expensive but inconvenient. The next day some body came. There is no Receptionist for Swainson
- Vicki (9/5): Close to Casino convient comfortable - Location room size bed good
Shower very good water pressure Hot plates dirty extra clean on
Gas cooking area
Light missing
Blanket wasn’t clean on lounge
Old coat hangers not required just rubbish looking
The carpark swipe card wasn’t registering so couldn’t get in and out of carpark cost $35 to get car out
Outside view unable to view anything re building next door
- simone (10/5): A place to chillax in comfort...... - The service from the get-go was an amazing help. We had issues with another place that had accepted us n then cancelled. These guys did everything to assist in making our transition as relaxed and stress free for me. The tension of the last experience just drifted away. They helped me in all ways of settling the tensions of the ride. It was a home away from home with all the basic necessary things u required when out of ur own nest. I had no hassles with anything once I was grounded. I honestly can't say there was anything that was bad n we didn't like. Other than I wasn't at home.... so it's a good thing I felt in my zone for the night.
- Trav (8/5): - Everything you needed
- Tori (8/5): Overall, great stay! - Everything was super easy. Great stay
- Prue (7/5): Very nice, couple things to improve on. - Thats near the city. The sign and sign out. The lock box never works correctly. Need find pinpad . Parking card doesn’t work
- Lyn (7/5): -
- Asha (1/5): Sorry Swainson - you really need to improve if you want to show you're legit. - Ended up not staying here at all. The owners gave me the wrong information for the wrong lockbox, even though they said they had sent the correct information, they actually hadn't. I tried phoning them from the lockbox location on the night I was supposed to check in to the accommodation. I was put on hold for over 30 minutes at 9pm, in a secluded car park, and no-one answered to help me out. It wasn't until 6 hours later (~2.30a.m) that I received a text message from the owners noting my missed call! Thank goodness I had found alternative accommodation already! NEVER stay here! I later found out that there were many people before me who had had similar experiences and worse.
- John (1/5): Nightmarish, the unit did not reflect what was advertised. - I liked leaving the apartment. It was horrible arrived just after 2pm apartment was unclean and the strong smell of stale cigarette smoke in a non smoking apartment was dreadful. Swainson said be patient we will clean the unit. We were able to return after 7pm but the apartment was still unclean and the strong smell of stale cigarette smoke was still there as well as the unclean linen. The unit was unclean, the linen on the beds was not clean, towel left next to the lounge, there was food on the floor and the stench of stale cigarette smoke.
I also did not like how difficult it was to have someone to speak with.
We left early the next morning and left messages with Swainson but received no response until later that day. Dreadful experience not at all a family friendly environment. Customer service from Swainson is very poor, still awaiting resolution after 11 days
- Vismay (9/5): Very good place. Highly recommended. - Very good location in CBD. Neat and clean. All basic amenities were available in-house.
- Luke (10/5): -
- Maria (5/5): Hotel location was great, hotel room was alittle under rated - Hotel was in a good location. Close to everything The room we were given was very dark (construction of a building next door, blocked any natural light coming in) I understand you can't control that but a heads up would have been good. Also the glass in the shower really needed the mould to be cleaned
- Baljinder (4/5): - It’s very complicated related to parking
- Woynjarmie (8/5): -
- Amanda (5/5): -
- Fletcher (1/5): We arrived to our room filthy and uncleaned from the previous group, when we called to fix the issue the staff were incr - Not much A lot
- Gordon (10/5): -
- Chauncey (1/5): -
- Travis (10/5): - Great location, nice and tidy apartment. Would stay here again in the future.
- Jarryd (8/5): - Location was outstanding, apartment was clean and tidy and exactly as described, communication with host was great Parking was a bit complicated to work out
- Tonia (10/5): I had a fantastic time - Fantastic place to stay very clean beautiful view
- Chloe (8/5): Overall I highly recommend and was super happy with our stay! - My friends and I really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the city. I had a few questions about the stay beforehand and the staff were super lovely and helpful as well as efficient with their responses. Although many reviews state difficulties about the lockbox, I had found it pretty easy to access. The instructions were very clear and allowed us to access our keys as well as carpark key effectively. The bedrooms were very neat, clean and cosy, plus safe and secure. The location was also fantastic and allowed us to walk to most places in the city which was convenient as we wanted to avoid any city driving 😂 We didn’t really have any major complaints, however, I wish we were given two access keys to our rooms, considering there was a few of us going out or using the room at different times. The carpark key that was also given to us also didn’t work, meaning we had to speak to the intercom to get in and out which caused a bit of hold up.
- Joanne (10/5): -
- Kimberley (1/5): - the location. the room was not as advertised, the showers were mouldy and when I had an urgent issue that required help from staff i was completely ghosted until after I'd checked out the next day.
Worst value for money I've experienced in a long time.
- Vincent (10/5): - Location is amazing
- jones (6/5): Adelaide swainsen - Conveniently placed in town. Finding the keys in the drop box was not at all easy and for short people even more difficult. However staff on the phone were very helpful. The bathroom had a lot of would in the shower ang the floor drain was filthy. Beds were comfortable but perhaps ab extra blanket would be great. It did get cold unless up turned on the aircon which is a bit noisy. However til price was excellent. You could walk to everything in town which was great. Mainly the bathroom which is an easy fix. And no instruction for the tv. Also not enough toiletries there was only enough for one person.
- Leanne (8/5): Fun week. - Position All good
- Cassandra (8/5): - Very close to attractions.
Information and photos for check in were very informative and easy to follow. Loved the 2 seperate bedrooms.
Good hair dryer. No smart tv to access streaming services.
Some of the cutlery and utensils needed wiping over before use..
Two elevators were out of action during our stay making some wait times as long as 40 minutes.
Needed 2 keys as we went seperate ways at times but couldn’t get to our room unless we were together with the one key.
- Shayna (8/5): Prime position, walking distance to everywhere - The position is great!
Info book emailed and locked key box info was very helpful!
Great price for a 2 bedroom inner city apartment! Access Into the locked key box was a bit fiddly.
This room had no view. Haha.
Walked out onto my balcony to see right into the next building and the construction workers waving back at me.
(I was there for work so this didn’t bother me too much)
- Sujita (7/5): -
- Emma (7/5): -
- Oliver (8/5): clean, tidy, just what I needed - well sized works going on - unavoidable though
- Glen (4/5): Great Location but average appt that needs maintence and very confusing checkin process. - Great location and view from balcony and appt layout was very good The unit very different from internet photo's (unit 917)
Curtains damaged and tracks don't work well.
Balcony door handle damaged and loose, SECURITY ISSUE!
Glass on TV cabinet has large cracks
Shower head very loose and soap trays broken.
Both toilet seats need attention and don't stay up.
Main bed need attention, old, cheap with pillow top cover, 2nd bedroom bed had no pillowtop, so nothing to cover centre zip. Iron dirty and ironing board needs replacing.
Dryer filter full of thick fluff, clothes airer outside is rusty and unusable.
Toaster old and needs replacing, Oven not cleaned for ages.
Horrible musky smell every time we walked into appt.
Check in is just one big mess, with codes for lock boxes, padlocks, and no where to park while you work out what to do, would be extremly hard for older customers. We would not stay in this type of setup for check in again, just too confusing and time wasted. We paid $15/day for parking and our spot had another car in it when we finally arrived and all other spots were reserved, needs much better organisation for parking/checkin and appartement needs a lot maintenance.
- Jasmine (8/5): - Great views, and was very comfortable and spacious. only a couple of glasses were dirty from i’m guessing people who stayed before us.
- rebecca (6/5): Unsatisfied - The apartment itself was great, beds were comfortable. We received a message saying the dryer was not working and I messaged back to say it was one of the reasons we booked this apartment. They were quick to reply and had it fixed in time. The drop box was a little confusing to find with the instructions. The parking was very poorly organised. I paid $80 to park for 3 nights only to get to the drop box and not have a swipe card to enter. I then rang and was told it would be sorted out the next day. I had to then pay for parking for that night. Upon returning the next day after being out at hockey all day, there was again nothing in the drop box. I rang and was told sorry and again that it would be sorted the next day. I then again had to pay another night's parking. And someone was in our parking spot. Nearly $80 out of pocket paying for parking i had already paid for.
Finally, the next day, we got the swipe card, which was 2 days 2 late.
This definitionly put a damper on holiday.
- Leanne (10/5): -
- Caine (1/5): Very unacceptable - Room not clean dirty dishes, used needle in bedside draw
- Kathy (5/5): - No air conditioning,horrible view.
- Joel (4/5): Stay away dont book - Good location There needs to be more integration between hotel check in/ staff and the booking company.
Booking through Swainson the service desk would not help with anything particularly luggage storage. They are extremely rude people and this reflects bad on swainson ive done around 50 hotels stay this year and this was probably the worst one.
- Nick (1/5): Go somewhere else. Trust me - Nothing at all. The pictures they send of your room, ain’t your room at all. Terrible view of another building from balcony, no natural light even though they write about this amazing view over North Tce.
There’s no staff which would fine but not if they never even left you a key in the lockbox.
Absolute overpriced scam of a hotel.
Do not bother
- Katelin (7/5): -
- Jacqueline (9/5): -
- Aaron (10/5): - good location, close to alot
- Thuan (8/5): Very good -
- Sarah (10/5): Exceptional -
- Karen (5/5): Good location . - Great location , within walking distance The property is outdated , not enough utensils and crockery for 4 people . Toiletries only enough for 2 people . I thought we were getting a view but we had a view of concrete wall . TV needs to be updated .
- Kelly (7/5): Great location! - The beds were amazing. I actually slept even with the construction going on outside. Kitchen was well equipped and the carpets were clean and fluffy which was nice to feel. Great amount of space for 3 adults. Location was good even in winter. Short walk to the trams. Definitely looking to stay again. The key drop box and pickup system was not ideal. Being new to the system my elderly mother in law struggled with breath going up to box. When we left someone messed up the box which slowed us down from catching our taxi.
The bathroom shower had a metal seel sticking up with a Sharp Point on it. I advised and was told it would be looked into during the week.. it didn't happen. But no communication to say it couldn't be fixed. One of the lights were blown above the table. Extra shampoo and conditioner would have been useful and extra towels in the room. Sadly while no parties permitted there were several in the complex and that was more stressful than the construction
- Jodi (1/5): Bad - The apartment itself was nice, clean and exactly what we were after. The fact that there was no key in the lockbox when we arrived and it took 45 mins to get one only for it to not work for the parking garage door. I called and was told it should work but it definitely didn't. I was abused by other patrons wanting to use the garage as I was trying to sort out access. I was told it would be sorted straight away but did not receive a call back that night, I called the following morning to have to explain everything that has happened and then waited five hours before calling back as again wasn't called back to be told that someone would sort it out. Another hour and a half passed before receiving a text to say my key should now work. In the meantime I was told to park in the adjacent carpark and that I would be immediately reimbursed after the key was sorted. I sent through the receipt Tuesday afternoon to follow up on Friday as again had had no contact. To say I was annoyed about the whole situation is an understatement.
- Darren (7/5): It was clean and tidy with plenty of room - Close to everything Only having one key for 8 people staying there
- Imran (8/5): Worth the cost for a great location in heart of city. - We loved the location of the property, being in heart of CBD and some great locations to visit at walking distance. Cannot list any particular aspect to dislike, however one light in main room and the blinds were not in the greatest of shape - this is an opportunity for improvement.
- Rose (7/5): Good - Well equipped Lock box
- Lawson (8/5): Great - I liked the view and the nice big balcony. There was plenty of space in the living room. The bedrooms are nice The master bedroom's bed was a little stiff to lay on.
And the fact that we had to stay around waiting for the room keys to come down an hour after they said it would be suspected
- Prue (8/5): Nice, clean - I liked because it was central to CBD The process getting keys and the cards. Not enough keys and cards for all three people one card didn't work.
The whole lock box situation would be better with punch in system. They wouldn't open or close.
As well when is spa going to work I have stayed here before at least been year already.
The mattress was hard
- Sarah (10/5): Exceptional -
- Carol (6/5): Comfortable and good value - Location was great, apartment clean and tidy. The lockbox location was in a ridiculous spot. The staff in reception were unhelpful and unfriendly. Our extended family were on a different floor but we could use our swop key to go between levels.
- Helen (3/5): Noisy Construction site dissatisfied - The construction site was right outside the bedroom window they started 6am it was annoying and loud could not enjoy my time there and did not relax . This room is not fit for leasing out at this point in time.
- Andrea (3/5): Lovely apartment but difficult location and extremely noisy - Clean warm room It was terribly noisy with building construction going on next door from early morning till late night .. this was terrible especially as I had my elderly mother with me who came out of hospital .. parking was confusing and hard to get into area for lifts
- Tyson (10/5): Exceptional - Great location Parking pass forgotten
- Langton (7/5): Good -
- John (8/5): Pleasant, good location - Its convenience very near the shopping district. Good price and has parking for a reasonable price. I had a problem with the parking. The access key was not present at the locker. Had problem with access parking card to the actual parking gate. But the staff was very nice and was able to pay back the parking fees I paid. The place I have no problem. Worth it for the price point.
- Hon (2/5): Very disappointed 😔😔 - Only the location Old, dirty and a lot of broken items e.g. lighting, dish washer, bowels, dishes
- Toni (6/5): Pleasant -
- Hannah (9/5): Superb -
- Rhys (9/5): Very good property, clean & tidy. Good amenities -
- Megan (8/5): Very pleasant and worth the price - Location and facilities like a pool, sauna and gym. Walking distance to everything we wanteed Lock box was very har\d to get into and the parking was confusing.
- Joan (7/5): Comfortable mainly but a few things were not great for the price we paid. - Building site next door. Noisy every morning. Pillows not good. Difficult to access the key from a car park and being short in stature and short sighted as well, we found it impossible to reach and type in the codes. Help was needed.
- Henry (3/5): Disappointing - The room hadn't been cleaned at all on arrival. We had to sit around in a dirty apartment for 3 hrs when we arrived.
The $250 deposit didn't get put back into account until I called 2 weeks later and finally spoke to someone
- Lisa (2/5): Terrible - Very run down - 1 room had a bright light shining in through thin blinds - no chance of sleep
- Harrison (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paul (2/5): Uncomfortable. Should have warned me of construction at the time of booking. - Good location near the convention centre The apartment is very tired and run down. Could easily and quickly be spruced up.
Beds are quite uncomfortable.
At the time of my stay (Mar 2025), there was significant construction going on immediately outside the main bedroom and balcony, including construction work from 7am, and bright spotlights onto the main bedroom window overnight that made sleeping in the main room impossible. The 2nd bedroom had no windows at all, which in most circumstances would also be intolerable, but given the main bedroom was so bright overnight, it provided some relief.
The construction is NOT new, and would have been known about at the time of my booking the room, and will likely continue for at least another 6-12 months I would imagine looking at the state of construction. As such, the apartment was very poor value for money.
- Jones (1/5): Never book here, stay somewhere cheaper that is safe and clean!! - Do not stay here!! I booked a non refundable booking, encountered dodgy men in the lift who told my friend and I they would “see us later” and suggested if you stay there regularly they “take care of you”. My friend and I felt uneasy. On our way out mentioned the encounter to someone who identified they live there and our unease was valid as they informed us there was a drug and prostitution problem there. After 5 mins in the building, not a single thing used, we left and booked elsewhere. Relayed this to the property and they refused to refund us. This is not safe avoid avoid avoid!!! Also the room smelled terrible and it didn’t feel clean. I was worried about bed bugs. The drugs and prostitution problem and the fact I wasn’t refunded any money.
- Eva (8/5): Very good -
- Kellie (4/5): Terrible stay I hope this helps someone.Please do not stay at in this apartment. - It was in a good position.. Only good thing I can say . How do I start ? ?????
Well firstly there were no towels so we had to go purchase our own . When I rang about this the person lied and said they would be coming later in day .
We did not receive the towels until the day before we left at 4pm . The toilet leaked and I reported this straight away however they were not worried about it because it was not leaking into the kitchen area on the carpet.
The dishes were dirty so I had to wash everything before I used anything.
I am still waiting on my $250 deposit. Even though I left the property cleaner than I found it. I was told we would get our deposit back as soon as they had inspected apartment ( which was another lie ).
The view was of construction to which started at 7 am for the entire trip . It was noisy and the workers said they were sorry but could not keep it to minimal noise . I do not hold the workers responsible for this as they were just doing there job .
When I tried to get towel at the desk ( because it was not tied with Oaks embassy ) they refused and made many remarks to me about how bad the Swainson company was .
I hope someone reads this and decides not to stay with Swainson, it was appalling and probably the worst place I have ever stayed. After making this complaint I am wondering if I will get my deposit back , even though I took complete video footage of how I left the apartment.
Bring your own batteries as the remote batteries were flat and did not work . We had to also purchase our own batteries.
I also received a message to ask us to leave feedback if the establishment was not 10/10
I would give it a 1 ….
- Christina (6/5): Was very nice! The damages needed to be fixed or or we should have been told about it before entering the accomodation. - Very close to the CBD, great view from the balcony There were multiple things broken. The lounge room tv didn’t work, there was no remote for the curtains, cling wrap around the smoke detectors, and one of the shower heads were broken.
- Jodie (8/5): Great location. Staff helpful - Great location. Was a little tired.
- Sheree (10/5): Great place with a great value - It looked nicer than I expected so I was very pleased with the property. Location is really great. Close to everything. I will be staying there again. Nothing
- Meg (7/5): Good -
- Angela (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rabhya (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mohammed (5/5): I wouldn’t stay there again after the customer service experience I received - 2 bedroom Very very poor customer service. When we arrived and followed the check in instructions there was no key in the key box. When I called the 1800 number the lady who answered was absolutely rude. We had to wait half an hr until it was all sorted it out.
- Ashton (10/5): Was great. Watched TV and had a few drinks. - It was convenient and it had a nice view and really nice Aircon One of the rooms had 2 single beds combined instead of a double bed
- Bianca (5/5): Passable -
- Mary (3/5): Appartment not clean and no air conditioning made the stay very uncomfortable. - Location was very good, During a very hot weekend, we were told prior to arrival that the air conditioning failed and we were to be provided with portable coolers - that did not help. Most uncomfortable in the apartment.
- Judd (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hill (10/5): Exceptional - Great location Little tricky to get key with booking but was helped out on the phone
- Sophie (6/5): Room spacious but quite a few issues - The apartment was spacious and the couch was comfortable and main bedroom was a great size. We were told we could only get into the property at 5:30 after I had booked a non-refundable room. The air conditioning did not work well and it was a hot day. There were no forks in the draws and I couldn’t reach the room box inside the lock box which made it difficult to access keys. Jo notice of building works directly outside of balcony.
- Rebekah (9/5): Superb - The place was very clean and had everything that you needed The aur conditioning was not working well was very hot
- Sara (8/5): Great location; perfect sized apartment for a couple or even two; cleanliness could be better; a few maintenance issues - The location was perfect for us. Host had left the air conditioning on for us which was very welcoming on a hot day. It was well set up with almost everything we needed. There were some areas that had obviously been missed by the cleaner; spilled food next to the fridge, a piece of rubbish also next to the fridge, a sticky spot on the floor just inside the door, food crumbs in the kitchen drawers and food in the kitchen sink, there was only one fork; shower could have done with a deep clean, only one working light in the bathroom.
The lock on the sliding door to the balcony needs to be repaired or replaced. There were no instructions for the air conditioning and some information on the building’s facilities would have been useful.
