Guest Reviews
- Jade (8/5): - Everything Nothing
- Stephen (8/5): GOOOD VALUE - TABLES FULL. OFFERED MEAL AT BAR. FOOD GOOD. ROOM GOOD ROOM NEEDED SOME MAINTAINCE. THOUGH SMALL IMPORTANT TO MAKE GOOD INTO EXCELLENT
- Glenn (7/5): -
- Fadare (8/5): -
- Jacky (9/5): - Convenience / Location, Value and Service Discomforted by the homeless sleeping around the premises.
- Rebecca (10/5): -
- Paul (7/5): Nice big rooms. - Nice and big room, Spa was excellent. Even with the blinds down the lights out the front of the room shining through the glass light up the whole room making it difficult to sleep.
- Stuart (10/5): -
- Alan (8/5): Would stay again just for the restaurant, excellent staffing - The restaurant and bar were excellent, design of the round large tables to accommodate 10 people was much better than one long table It’s on a main road and traffic noise for accommodation in front units is a bit unsettling. Back units probably better. Check in and check out was easy and having breakfast cereal etc already in room was lovely start to an early departure
- Rachael (10/5): Great stay - Room was clean and bed was comfortable
- Martin (10/5): -
- Thomas (10/5): Excellent - I loved the breakfast supplies, nice variety.
- Jamie McDonough (7/5): - Size of room Bed uncomfortable
- Bernadette (7/5): It’s okay - It was close to shops Couldn’t open windows
- Mandi Lee (7/5): - Nice big room and comfortable bed Too much light coming through the blinds. Very loud hotel patrons in the carpark.
- Lynda (7/5): - Easy to find, continental breakfast was great and the meals were lovely. It is on a busy road but that was expected to be a little noisy.
- KIRSTY (10/5): It was such a great place to stay,Thank you!! - It was neat & clean,provided a lot of food options & bathroom options I we could smell someone smoking outside their door
- Peter (5/5): - Price Wifi useless
- Andrew (8/5): -
- Jodi (7/5): -
- Smith (7/5): Ok for price but highway noise was very noticeable. - Good value for money (budget). Very noisey near highway.
- Guest (8/5): -
- Andrew (9/5): - Whole layout of facility from gaming room, bar and dining room. Accomodation room was good. We had the spa room and both enjoyed the spa but I had trouble getting out and my wife did not feel safe standing in it for a shower.
- Peter (9/5): Xxx - Xxx Xxx
- Troy (10/5): - Great value for money hotel in the NE suburbs of Adelaide
- Robyn (8/5): excellent value for money - the free breakfast was great being a friday night when we stayed it was a bit loud as we were right near the main bar
- Effie (10/5): Best place we stayed so far on our trip. Bonus breakfast was a great treat - Locality All was perfect
- Christopher (8/5): Great stu - Good location, quiet and peaceful Nothing
- Prabhsimranjeet (5/5): - N/A Bedding needs to be fixed, the bed kept on moving all the time due to spining tyres , ended up banging my head om the back wall because bed moved suddenly, front door wasnt easy to open, it opened after 10 card taps.
- Craig (6/5): - Location The restaurant was poor in Quality. Food had to be returned.
- Natalie E Smith (10/5): -
- Peter (9/5): - Room was ok but traffic noise was bad The noise of traffic so close we were out the front we normally are out the back
- PAULA (8/5): - Location and room was spacious Restaurant was not open for long wk end so had to try to find dinner option elsewhere
- Phil (10/5): - Location meals and price Nuffin
- Linda (6/5): Only if you have to - Nice big room, had a continental breakfast in the room Check in was long winded, so slow. Had to pay a $200 bond because I had a debit card. Even though I had already pre paid the entire room cost up front. Room was quiet, but the block out blinds didn't and the room was SO light. Outside light of 3000 watt shone through the gaps. Was so bright I could read from it. Awful. Told lights couldn't be turned off. Shower was climbing in and out of a deep spa corner bath - with an uneven base.
- Tracy (9/5): -
- stephen (5/5): - Ok continental breakfast No microwave no usb charger Even on low fridge froze contents and bottles exploded
- Kaye (10/5): Perfect spot for a fabulous night. - The location suited us perfectly. The premises was neat and tidy. The staff were outstanding. The room was just what we needed.
- Hamilton (8/5): - Had the Lamb Skewers they were not advertised as peppered Lamb Skewers I could not eat it all as it was to hot if were advertised as peppered lamb I would have ordered something els
- Phillip (5/5): - Wasn't after anything particular just cheap place to stay Blinds didn't cover windows enough and could see into room from outside at night and the amount of light coming in from outside lighting
- Casey (9/5): I would stay again - Staff were very attentive to the cleanliness of the room. Nice restaurant and entertainment facilities. Would have been nice to have a toaster and an option for alternative milks with breakfast.
- Lena (9/5): - Staff were very accommodating, handy having a restaurant in the facility, clean and good location. Just unfortunate the hotel is near busy road and area is a thorough fare for aeroplanes so definitely buy earplugs. The back door was hard to open and close. There wasn't room in the fridge to put your own things and no microwave oven.
- Marcia (6/5): - We'll equip room. Shower leaked, bond hold was a refund transaction of 5 days.
- Kate (10/5): -
- Troy (10/5): Great suburban hotel with all necessary facilities - Good value room , was spacious and clean. The spa was a bonus
- Mary (8/5): Very pleasant - Close to shops The stairs,and door hard to open
- Allannah (1/5): - I was told the day I checked in that I needed a credit card to avoid paying a $200 deposit on top of my accommodation price. Not everyone has a credit card and can afford just to chuck an extra $200 on a deposit at last minute.
- Isidoro (10/5): - Everything good thank
- Lea (10/5): -
- Helen (8/5): -
- Bibek (6/5): -
- Rajiv (7/5): - Spacious room Toilet door could not lock. Webs on ventilation SPA water jet was weak. Towel rack on wrong side of SPA. No bottle opener available
- Julie (10/5): -
- patrick (8/5): -
- Iley (10/5): -
- Joberi (8/5): -
- Gilbert (7/5): -
- Vesna (4/5): - Nice comfortable bed with good linen. The spa bath with shower over top was clearly dangerous, with slip factor and height and would not pass any safety standards that I could see. The towel rack was positioned directly under the shower head. And the shower head was too high to be able to adjust. So even though it was on a chain, it was unusable. The light on the porch is so bright at night is like daylight.
- Pantelis (3/5): Have stayed at the other rooms b4 with a much better experience. Unfortunately this time I can’t say the same. - Not much tbh The rooms window covers allowed outsiders to be able to see in, no privacy unfortunately
- Danielle (8/5): -
- Megan (10/5): -
- Shannon (7/5): Good all over and good value but location is why I might choose elsewhere next time - Staff were friendly and attentive. Location. Local traffic and locals in general were noisy late night/early mornings
- Rod (5/5): -
- Andy (6/5): It was good, could’ve been improved but overall decent. - Very spacious room, nice bed and couch ect to sit. Spa bath (paid extra for the spa room) didn’t have a plug. So couldn’t use the main feature we paid extra for. Also was very hard to shower inside of the spa bath and the shower head was way too high.
- Brooke (7/5): -
- Ian (8/5): Would stay again - Breakfast provisions were very good Bed was a but small but ok - there was a light outside that we could not turn into off
- Michael (10/5): - Excellent place to stay
- Leif (5/5): A little disappointed. - The size of the room and the comfort of the bed were good. Cleanliness was good. Little things. 1) no facility for charging phones. 2) no sugar or sweetener in the tea and coffee pack. 3) The door on the outside looked like someone had tried to bash it down. The scars were obvious. 4) The male receptionist although efficient, portrayed an attitude that he would rather be elsewhere than checking us in. We regularly use this hotel and usually are made to feel very welcome and we are hoping that this doesn't reflect a change in approach.
- Conrad (9/5): Overall great - Excellent location, spacious room, kept very clean The bed wasn’t so comfortable, mattress may need replacing
- Michael (4/5): - Der Gesamteindruck war absolut enttäuschend. Das Zimmer war sehr karg eingerichtet, der Wohlfühlfaktor war gleich 0. Das"Highlight" war das Frühstück. Im Zimmer lagen 4 kleinen Tüten Cornflakes mit kleinen Tetrapacks Milch. Dazu ein Wasserkocher mit Instantcaffee. Das Bett war eher eine ausgezogene Couch als ein Bett, ist schon beim hinsetzen weggerollt. Haben das Zimmer am selben Tag noch storniert und für den nahezu gleichen Preis ein sehr gutes Hotel direkt in der Innenstadt bekommen.
- Sushil (10/5): -
- Andrew (1/5): -
- Geoffrey (7/5): would stay again - room was good only complaint was the freezer in the mini bar fridge needed defrosting badly , it was almost solid ice
- peter (6/5): -
- Christine (7/5): It was all we needed for our stay value for money. - The room was basic but clean and tidy. It did include breakfast. The price was very good, The bed was not made during our stay. One morning did not get all our breakfast items. No facecloth in bathroom.
- Leif (7/5): Good basic place to stay - Staff were good and rapid dealt with an issue. Plug missing from spa. Requested early check in - heard nothing
- Jason (10/5): - Better than 5 stars
- Daniela (10/5): -
- Alan (4/5): will not recommend and won't stay their again. - meals were average pub type meals but ok, staff were very friendly. our Supreme Spa Room was supreme maybe 10 year's ago! carpet was stained damaged and dirty, staff gave me a bucket because the roof leaked when it rained at the same place where repairs had been attempted before, that would explain the damp musky smell, the spa is not suitably accessable for elderly or people with any form movement restrictions, and the shower is over the spa bath that has split level base to try stand on, the shower head on a flexible hose was in a holder that is approximately 2.5 meters high, I am 180cm and at full stretch I could only just reach it, that's a liability accident waiting to happen, our 3 cups in our room were very stained one with 2 coffee stained rings inside, I asked the cleaner as I was leaving our room for the Dat for some clean cups, on return we checked and the cups had been rinsed dried and replaced with the exact same stains still there and again on the 3rd day.
- ANNE (10/5): Very enjoyable , restaurant was lovely , we had to report a child crying in the next room and the security guard attende - As we had a situation at Home we had too leave our accommodation on the Sunday 11/2/26 , when we spoke to Highlander Hotel they advised that we could receive a refund on the last night We would stay their again
- Rahul (6/5): - Location very nice , The room cleanliness was not up to the mark, and the front desk staff were not very polite.
- Marlow (9/5): -
- Alida (10/5): For the price great value clean and friendly staff - Tidy and even supplied light breakfast
- Yevgeniy (7/5): - Местоположение Тяжело попасть внутрь вечером на ресепшен
- Debora (8/5): -
- GAIL (5/5): - room size for 3 was good.staff cleaning good.our room was a spa room but no instructions how to use it breakfast information.they touted a continental breakfast but all that was there in room was 50gram packets of cereal and packets of 2 sweet biscuits.not my idea of a contiental breakfast.also no after hours emergency contact.only ooo.I thought the meals were meagre in size for price asked.we ate elswherewe had the fire alarms go off at 3am and were turned off at 5.30am
- Rajapakse (9/5): - We enjoyed the stay. Nice clean place. With everything close by.
- Meeya (4/5): Fire alarm went off at 3 am didn’t get turned off until 4:30 am beds were uncomfortable but location and staff were very - It was in a good area and easy to locate It wasn’t a comfortable stay
- Vini (10/5): -
- Shruti (10/5): -
- Toni (9/5): Lovely venue and lots to do arround the hotel during the day with lots of food places to choose from - I liked how open the rooms were and how much space there was in the venue and how separated all sections where yet it was still easy to find places within the property Absolutely nothing it was amazing to say and would stay again
- Beverly (6/5): - Stuff not very helpful or would I say is not very accommodating much Thank you
- Amber (10/5): Comfortable spacious accommodation - Friendly staff, spacious clean room with complimentary breakfast items. Not noisy and comfortable.
