3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW

Paid $99 for a very standard room with double and single bed. Sis in double slept o.k., once our neighbours stopped walking up and down the wooden verandah. I moved the single mattress to the floor (the 100 year old steel framed bed with springs wobbled all over the place). We had a choice to either run the aircon, or... More

This is a typical outback motel. It is basic at best, and the food here has been better. The wine list is limited because the general idea is that real men only drink beer! Avoid the garlic prawns! TV is limited to 3 channels! Haven't they heard of satellite free to air TV??? I paid for a standard room, as... More

Whatever to pros and cons of this hotel - one issue needs attention. It's possible to feel a tingling sensation when touching to the taps while showing. This problems seems to affect the two northern blocks (where we stayed both times - but could be a problem else-where) Clearly this is a situation that management needs address without delay.

250 ks South of Coober Pedy, cold beer, great meals, comfortable rooms. Glendambo Hotel is 250 ks South of Coober Pedy, there are no other chances for fuel in between, so if you are on a Motor Bike be aware please, and if you are towing a Caravan take note if there is North or North Westerly Wind.

On the way back bypassed Coober Pedy and stayed in a standard room ... up market furnishings with a large glass front and flat screen. Pub meals are excellent and home cooked as advertised. Staff helpful and friendly. Defiantly... More

Comfortable stay; just remember you are in the outback, there is constant dust storms, rodents , pests etc. don't forget the heat. We found the stay comfortable after a long drive. Rooms weren't the cleanest however that was expected. Meal were fantastic, one of the best meals we had whilst travelling around Australia.
