Fantastic Edwardian house. Is very cheap, comes with breakfast. Has parking, you will need a car if you stay here or bring your hiking boots! It is a bit of a hike to the city centre.
Could do with some renovations, but I guess they would then have to put the prices up.
They have better maps of Adelaide than the tourist office; and lots of info.

The location of this place is great. It's a lovely, quiet area. We had a car and there was adequate parking at the rear of the building. But without a car I think this location would be a nuisance as it's a bit far out of town.

It is a lovely big old house, but the rooms are dated. The small bathroom had a shower, mirror & toilet. But the hand basin was in the bedroom! This was really annoying! And the toilet was tucked alongside the shower, with not very much room either side. So I don't think larger people would be able to use the toilet comfortably. There was a desk & chairs in the room, which were adequate.

We stayed two nights and only dealt with one staff member. He was courteous and helpful. The continental breakfast was lovely.

Our room was equipped with a very old air conditioner. It really wasn't adequate for Adelaide's hot summers.

Nice place, helpful desk, decent location (need a car). Pleasant experience!

The Princes Lodge Motel (more like a B&B than a motel) is, I concede, budget accommodation. However, I paid the bargain basement price of $AU63.00 per night for a basic room with simple continental breakfast! Sure the rooms are old, pokey and rather Spartan. But, the PL was clean, the staff pleasant and the location superb. The Princes Lodge is located in the heritage area of North Adelaide. The main building would have been a stylish house in its’ day. The ‘Coach House’ is also converted to several guestrooms. The Princes Lodge is only a 5-10 minute walk to the restaurant and pub strip in O’Connell Street. You would need to arrive by taxi or private vehicle as the PL is located a couple of blocks from public transport. In summary, the PL is far from 5 stars – but it is no Backpackers either. If you want to stay in a really nice area of Adelaide at a cheap price and are not expecting too much, the PL is worth a try.
