“Surrounded By The Best Of Adelaide”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

You couldn't get much closer to the heart of Adelaide if you stay at the Paringa. Only a matter of metres from the Rundle Mall and surrounded by many eating and drinking establishments, the Paringa is ideal for those who want to sample the delights of the CBD(and Hindley St). Building is old but rooms are comfortable and had no trouble sleeping....was not bothered by street noise at all. Staff were extremely helpful and very friendly. Cafe Boulevard downstairs the ideal place for brekky and The Little Pub Off Hindley Street a matter of metres from reception. And only 10 mins walk from the Adelaide Oval(take note cricket fans!). If you're looking for a good basic place to stay and priced accordingly(and so well positioned)the Paringa is for you.

“A dirty hole”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

We had booked a budget room and got a stinky dirty hole, awfull.
After complainting we got a room which was called a luxury room.
It was less dirty and less stinky, but the bed sheets were dirty and had not been changed after the guests before.
Avoid that hotel!
Extremely dangerous parking, because parking lots are very tight, several cars were already damaged because of that.

Dear Guest
Although we are disappointed by your title of the review, we respect all guests' right to their own opinion. I note that you have incorrectly named our room types (we do not have luxury rooms) and we certainly have not had reports damaged cars in our car park (I have viewed our extensive car park video footage), and we have had no reports of dirty linen during the period that you claim to have stayed with us.
I invite you to contact me directly to discuss your apparent stay, so perhaps we can get a more balanced understanding of your reported displeasure with our hotel.
Thank you
John Ryan

“Run down”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We booked a supposedly delux spa room for 2 nights expect the spa did not work! Great location but needs some maintenance work carried out all over. Toilet flush was broken, ironing board the same. Even some lights in the room did not turn on. The parking spaces are so tight they can be a nighmare if you have a medium size vehicle. One day even the lift stopped working.
Staff give a sweet smile and prosmise that they will have the issues ironed out, expect they dont seem to happen. So if you're after only location, its the best. If you'd like a certain decent standard or accomodation, give it a pass.

Room Tip: None really, probably stay clear of this joint.

Dear Guest

Thank you for sharing your experiences on Trip Advisor and apologies for what seemed to be a disappointing stay with us at Adelaide Paringa.

It does appear that there were a few maintenance issues in your room and if indeed they were passed on to our reception team then I can assure you that they would have been fixed. I think you may be surprised at how quickly we act on these issues!

I agree with our location, it is the best, and we pride ourselves on offering a high value and low cost option for travellers. I do hope we may have the opportunity to welcome you back the hotel in the future and turn around your opinion of us!

Thank you again

John

“Central location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Perfect location: Cafes, bars on Hindley St., shopping in Rundle Mall, heaps of restaurants in Rundle St. walking distance to park and museum. At Tram stop to Glenelg (excellent city beach). Secure car parking for $15. Laundry facility opposite to the hotel ($5 incl. washing powder). Friendly service, however some staff needs to be briefed more thoroughly on car park use and laundry costs. Only one PC for public use - relatively pricy. Coffee/ Tea provided for free. Big and tidy rooms, although the decor is a little dated. We stayed in a Standard Triple Room. Good value for money. If you just want somewhere basic to sleep a Standard Room is ok - some Standard double rooms only have interior windows facing a wall. Otherwise upgrade to a Deluxe Room. All rooms have Air Conditioning as windows cannot be opened. Would stay there again.
