“Good experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

We stayed there during 2010 Christmas and I'm quite surprised with the amount of poor reviews it had as in general we had a good experience.

The place is probably not the most clean you will find but it was alright, we had no issues with bugs. The look of the place is very nice although the building is old. The common area is inviting and I felt comfortable most of the time. We had a couple of activities in the common areas which were nice also.

The staff were friendly to us, not all of them, and all the time I must say, but in general they were nice to us and helpful.

I would definitely stay there again.

“do not stay there !”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2011

people found this review helpful

if u don't want to end in a hospital, don't stay there ! the rooms are bed bugs infected, you can find more similar stories in other reviews on the internet. the building is about 140 years old, and thats really how it looks like, filthy in any way. it would be better to take an XXL Caterpiller and just run over it ...
ps. the staff is very rude and useless !
worst place i ever stayed in 25 years of travelling

“Lovely place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

person found this review helpful

I loved it from the moment I entered the room. It was quite big, with a decent bathroom fitted with a real bathtub instead of a shower:-) Free toast, jam and coffee for breakfast was also a good thing. When you add friendly staff and sensible location, you get a perfect place to stay in Adelaide.

“Ok the only way i will know if what most are saying about this place is to go there and see it for myself.”

I have stayed at Annie's place in the past and apart from finding that the staff could be very rude and unfriendly i really have no complaints.
However if it is now as bad as a lot of people are saying then why has it not been closed down ?
By the sound of it a lot of people are angered enough to write a bad review on this place but not angered enough to contact the organisations that have the power to close it down or atleast force them to clean up their act.
When i first read the reviews on here i had to check that we were actually talking about the same place that i had stayed at in the past.
Infact i had planned to stay there again within the next month and after reading about bed bugs and damp walls etc i thought there is no way i am going back there.
But then i decided, No i will go back just to see if what most people have written about this place is true.
At the risk of being eaten alive by bed bugs and catching food poisoning or whatever other ghastly thing that it appears may happen to me i will conduct my own investigation of this place and will get to the bottom of this once and for all as this hardly sounds like the Annies Place in Adelaide that i have stayed at.

Room Tip: Ok i am off to Annies on a secret mission with pen and paper in hand to get to the bottom of all thi...
