“Very enjoyable, relaxing”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 March 2009

The unit we stayed in was very clean, decor very tasteful, washing machine tumble dryer, air conditioned, there were a couple of things the downside, the unit faces the main road could not sleep with window open also the street lights directly in front of bedroom window lit the room making it difficult to sleep however it would not put me off recommending these apartments. Great location, city bus takes 10 mins if that, great places to eat on Melbourne St. Oh there was one other thing our apartment was the only one that did not have an outdoor setting on the balcony, when we mentioned it to the staff she said she would pass the information on...

“Not Grand anymore”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2008

We've stayed at the Grand Apartments before and enjoyed it. However sadly the property isn't so 'grand' anymore.

The apartment we stayed in was run down and had broken chairs, a missing lightbulb in the leving area as well as a broken safety chain on the entrance door. Basic but important maintenance is obviously being neglected. As well there were significant stains on the carpet.

Reporting problems didn't seem to help. Apparently the chain is opening another property and that is the priority at the moment. During our stay we also ran out of toilet paper but with the limited office hours at the Grand, we couldn't get an additional supply.

This was once a terrifci place to stay but, like so many others, it has been neglected and money is not being spent too maintain the basics.

We were very disappointed would not recommend a stay here unless you're happy to pay a premium price for a not-so-premium experience.

“Clean and spacious”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 April 2008
1
person found this review helpful

Grand apartments are on Melbourne Street, North Adelaide about a 30 minute walk from the centre of town. There are many restaurants, cafes and boutique stores in this very pleasant suburb.

A great place to stay. However, ask for an apartment overlooking the courtyard as the front ones face onto the main road (not great to have a balcony where people on the street are directly below you!).

  • Liked — spacious rooms, good facilities in the apartments
  • Disliked — some balconies overlook a main road

“A handy place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2006
3
people found this review helpful

Three of us shared a two-bedroomed apartment when in Adelaide for the Ashes cricket test (about which the less said the better). The apartment is about a 25 minute walk to the Adelaide Oval across beautiful parks. The apartment was excellent, modern, spacious and clean with all the equipment you might want. It is advertised as being serviced, but the servicing is only done once a week. The best thing is the location on Melbourne Street, a lively little street with loads of restaurants. A convenience store, a wine merchant and an excellent pub, the Lord Melbourne, all within a couple of hundred meters or less.
