    Staff was friendly and the location was great. Only major complaint: the room was pretty cold and a bad heater and the shower had two temperatures: really hot and really cold. Once they tack on the tax (not shown) the rate for a private ensuite is comparable to a hotel.

    5 x Cirkling around the block with my rental car and GPS before i got it was on the small backyard-street. Good place , should have given it more time than just a weekend.

    My only real issue with the Adelaide is that there wasn't enough space to sit up on the bottom bunks. The ceilings were plenty high enough, so I don't know why they didn't get normal ones. But the bathrooms were clean, the oatmeal at breakfast (with raisins and cinnamon and apples cooked in)... more

    Our second time staying here; we really like it, has character and a perfect location. Simple, but clean and good value. The Post Street location, where we stayed both times, is really more like a hotel.

    We were diverted to the Dakota Hotel where the staff were less than helpful, the lift was trying, and both the roof and the radiator leaked, left wet patches on the ground and a dank smell in the air. Service from staff was extremely poor. Although the oatmeal at breakfast was excellent.

    I checked in at Adelaide, but they sent us to Dakota Hotel. Much better looking than the Adelaide. The room was clean and large. The only problem was that we had to go to the adelaide to have breakfast. I'd stay there again

    I stayed at the Dakota. The wireless connection was not great, actually it was pretty bad. It's a bit noisy and the sheets were stained. The closet's doors were broken too... But for everything else it is perfect!

    La cocina esta cerrada de 6.30 a 8.30 porque ellos la usan como restaurant, o sea que si no pagas el menu, NO podes usar la cocina en ese momento. PESIMO...lo mejor es que esta muy bien ubicado!!! malo: parte de la gente que trabaja ahi es un poco ruidosa!!!

    We stayed in a private room at both The Adelaide, and then booked again a few days later and got put in the Dakota. Polar opposite experiences with regards to room quality, staff, wifi etc. Try to get in the Adelaide (even if only to save the walk across the road to grab the awesome breakfasts!).

    The heating couldn't be switched off, so you had to open the window. Because it was windy, the window was banging all the time, so it was all in all quite noisy.
