So we try to do something nice and pick a 4 or preferably 5 star hotel to stay in. We hadn't stayed at The Hilton before and it was more expensive than other similar hotels, but with the Hilton brand we expected it to be really good. We spent a similar amount on a King deluxe room as we could have got a nicer room elsewhere (eg: small suite). We got breakfast as well. What was nice. The room was clean with stickers everywhere saying it had been 'Covid cleaned'. The bed was comfy. Temperature control was good and water pressure was great. Concierge were nice and friendly. Took a while for the Honors app digital key to kick in, but that was a nice touch. And when a room a couple of doors down stated playing music so loud it was thumping through ours, they were quick to come up and handle the situation. What could have been better. No robes - we had to call down and they supplied them within 10 minutes with many apologies. No top sheet on the bed. Again, a call downstairs and they fixed that too. Less than one roll of toilet paper supplied - glad we didn't run out, though came close. Room service stops at 10pm - seems a little early for a 5 star hotel. And if we did want anything, well $8.50 for a bottle of water? (There's no mini-bar due to Covid, so room service is your only option if you need something). Their online info says we can use our own subscriptions for Apple TV, Netflix etc but we couldn't find instructions on the TV as stated and by that stage, we were just a little over the whole thing so didn't bother calling for assistance. I'm tech savvy and if I need help to get that working, I wonder how others might fare. And it's a little thing, but I expect the toilet roll holder in a 5 star hotel to be complete, but half of it was missing. It just looks shabby and dated, as if they don't worry much about maintenance. And that's probably a statement of the place as a whole - it's clean, but dated. Breakfast was just a let down. It was obvious they'd been cooking food for a while, as the bacon was dry and chewy, but they hadn't put the tags out to state what was under each of the cloches. And when I came to use the toaster, one of the staff wiped down the knobs and in so doing turned the setting up to charcoal (I think technically it was "dark", but the result was the same). Coffee was served in individual plungers, but they didn't put anywhere near enough coffee in, so the result was so weak it was almost tasteless. And then for some reason they supplied the milk in another coffee mug, so trying to pour inevitably resulted in a pool of milk on the table. These are little things - but they just suggest they're not prepared for their guests. You might excuse one, but after half a dozen issues it's just not 5 star quality. Finally, the parking is a 5 minute walk away and with Covid, no valet service - fair enough. They offered a ticket for a local car park for $25. We declined but ending up parking in the same car park. We paid $8 instead. That's just a rip-off. Summary Charges like a 5 star hotel, but misses the mark. Promised much but delivered little. We won't be back.

5 start hotel just not up to scratch…read more Firstly, this is not a whingefest, just a really disappointing experience which I find inexcusable for a 5 star hotel. Lot of little things resulted in a poor stay. - stained sheets (rust or blood) which we were promised would be changed immediately, but an hour later still nothing done. - restaurant (Riverside) just not on par. From giving away our table one morning after we'd been seated to having my breakfast delivered to the wrong table the next, non-existent service and limited dinner menu, it was just not good enough. - incorrect information bring given by concierge about availability of hire bikes - beds had a distinct ridge in the middle (no doubt result of 2 singles being pushed together) which made it very uncomfortable In short, it says 5 stars, but it really isn't and probably shouldn't market itself as such.

Okay, I haven't been here all that often, despite walking past here quite a few times (it is conveniently located opposite the central markets and across the road from Her Majesty's theatre). The pub has a lovely restaurant with a non-smoking beer garden (all the smokers end up at the tables on Grote Street, which tends to get pretty crowded on a Friday). The bar itself is also really nice, though does get pretty crowded as well. They have an okay selection of beers available, but it is one of those Adelaide pubs that I do really like.

For years I never thought much of the Metropolitan Hotel…read more Trashy sports bar, seats out the front look ok, never really bothered to look out the back. Until a couple of weeks ago that was, when I saw a bunch of kids trundling in with guitars, amps and the like which roused my curiosity. After drinking a beer at the bar next door and then witnessing another couple of young punks with instruments heading in my curiosity overwhelmed me and I was forced to follow suit. To my surprise, in the back corner of the Metropolitan was a music venue! Not knowing then and certainly not recalling now the names of the bands performing, I paid the $5 entry fee (well actually my girlfriend paid the $5 entry fee for me cos I couldn't afford it) and headed in. Completely out of place and somewhat resembling the aspect of an early Beasty Boys film clip, the venue presented a low lying stage in the back corner of a dimly lit and sparsely furnished room. Furnished, really, only with the gauntly bodies of young punks haunched against the walls. But the most amazing thing was, that I was witnessing this from outside, from a beer garden in which I could not only see and hear the band playing, but I could also smoke. Surely now unique in Adelaide and fundamentally a thing of the past the Metropolitan presents a venue where one can watch live music, drink a beer and smoke at the same time. As for the quality of the music, well, that's never really been much of a concern anyway.

However I think this place is actually really cool. It is not the busiest, or noisiest of places, which means that I can come here for a quiet drink and know that I am not going to be disturbed. I've also been told that this place happens to be a favourite for some of the engineers that work down at the RAAF base, which to me, gives this place a lot more dignity. I even ended up having a chat with somebody about blogging and the internet, which I would never have expected to happen in Elizabeth.

As far as bang for your buck, this is one of the best I've had in Adelaide…read more We stayed over night just recently for about $105, including parking. I was really quite impressed when I walked in. For that price, I was expecting a complete dump, or at least something very poor. I've paid more to stay in really bad places before. But lo and behold, the place is actually alright. It's a bit shabby in places, a bit dated, but it's comfortable, the rooms are generally graced with modern furniture, and the location is pretty awesome. The only thing that I really thought was a bit low rent was the shower, but that's not a big deal, and it isn't that bad. It's very clean, just very aged. Good place to stay.

Things have certainly changed since those days, and while I would like to say that the Ambassadors hasn't, I have to admit that in a way it has. Okay, they still have the restaurant upstairs (which I have frequented a number of times - it's pretty classy) and I'm not sure if that basement bar is still there (it is usually closed when I came by), but the Marble Bar is still out the back, and is still pretty much the same, with the exception that it now has a back door that opens out into a, well, not so much a beer garden, but a beer alley way spot to sit down (and they have another bar behind that). I'm not actually sure what to call it, except that it is out the back in the alley, but it is still pretty cool because it actually adds a bit of a grunge element to what in former times was sort of a classy bar, but not really.
