Two grips however it doesn't have a pool, and the roof view to the west looks at skyscrapers and roof tops. However if you are an early riser check out the roof top at sunrise. Ohhhhh two more negatives sorry when you are pay $400 a night for your room the least they could do is actually make you a fresh cup of coffee. UNFORTUNATELY! The have one of those automatic push the button and the machine pours out brown water with no flavor! If you ask for a real cup of coffee they want to charge you more for it. Seriously $400 dollars for my room and I still have to pay for my coffee! So I giving it a very weak 4 star's just like there weakest coffee possible! Yuk!

On my most recent trip to Australia, this was most definitely my favorite hotel. I could pretty…read moremuch sum it all up in one word: luxury.. Ok, maybe I'd throw in the word comfort too, for this hotel had the most comfortable bed of my entire two week trip. Yup, I was as snug as a little joey in his mother's pouch. Oh, and the carpeted floors were simply Heaven with so much spongy padding underneath the carpet that I felt like I was walking on a cloud. I swear this experience was just like taking a trip to a spa, and it had me crying, "Why can't my carpets at home be this awesome!" Finally, the location of this one rocks!! The whole area near the hotel is loaded with bars and restaurants of just about every style--why I even found a sushi conveyor-belt restaurant around the corner. Kanpai! Yes Sir, whatever language you want to say it in---Kanpai, Cheers, Hooray, or Good On YA ----The Majestic Roof Garden Hotel is a winner.

Sure, it is a really tacky hotel with over priced drinks and a pretty ordinary restaurant, but I have to say that the vibe was pretty shocking. To describe this place a casual is to give it way too much credit. It is sort of one of those pubs that you would expect a fight to break out any minute, especially during a football match. When I came here the sports bar was packed out, and the only decent place to sit - the veranda out the front, didn't really look all that welcoming. It you are driving down Grand Junction Road and see this place - just drive on, you will be better for it.

The name is a tad corny, giving the impression of a heavily themed venue but rest assured this is…read morenot the case. In actuality Camelot Castle is one of the few remaining quirky, hidden gems of the Adelaide Hills. Still, it is a castle. With loads of stonework and battlements, and inside, a few decorative shields and swords, there is no shortage of character. One aspect of medieval times that could be left in the past is the gloom of the main dining (or banquet) hall. The low lighting does work well with the traditional exposed timbers, but it feels a little like a dungeon when you come in from the bright of outside. The food and drink are excellent, and the house wines whilst looking like cheaply labeled clean skins are a world better than the goon you might otherwise expect. The location is Camelot's best feature. Often when people say hidden, they mean "not many people know about it yet" or "it's just off the main street" but in this case, it is literally hidden. In an orchard filled valley, tucked in against the side of a steep hill, the entrance is only visible for a moment before you're around the next corner. Also, due to the terrain mobile phone coverage is near non-existent, which also affects the accuracy of phone GPS. Don't panic, it's nice countryside to be lost in.

And yes, the hotel definitely looks old, as its title and appearance suggests. But...man...this is really old school. This is one of the hotels in Adelaide you can go to for weddings, honeymoon, dinner, conferences, functions, and even special occasions for the family. Despite the old-fashioned appearance, I bet it is probably quite renowned and popular amongst the Adelaide locals, as well as out-of-town travellers visiting for the first time. Ideal for socialising with friends, celebrities, business, or pleasure! *winks*. And their Snooty Fox Restaurant is widely acclaimed locally and internationally for its fine food and service, extraordinary setting and wonderful staff! As the receptionist told me before I left, "this hotel has everything and anything!"

The prices were that of a typical pub ($18.50 for a chicken schnitzel, et cetera) and the food was absolutely fantastic. My partner and I both had chicken parmigianas with chips and well, I got vegetables instead of salad and he got salad. My only thing is that it is kinda short-staffed, but honestly, the food was that good, I didn't even really care. I'd go here again, and I'd bring my family too. Thanks for making my 6 month anniversary dinner with my partner a great experience.

I always mix business and pleasure when I travel. My room here was delightful. Large main room, separate bedroom. Bathroom down the hall. Much larger than a normal hotel room. Kitchenette with fridge and microwave. I would have preferred a work table, but the bar-height workspace was large and worked very well. The overall feel was extremely comfortable and it was easy to just settle in and feel at home. The staff were great, especially at the bar. Bar/dining area opens to the sidewalk seating. In October the weather was pretty perfect. It took me a full day to understand the bartending staff. The Adelaide accent is a bit stronger than Melbourne or Sydney. But they are very patient with Americans who ask for everything to be repeated three times. I stayed four nights and had an excellent experience. Would recommend it and would stay here again.

Luxury, great position, highly competitive in a relatively spare market around the city. South…read moreAustralia has some very good high end hotels in some beautiful places like Kangaroo Island and the Flinders Rangers (Wilpena Pound) but there is not a lot in the capital city that is modern luxury. Before any other Yelpers start waxing on about their opinion compared to mine, yes there are some nice places, but I think in the city the nicest places are the historical ones that have been made over - until you stay over at Mantra you can't compare. Big rooms, very lush, plush and highly relaxing. Of course you pay a high price, but compared to other capital cities the price is relatively good; it is high for Adelaide. But expect great service plus, and great rooms plus, and you may be visiting, but end up staying in your room the whole time you are here, because it is nice.

The Squatters Arms was once a titty bar, but no more. Paul the charming fellow behind the bar may…read morewell show you his boobs, but I'd be a bit slow to ask him; I'd wait until he offered, and since it was such a cold day in Hell you may decide it's something worth peeking at - otherwise - look some place else for that sort of thing because somehow the Squatters has managed to remain poker machine free and old school bar wise - one of the few and totally kick ass because of it. What an eclectic bar it is - they have a Facebook page, the Karaoke is on Wednesday night, Red Uncensored and Terri-Louise Kelly may be reciting poetry on one night a month along with plenty of other local poets and there are bands on a Thursday and Sunday night. You can get nosh a la pub for around ten dollars, nothing too fancy but it will fill your guts and the locals will fill your head full of fun stories and strange sayings. This is an old school pub with a decent drive through and a pretty good car park. There is an outdoor area for the smokers and you would go a long way to find such an easy going and chilled out venue that deals in rock and roll as well as poetry. I quite like it because it hasn't got trendy, and it is not trying to get trendy. Who needs to be trendy when you have all the poets in Adelaide massing in the back room and waxing lyrical every few weeks - that says it all. Ever met a poet in a pub who didn't have a full glass and an eye for another?

Possibly international.... So well done Paul.

When I showed Raw snitzel the response was what do you want then. I asked another staff member who is that guy, she explained the Manager. Well he needs to learn customer service and a apology would have been nice. Not my meal virtually thrown at me when he had to bring another meal.
