Came here for a nice meal as we travelled through Adeliade and it was an incredible experience, from the staff to the food could not fault.
The waitress we had was so lovely, super accommodating didn't make a fuss when we were a but picky with our food (making adjustments), when asked about recommendations she was super helpful.
We had a steak and Parmi and it was perfection, highly recommend this place if you're after a well cooked meal with friendly service!

We had a great experience in Adelaide staying at the Arkaba Hotel. Great value for money and everything was superb. Our family room was very comfortable and clean. Kids loved the complimentary goodies. Highly recommend for a comfortable stay!.

Great staff. Stayed there during covid out break for 3 weeks had the whole place to myself virtually. Was walking around in my socks chilling out on the lounges in front of the fire. Now feels like home. Apart from the 100 dollars, they owe me. Anyone who hasn't stayed there, it is one of the best & hotels in Adelaide. CCTV has been upgraded on all floors, so your belongings are safe and secure. No weirdness. Easy check-in. The food is amazing. The front bar is perfect for summer. Has been one of the best for a very long time. Z

Hi we are just in from Christmas Lunch '23. Everything was lovely. Perfect traditional food and quite excellent wine list. Our waiter was the unflappable Brad (Table 19). Our 5th year me thinks. Thank you for taking care of our parents so beautifully (and I can relax too). Santa is always a treat. Sandra H.

I stay here quite often due to the ease of getting around the city, the free parking, and the restaurant on-site. This time, there were renovations happening, so a little different. Normally I enjoy the food but they have changed the menu. It's not to my taste but maybe for others. Given that I did enjoy my meal. Would recommend and I would stay again.

Not that good when you've put countless time and money into something you expect to get a little help from management after bike chain was cut... wouldn't let me put $4000 bike in foyer while I had a drink and poke for 30 minutes to get my breathe back

My dad stayed here for a few days, nice rooms and facilities. Due to dad's disability the room that was offered did not meet all his requirements initially but after notifying them of this they did everything they could to resolve the problem and did so very professionally. I highly recommend the Arkaba and will come back again for sure

My partner booked the loft suite here for my 30th birthday, on the booking the rooms looked very lovely but as we arrived the room looked nothing like the photos that were online they should update that and also add in the actual info for each room, the bathroom had hair all through the bath shower and sink there was also dust all near the bed head and light switches, the TV remotes didnt work properly and had to be hit a few times just to work, reception were great about fixing those issues quickly by sending up house keeping and discounted the room with 10% off and giving us a complementary breakfast for the 2 days we were there. The cleaners that came in on one of the days had also broken my charging cable that was plugged into the wall reception said that they would email about it but didnt replace the item that was broken, I find that the staff are very lovely but the cleaners are very careless and rush on their jobs just to get out quickly. The breakfast was very very good highly reccomend, the room service is OK just by the time it gets there it is a little Luke warm, all in all we did have a great stay beds were super comfy we just had a few set backs that were easily fixed.

This is. my fav place to stay in South Australia very relaxing environment, with stone fire making the lounge area warm and nice, also small casino for fun time and staff very polite and humble, i got good deals twice as compare to other known hotels this one is much more better. Room was very nice and clean everything was so amazingly perfect for stay. Highly recommend . Try once you will not regret it..

Very good location, just a short ride going to City Centre, accessible by Public transport or private Vehicle. Parking is very good too. Pub is just on the ground floor. There's a liquor shop just around the corner. My only concern is the lift. It doesn't have security or access key. So anyone can access any floor. Breakfast was a bit slow. Pancakes that I've ordered was already cold when it hit my table.

From arrival to departure the staff were friendly, warm, and helpful. The hotel is in a great location. We stayed on the second floor. The moment you open the door you are welcomed by a spotlessly clean room with crisp fresh linen. Big thank you to the room staff, you do a fantastic job. Reception staff were wonderful, well informed, and helpful. They are renovating now, and I will be excited to see the changes on our next visit.
We did intend to watch the band playing that night, unfortunately there were latex balloons blown up in that location. I have a latex allergy and we couldn't be in that area. It is rare for businesses to use latex balloons as they are a single use product, they are not recyclable and break down into micro beads. This said, I am sure if I had asked the staff when booking to refrain from using them or to choose foil balloons in leu of latex, they would have been kind enough to accommodate this request, as they were very thorough in ensuring our room had been latex free.

Went to watch sport in the evening, there was a good band on also, and it was a bit difficult to weave through the obstacles. Most of the staff were pleasant enough, but the dark haired lady behind the bar was most unpleasant and rude, which was weird as we had just walked in, never visited before, hadn't said a word and were just waiting.

My honest thoughts. Especially #3.
1. I was skeptical about the breakfast, but turned out to be one of the better ones than the cafes in the city. Next time I will eat within the the premises.
2. I thought this was a pure hotel so was a little surprised to see jackpot machines and bar. But then perhaps this is typical in SA. Not noisy or rowdy.
3. Unplanned power outage. This is why I would return again. There were destructive winds during the night and we woke up to no power. The morning reports said power would restore by 10am, then 1pm, and then 8pm. I approached the front desk to ask the staff what the plan was especially with aged parents. They provided torches but there would be no hot water for showers. Citing safety of elderly when walking around without lighting they agreed to have us moved to a partner hotel. Manager got on the phone and within 5 mins got us a room elsewhere. No charges involved. THIS is how to manage an unexpected operational problem, and glad to say that they didn't perfectly. Since power restored at 5pm we didn't eventually move. But they score a 5 in my books for this wonderful experience. Thank you Mr Manager and staff. :)

The staff are absolutely lovely, extremely accomodating to my young children, the rooms are spacious and clean and the linen is lovely. Beautiful Art Deco style decor and finishes throughout the hotel. We will definitely be staying again in the future

I have stayed in one of the top rooms and was extremely happy with the size and comfort of the room. The food is of a very good standard. However, I'm not a fan of having to go to the counter to order my food when I'm paying this much. It's the same for drinks, and if you order a cocktail, expect to wait a long time.

We booked our reception at the Arkaba Hotel in the board room and it was absolutely perfect. The staff at the bar were lovely and every guest was able to get everything they wanted. Highly recommend. Thanks for the wonderful function!!!

Just want to give a huge shout out to Georgia from the Arkaba Hotel Gaming Room. I am a regular customer at the Gaming and Arkaba.She is the epitome of customer service. She was helpful, courteous,polite, humble, respectful and funny. If every one at the Arkaba was even half as competent as she is,the world would be a much better place.

Hope your evey day is wonderful and lovely.

Love your work keep it up.

Great work Georgia.

Rooms were very Spacious.
Spa bath is Amazing.
Staff is very helpful and friendly.
10pm Front counter is open later than most other motels.
Price was a bit up there but is worth it just don't like having to pay the Expensive Bond of $150... Would be able to Enjoy more stays if that was Cheaper, making it a bit more Affordable. But all-out we were very happy with our Stay ?

The Arkaba has changed so many times over the years, but I have to admit that it has most definitely improved immensely, and is like going to a totally new venue. The staff are amazing. They are very friendly, polite, helpful & very professional. The decor, live music, meals, rooms and the entire atmosphere of the place has improved. Would definitely recommend to all age groups (over 18) now.

I had the standard room which was affordable and really nice.
Great staff and the facilities down stairs was great. Good food, nice sports bar and has pokies and another restaurant all under one roof. Plenty of safe parking also.
Highly recommend...5 stars from me

Restaurant review only:

Atmosphere and food are great. However, service is not very good.
When I ordered a chicken schnitzel they didn't ask if I wanted half or full size. I wanted half but I didn't say anything (oops I forgot), then the dish came out defaulted into full size. In the end I was handed in a surprise bill.

I enjoyed the meals that I was served. One of the apprentices who preps the meals did an extraordinary job in marinated the pig intestines. His name is Isaac Shatwell. I very much enjoyed my stay. Thanks cuties x

Went to watch the England final. It may have been 4am but it was perfect, staff were helpful and the ambience was great. England may have lost but I had a great morning at Arkaba.

Only downer was the bar food menu having one item on it, and it wasn't vegetarian...

Staff were friendly upon arrival, got told our room was upgraded (from standard twin) - from what I could see the difference being queen beds instead of doubles.. Only here for the one night. Could easily park in/around the hotel/supermarket. Room was spacious enough, though the shower head was below average and the bedside remote for all lights, TV and air-conditioning was a little odd. Loud music played until at least 1.15am so was not happy about that at all, if I knew it was that noisy we probably wouldn't have booked here.

Stayed here for one night. Must say the room was amazing - can't complain one bit! But the breakfast menu wasn't that great. I got pancakes and they weren't cooked well, tasted very doughy. My partner said his eggs Benedict weren't too bad!

Went to the Arkaba last night for their Aussie Legends night and had a fantastic evening which ended on a very disappointing note. The DJ stated that he would be playing the last couple of songs so grab your final drink from the bar which we did. I had one sip of my drink and my husband had finished half of his when we left them with our jackets on the table to have a last dance. When we returned to our table the drinks had been removed. We approach the bar staff and were told "too bad". We asked to speak to the supervisor. Ellie the supervisor then proceeded to tell us that it was company policy to remove all unattended drinks from the tables. Does this mean we should have taken our drinks onto the dance floor or to the toilet? All evening we had been leaving our drinks on our table to dance and none had been removed it was purely because it was close to closing and the staff obviously wanted to clean up and go home. We asked that our drinks be replaced and she flatly refused to do this and told us we could buy another drink downstairs. She also accused us of lying to get a free drink. There was an area behind the bar where the staff had been placing the glasses they collected and we pointed out our drinks. She then simply stood there and refused to talk to us any further. We come here regularly and have never had this problem before. Very poor attitude towards your customers!

Beer was so cold , I did not want to leave. Bit of a view seeing people and traffic, the meals looked great and lots of customers looked happy. All age groups were represented from tattoos to business suits as each group accepted each other. And all had a great time. I have only been there during the day I might add!

Let us down with bug events. Changed their mind about agreements before and after, wrecked the overall enjoyment and opportunity to celebrate. Manager from England no idea, rude and aggressive before we started, closed up on us earlier than agreed. Don't respect our regular input and use of venue. Poor effort and collaboration guys.
