I once lived in Adelaide, and recently returned with my family to visit relatives for the weekend. The O'Connell Inn is a fairly standard motel, maybe 1980's in style and not very recently renovated. But (of course) its clean, spacious, well appointed and inexpensive. It has plenty of free parking space - a rarerity in towns (we had a hire... More

Great location, close to lots of eateries and bars, spoilt for choice really. O'Connell Street is a great place just outside of the Adelaide CBD, but highly recommended for great resturants, a movie theatre and good shopping and a very quick taxi ride to anywhere. This hotel has very friendly management who know how to welcome you and quiet rooms... More

Travelling from regional South Australia and was looking for somewhere reasonably priced for an overnight stay. Great location in North Adelaide close to bars, cafes, restaurants and shops. Friendly management, free carparking and free wi-fi made this excellent value for money. Will definitely stay here again.

excellent value, stayed for a week in mid summer, air con worked well. Great location, just past the northern end of the wonderful strip of North Adelaide restaurants (so it's quiet for sleeping but an easy walk to a great selection of eateries). free wifi and off street parking are good too.

Arrived late in the afternoon and tired - were received by very friendly proprietor - the good service lasted throughout the stay - greeted by a tidy, clean and comfortable room - in the morning was treated to a hearty home-cooked breakfast - would stay there again - and car parking was free too

Stayed there for 2 nights at the start of winter and had to repeatedly request heating in the room. Management turns it off at night and it only comes back on when you ask for it! Not good, esp. when its 3*C outside.

We have stayed at this property several times and always find that it answers our needs well. The greatest single positive to be found here is the welcome given by the owners Brenton and Helen. They especially have a knack of making pre-dinner drinks enjoyable by engaging guests in conversation with themselves and also between the guests too. There are... More

Stayed here once before and whilst there were a few issues the rooms were nice and in a great location. Arrived here today...as usual "free" wireless internet not working and the same story as last time ie it must be my computer.
