The Watson Adelaide - Art Series

A great place to stay when staying in Adelaide. It is 20 minutes from the CBD by driving and 58 minutes walk. If you're like myself that enjoys the walk to explore the place on the ground it's beautiful. The surrounding environment is also amazing and has shops nearby to buy groceries if you're not looking at eating out. Our room had an oven, microwave, stove, fridge everything you needed. Staff were friendly and when we asked for anything they were helpful.

Great room on the 8th floor. The room consisted of a kitchenette, very comfy couch, 2 seater table and very comfy bed. Great large shower but with a very small shower head. The towels were large which is always a plus. The tiles in the shower and around the bathroom could do with a good scrub but overall the bathroom was clean. The kitchenette has a coffee maker, stove top and small fridge which had plenty of room in it. Chrome casting was available which again another big plus. There was only one window in the room which could’ve done with a privacy blind so you could leave the blockout blind fully up during the day. Our room overlooked many balconies on the side arm of the building. Outdoor and undercover parking available. We used undercover parking. There seems to be confusion between what is advertised on the website and in email you receive to what is charged parking. We were not charged for parking as our email had advised it was free. Charges advised were $10 and $15 depending on where you parked but do check if The Watson have not clarified this more clearly. Great location, supermarket and many cafe/restaurants close by. We would definitely stay again.

Booking and checking in was easy and straightforward. All of our minor additional requests were organised before we arrived and with no fuss. During our stay a couple of simple maintenance issues were attended to promptly. The room had a great outlook across the Adelaide CBD and with 3 of us in the suite there was plenty of space. Undercover parking was a true bonus given the weather and proximity to shops and cafes even more so. Overall an excellent stay and we would definitely stay again. Thanks to Leigh and Alistair for their genuine hospitality.

Booked for a week had to leave after one night. Unclean, feels unhygienic. Dark dingy hallways stink of oil and old food. Blankets missing tv broken and after calling for help staff they couldn’t do anything to fix it. Fridge detached from fridge joinery. Bathroom/ laundry stank of sewer smell and humidity. Requested sheets to cover couches so I could feel safe sitting my young children on them. They looked and felt unclean. Would not return nor recommend.
