Majestic Minima Hotel

The 150m walk for check in is not an issue. The rooms are small though. The bed was comfortable (though 2 singles butted together !) and the room clean. Single person shower only. Note to management. Spend some money and replace all those shitty Hicense TV's that are 20 years old. Half the time I had to turn the tv off and on again after it locked up multiple times. You could probably fit each room with a decent smart tv for $500 (which guests could then log into Netflix etc and have a decent electronic tv guide). Also consider fitting the TV's a tad lower so your guests don't feel like they are looking at the ceiling when watching the tv :)

I was very disappointed with the cleanliness of my hotel room. The bedsheet was visibly dirty, with noticeable stains (see photo), which is completely unacceptable for any accommodation. It raised concerns about the hygiene standards of the property. I expected a clean and comfortable environment, but this experience fell short. I hope the management takes immediate action to improve their housekeeping practices.

Would recommend. Great price for location and hotel is clean, and has everything you need. Staff were helpful. I liked the wall murals in the rooms too. North Adelaide location is on the free city bus line or you can walk into town - 20mins to half hour. Lots of great restaurants and cafes nearby.

Accommodation was quite good value for money, clean, convenient location, comfortable for short stay. Disappointing that the hotel chain had not updated the TVs to allow the broadcast from the new Channel 7 set-up.

This hotel was booked by a group we were travelling with, so we had no choice. The room was small for 2 unrelated people who needed 2 beds: unable to turn over in bed without the top mattress falling away from the base, or the wheels not locking, and the beds colliding. There was only one sitting option for 2 people. The art was good. On day 2, the toilet failed to flush: as it was a Saturday, there was no staff to help: the person at the end of the phone was good at transferring a call and not much else. So we were offered a mother room, which did not have any seats, as it turned out. The electric points are flush with the floor, making use by eg CPAP machines impossible. It is hard to explain how really frustrating this stay was.

The rooms are small but if you are not wanting to live in them, ie, cook, relax all day, etc, the location and cost are perfect for visiting local events. There are a number of restaurants within easy walking distance of the hotel and the free city connector bus routes, 98A and 98C, have stops about 120 metres from the hotel.

The only positive was the awesome receptionists at Majestic M Suites who checked us in. When we booked on Agoda it never said we had to check in 1.5km from the hotel after hours. For a corporate owned hotel it’s pretty crazy that there’s no self check in option. The keycards didn’t even work and the poor receptionist had to come help us from the other hotel… the phones on site never worked and we had to ask another guest to help us call for help. Unacceptable service if you’ve to check in after hours.

My main point for this review is the $500 deposit, they keep for up to 7 business days. It’s been 5 and still haven’t gotten back, but I just found this amount beyond excessive. Not to mention how long it takes to get back. I would really suggest a revamp to that. Some people literally don’t have $500 for a deposit they won’t get back for over a week. Not to mention you can hear everything in this place from above and the rooms beside you. But otherwise great location, and service was good for the price.

Don't stay here ! Very inconvenient. You have to walk across the street to check in with all of your luggages then walk back to the hotel Red flagged there is NO wifi Staff is not friendly

Nice simple hotel in a really nice area in Adelaide. This hotel is quite simple, modern, tidy. Can't complain about it much. Rooms and bathroom are small but not cramped. They offer parking and it's pretty cheap.

I haven't really had a bad experience in this small hotel of the Majestic name, but my sister had a horrid experience with her friends here. There are some cool features of this hotel, like the frontage, location, self check in and the rooms are nice. But my sister stayed here with a couple of friends for her 18th birthday and ended up sleeping back at home. Now my sister is not the rowdy kind; she booked for a few friends to stay overnight and they were planning in going out for tea on Melb St and spending the night in the room later on. When she checked in, they asked for a bond, which she was never told about and was ridiculously expensive. Then the girls were getting ready at 6pm putting in makeup and doing their hair with music on and were told they were laughing too much and being noisy. So they turned the music down and tried to be a little quieter, but people 'apparently' kept complaining to staff and staff continued to tell them off. They thought this was ridiculous, it was 6pm! Things continued, they kept being warned about things, and in the end they were pretty much advised to leave, so all went and stayed at one of the girl's houses. My Mum found out, complained and tried to get money back, but nothing happened in the end. Doesn't make me want to stay there, personally.

The Minima Hotel in Melbourne Street is part of a new age of hotel rooms, they are small and compact and cater for business travellers who are visiting cities for short periods of time. The Minima in North Adelaide has 46 studio rooms, all with King Size beds and LCD TV's. There is a 24 hour self check in service via a kiosk setup and I guess the absence of staff and the smaller sized rooms is what makes these sort of hotels more affordable. Situated on Melbourne Street, this Minima is perfect for business travellers as it is surrounded by a variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner options. Room service isn't an issue as all you need to do is pop downstairs to the Lion, the Store, Cibo or any of the other restaurants and cafes in Melbourne Street. Stylish rooms and great location.

Clean and tidy little hotel in North Adelaide. I recommend for a business trip more than a holiday as the rooms are pokey. As a place to sleep and make the odd phone call no issues. Good cafe across the street where breakfast is served from 6am and fair rates for a night. No desk staff or concierge exists here, but there is a 24hrs intercom with the local sister hotel. Checking in is like using an ATM, which is cool.

What a great little hotel. Convenient location in the centre of Melbourne Street - North Adelaide. While the rooms are compact (and I mean very compact!), they have everything you need for short stay or business trip and are straight, clean and well appointed. I've posted a few photos of the standard room as well as a reference for those interested. I would certainly stay here again.

We only stayed one night, and in a Basic Art Room at that, but were impressed by the hotel wide range of art, even if the description of the piece in our room didn't seem to match the reality. The Basic room was pretty small, especially the bathroom, and it made me a little nervous that the attached smoker's balcony was adjacent to the (admittedly locked) alley way. Initially, our TV didn't work, and if it weren't for my partner's knowledge of electronics, we would have gone without. The on site parking is convenient (for an additional $10), as is the overall location, since we were able to go for a really lovely walk in the evening at the nearby park. There are desk staff now, although I'm not sure what hours they are on. If we go back we will probably pay the extra $30-40 for an upgraded room.

this hotel is all atm-style, machines took over humans' job, from check-in to check-out. when we had questions we call them up and ask. the service is good. price is not too expensive. one terrible thing is that shower is so light, i mean the water came out really not powerful at all and very little of quantity, really disliked this
