Majestic Old Lion Apartments

This apartment-hotel is in a very nice area of Adelaide. A short distance away from the CBD, yet far enough from it to enjoy a more suburban feel. You will find transport, cafes, restaurants, park and shops only a few minutes walk away. The building itself is quite old and in parts a bit run down. There is a garage downstairs where you can park your car for an extra charge. $30 a day. Staff was nice, especially Jan (accommodation cleaner) who helped us carry suitcases upstairs. There is no lift in these buildings and it is quite hard to carry heavy suitcases up to the top floor. There is also no concierge to help. Thankfully Jan helped us out. Where you rent in the Old Lions apartment will determine whether you get a nice place or not. We were originally put into the building called the Annex, to the very back of the complex. Our downstairs 1 bed was dark and dingy with mismatched, old and grubby furniture. For example there was a large, glass dining table in the bedroom. The kitchen was very old and drab and not stocked well. (Cooking utensils) We only stayed one night in this room as construction at the building next door woke us at 6.30 AM. Hammering, drilling etc... We asked to switch and the staff was very accommodating. Next we stayed in the Barton building to the front. This 3 bed appointment was much nicer, brighter and obviously larger. The furniture made more sense too. Unfortunately every room is carpeted and the carpet could do with a clean, or better even be replaced with wood or tiles for better hygiene. The 3 bedroom apartment was at the top floor which made maneuvering the suitcases up and down quite difficult. Overall a pleasant enough stay in a nice area. Just make sure you get a good apartment.

This accommodation was fabulous. The staff were friendly and the room was large and clean. The bed was comfortable and the grounds were beautiful! There was a TV in the main bedroom, adequate heating and an electric blanket. The kitchen had everything you needed for light meals. There was a full sized fridge and we got a key each. There was a washer dryer in the bathroom and they provided a sachet of washing powder. We were located on the top floor, and most other apartments had steps so I dont know if this is wheelchair friendly. This apartment was comfortable and close to shops with cafes, pharmacy, boutiques and nail salons. The best thing as a tourist was the bus stop directly out the front which had a free bus service that took us right into the city and back. I would highly recommend Majestic Old Lion Apartments!

The room was very nice . Clean & well appointed. The "service" was a little disappointing. I had a couple of issues... a) the TV remote didn't work (seriously, it was for a company different model) b) the main light in one room didn't work. It took a day to fix the TV remote issue.... The light was not fixed over the 6 day stay. I have no idea how the house keeping staff managed to service the room in the dark!!! Parking in the area is all under "management". Be prepared! Pay the crazy guest price of the hotel or follow all the very unfriendly council parking signs and park blocks away.

Overall impression 😐 A mixed stay — excellent staff and cleanliness, but serious issues with Wi-Fi and the annex apartments significantly impacted our experience. What we liked 🤗 Reception staff were quick to respond and very helpful when we raised the Wi-Fi issue in the annex apartment. (No 4G in this apartment either!). We were promptly moved to a two-bedroom apartment closer to the front of the property … thank you! Housekeeping staff were extremely friendly Apartment was very clean Well-equipped kitchen with good utensils and equipment Secure undercover car parking Option to have breakfast delivered to the room is a nice touch What could be better 🤔 Wi-Fi did not work in either apartment Annex apartments are dark, dank and unwelcoming with very limited natural light and poor ventilation in the annex (only two windows) Linen nice however towels are old, scratchy and need replacing Air-conditioner in the two-bedroom apartment is very small and would not adequately cool the whole apartment during Adelaide’s hot summers Good to know 🧐 Internet access is unreliable — even 4G was intermittent in the annex Main building apartments are much brighter, airier and far more pleasant than the annex If you need to work remotely, this property may not be suitable Would we return? 🤔 Possibly — but only if guaranteed an apartment in the main building and with reliable internet access confirmed in advance.

Stayed here for two nights in January 26' Did not have a good experience. Sofa bed was uncomfortable and hotplates didn't work. We had to move rooms because of it which was a hassle. The room we moved to, the Sofa bed was not made up as requested. I approached the front office staff and was told that as he was only one on duty he couldn't make up the Sofa bed. Later that night when there was a new staff member there,My friend told me he made the Sofa bed up. Also, the front door didn't lock,so it was ajar all night. Perhaps,before you offer apartments to customers ,check to see if the room is liveable. Not happy with our stay. The front desk staff are incredibly rude.

NOISY at night!! It’s a shame as they are great apartments otherwise. |There were live band playing outside the back of the apartment until 10pm and then loud bass from dance music in the hotel until midnight (see photo from our kids bedroom).|I realise we sound a bit miserable but when you are trying to get kids to sleep it’s a tad annoying. A great hotel for atmosphere if you are wanting a night out though : )

Pretty tired old hotel in need of a renovation. Rooms are a bit drab, basic, motel style. No lift to underground car park or apartments on the 1st floor. Next to the old lion hotel that plays very (very) loud music till late at night. Can’t fault the staff though - very good.

Staff very polite and helpful. Rooms clean and tidy. Would have been nice if instruction books for appliances were provided, and a booklet on local restaurant and locations of interest.

Checked in late, in Adelaide for the Eagles. Very friendly front desk despite the hour. Noisy hotel next door but our 'Annex' apartment is large and peaceful. Good location, some entertainment / restaurants close by, and a few more 5 minutes away. Good sized rooms, very comfortable kitchen. Lots of stairs to get to room and very crowded car park. Otherwise a winner.
