I had a mixed experience at Istay Precinct Adelaide. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to many attractions, and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

I enjoyed my stay at Istay Precinct Adelaide. the views from my upgraded room were simply stunning, offering a unique perspective of the sunset over the ocean. The staff were particularly helpful and accommodating. however, the maintenance of the apartment left something to be desired, including issues with cleanliness and some outdated features.

I stayed for a decent amount of time and got what I needed, but there were definitely some downsides. The apartment had some noise issues, and communication with the staff could use improvement. While the location was pretty convenient, the overall cleanliness left a bit to be desired. I guess if you're on a budget, it'll do the trick, but I'd consider other options next time.
Rooms

The room was mostly adequate with basic furnishings, though I did find it noisy with constant sounds from wind and other guests. The shower had some grouting issues, but the water pressure was strong.
Service

The staff were reasonably friendly, but I found the communication lacking, especially regarding what was included in the apartment and basic supplies. On top of that, I had to ask for essentials which was pretty inconvenient.
Location

The location was relatively good, close to main streets and supermarkets, but the area felt a bit rundown at times. It was quiet at night, which was nice, but I wouldn't want to walk alone in the dark.
Dining

There weren't any dining options on-site, and I found myself going to a cafe in the next building, which was a pleasant surprise. The breakfast options were limited, and I wished there were more choices available.
Facilities
