Amazing Indoor Pool

“I was absolutely blown away by the indoor pool area! It features a 1.25m deep lap pool with a fine glass bottom that lets you see the street below. The spa area adjacent to the pool has infinity-style sides with glass, creating a unique vibe, especially with the full-length windows. It was a fantastic way to relax and have fun with my family.” view full review

There were thoughtful touches throughout, making our stay so much more enjoyable. Despite some minor decor issues, I appreciated how everything worked seamlessly within the space.” view full review

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. However, the cleanliness of the apartment was disappointing, with stained carpets and bedding. The pool and spa facilities were quite nice, but daily room service could definitely use improvement.

I stayed in a two-bedroom apartment and appreciated the spaciousness and good amenities, but the carpets were filthy and the bedding had stains. There's room for improvement in cleanliness.

Service

The staff were very friendly and responsive, assisting quickly when we needed help, like unlocking our bedroom door. However, I did find it frustrating that daily room service wasn’t included and only available at an extra cost.

Location

The location is excellent, just minutes from Adelaide Central Market and various local restaurants and cafes. It's easy to explore the area on foot, which I really enjoyed.

Dining

6.0

While there are dining options nearby, the on-site dining was limited, pushing me to seek out various local spots, which was fine but felt a bit inconvenient sometimes.

Facilities

7.0

The facilities, like the pool and spa, were really enjoyable, but some apartment units were showing their age and could use a good deep clean, especially to address persistent cigarette odors.

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 however, the maintenance of the apartment left something to be desired, including issues with cleanliness and some outdated features.

Rooms

The one-bedroom apartment was spacious with a comfortable bed, but I noticed some maintenance issues, like holes in the carpet and scuff marks on the walls. There was also a cleanliness problem, as I found used items left behind from previous guests.

Service

While the staff were friendly and helpful, I did experience some issues with check-in and lift maintenance. When I needed assistance with the car park, it took longer than expected to get help.

Location

Facilities like laundry and dry cleaning were available, but some additional amenities would have made the stay more enjoyable, such as better maintenance of common areas like the lifts.

6.0/10

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

6.0

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

5.0

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

6.0

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

5.0

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

The pool and spa facilities were a bit small and had limited hours. While they were nice after a long day, they didn’t quite match what was shown in the photos.

My stay at iStay Precinct in Adelaide was a mixed bag. The location was fantastic, putting me right in the heart of the city. However, I faced several issues including poor customer service and a general lack of cleanliness, which really dampened my experience.

Rooms

I had a spacious apartment with a nice little balcony, but the carpets were stained and the cleanliness could have been better. I also found dirty items in the wardrobe.

The reception staff's service varied, with moments of helpfulness overshadowed by some negative interactions. I encountered early morning calls demanding payment in an unwelcoming tone, which felt unnecessary.

Location

The location was absolutely ideal. I was close to everything I needed, including shopping and dining options, making it convenient for both business and leisure.

Dining

6.0

Dining options were quite limited, especially for breakfast, which left me looking for alternatives nearby. I heard there were better cafes around, but it could have been made more convenient.

The amenities like the kitchen and laundry were helpful, but I dealt with some issues like housekeeping being a bit slack with attention to detail.
