Let's start with the basics, shall we?
Accessibility: (A Huge Win!)
Alright, listen up, because this is important. Finding a truly accessible hotel can be a total gamble. But Adina smashed it. They've got proper ramps, elevators (thank GOD), and rooms specifically designed for ease of movement. I saw wide doorways, grab bars in the bathrooms… the works. They even have a list of other accessibility options. It's genuinely impressive. This place is a safe harbor for anyone with mobility issues, and that's something I can wholeheartedly applaud.
On-site Accessible Restaurants/Lounges: (Bonus Points!)
I didn’t eat at the in-house restaurant (more on that later), but I did poke my head in, and the layout looked good for wheelchair users. The bar area seemed spacious and accessible too. Honestly, it's great they've put in the effort to be inclusive throughout the whole property.
Wheelchair Accessible: (Yep, covered!)
As mentioned above, this isn't just a tick-box exercise. This is a hotel that gets accessibility. Bravo, Adina!
(Internet: The Lifeblood!)
Okay, so, let's talk Wi-Fi. Because, let's be honest, in this day and age, it's a basic human right. And Adina delivers!
- Free Wi-Fi in All Rooms!: Hallelujah! No surprise charges, no fiddling with logins. Just blissful streaming.

Things to Do, Ways to Relax: (Prepare to be Pampered!)
Okay, now we're talking my language. I'm here to relax! The Adina gets this!

It's one of those breakfasts that makes you feel like royalty. But here's the thing: I was staying in the hotel on very limited funds, and I could not believe how expensive the main restaurant and bar were. That's just a personal gripe. So, next time, I'll be planning a bit better!

Okay, buckle up, buttercup. This isn't your glossy travel brochure itinerary. This is my trip to the Adina Apartment Hotel Adelaide Treasury, and trust me, it's going to be a beautiful, messy, hilarious disaster in the making.
(Day 1: Arrival…and the Great Coffee Quest)
- 10:00 AM: Touchdown at Adelaide Airport! (Hopefully, my luggage makes sure to arrive as well.) The plan? Grab a cab, which, honestly, is always a gamble. Will I get a chatty driver, a silent one, or, God forbid, a driver who loves to play their own music REALLY loud? Prepare for anything.
- 10:45 AM: Check-in at the Adina. Fingers crossed the room is actually ready (because, let's be honest, it rarely is). The website photos are always so pristine; I always wonder if they're using some kind of magical dust.
- 11:30 AM: Okay, the room is gorgeous. Seriously, the high ceilings in this old Treasury building? Swoon! But the mission, the urgent mission, must begin: COFFEE. I need a caffeine hit, stat. I've heard whispers of a decent cafe nearby. Let the great coffee quest commence!
- 12:00 PM: Failed coffee quest. The cafe I found was closed for maintenance (typical). Wander aimlessly for 15 minutes, muttering under my breath about the cruelty of the universe.
- 12:30 PM: Found a VERY average (and slightly overpriced) cafe. Coffee obtained! But the coffee wasn't great. Wasted, but I was fine… I think.
- 1:00 PM: The "do not disturb" sign is on, need a rest after walking through the city.
- 2:00 PM: Found a nice little cafe. Feeling much better.
- 4:00 PM: Take a walk around the city.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner plans! There's supposedly this amazing Italian place nearby called "Osteria Oggi." Reviews rave about the pasta. Hoping, praying, it lives up to the hype because I deserve some good carbs after that coffee debacle.
- 8:00 PM: Okay, Osteria Oggi was a revelation. The pasta? Divine. Absolutely divine. I swear I almost cried when I ate the gnocchi. I may have also snuck a peak at the dessert and tried to order a second serving of the pasta. No regrets. I could have eaten my bodyweight in that stuff. I'm blaming jet lag for the extra carbs.
- 10:00 PM: Collapse into a blissful food coma. Adelaide, you're good to me. Goodnight world.
(Day 2: Wine, Whispers, and a Wobbly Stroll)
- 8:00 AM: Wake up a little disoriented, wondering what year it is and what I'm supposed to do. Head down for breakfast at the hotel.
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast is, let's say, "adequate." Nothing to write home about, but it'll do the trick. More coffee.
- 10:00 AM: Today is wine tour day! Pre-booked a tour to the Barossa Valley (hopefully they don't judge my excessive pasta consumption). I'm a lightweight, but I love the idea of wine tasting.
- 11:00 AM: The tour bus arrives and starts.
- 12:00 AM: First winery. Oh god, it's beautiful. I feel like I've strolled into a postcard. The wine is actually really good, and the tour guide is a charmer. I'm already feeling delightfully tipsy.
- 1:00 PM: Second winery. This one is more rustic, more charming. I may have started to get a little too friendly with the cheese platter. The wine keeps flowing, and my opinions on everything are getting increasingly bold. I told everyone about my failed coffee quest.
- 3:00 PM: Third winery. Uh oh. My motor skills might be a bit…delayed. I think I accidentally complimented the (very handsome) winemaker on his… eyebrows. He laughed, which I hope wasn't pity.
- 4:00 PM: The bus ride back to Adelaide is a blur of giggles and slightly slurred conversations with the other tourists. I think I made a new friend.
- 6:00 PM: Back at the hotel. I'm feeling a little more than a bit rough. Maybe a nap?
- 7:00 PM: Nope. No nap. Food. Gotta eat something. Find a pub - maybe something simple like a burger, it is all i can handle.
- 8:00 PM: The burger was, surprisingly, perfect. Comfort food is a life-saver. Feeling a little better, a little less wobbly.
- 9:00 PM: Back in the room, and the need of sleep hits me hard. Sleep time!
(Day 3: Adelaide Market Mayhem and Departure Dreams)
- 9:00 AM: Wake up, the feeling of yesterday disappears.
- 10:00 AM: Adelaide Central Market adventure! This place is a sensory overload in the best way possible. So much fresh produce, amazing smells, and more cheese than I've ever seen in my life. It's glorious chaos.
- 11:00 AM: I'm overwhelmed. I need to buy everything. I resist the urge to start a small cheese business from my hotel room.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch at the market. Seriously good. I'm already plotting a return trip.
- 1:00 PM: Last minute gift shopping.
- 3:00 PM: Pack. I swear, I have way more stuff than I came here with.
- 4:00 PM: Head to the airport.
- 5:00 PM: Check in.
- 6:00 PM: Ready to head home after such a great visit.
This is the Adina Apartment Hotel Adelaide Treasury experience. It might not be perfect, but it's mine. And honestly, that's the best kind of trip, isn't it?
Unbelievable Rosebud Getaway: ABC Accommodation Awaits!
Okay, Adina Apartment Hotel Treasury... What's the Big Deal? Seriously.
Right, so, Adina Treasury. "Unbelievable Luxury"? Their words, not mine. But… okay, maybe there's a *little* truth to it. Look, I've stayed in some dumps, alright? Places where the "luxury" was a slightly less stained towel. This place? Different. Like, actually different. It's in the freaking old Treasury building – talk about history!
The location is aces - right in the middle of everything. But it’s the rooms...oh, the rooms. I'm talking high ceilings, massive windows. Feeling like you're living in a movie set, basically. Actually, that reminds me… one time I was waiting for a friend to show up. And I walked into my room and honestly, for a hot second, I felt like I was in a James Bond movie. You know, that feeling like you should have a martini in hand instead of your carry-on.
Is it *actually* hidden? Because "hidden gem" is usually code for "a bit out of the way and inconvenient to reach."
Nope, that’s the funny thing. Not hidden AT ALL in the traditional sense. It’s smack-dab in the city centre! But... it *feels* hidden. Like, inside the opulent walls, you're insulated from the hustle and bustle. The entrance is tucked away, a little discreet, which adds to the charm. Think of it as “hidden” in the sense that it's not a huge, glaring, generic hotel. It's its own world, you know?
Confession though: the first time I went, I walked past the entrance *three times*. I was convinced I was in the wrong spot. Then, I saw the discreet little sign and thought, "Oh, *that's* it." Don't be like me. Watch out for the entrance!
The Rooms! I'm a sucker for a good room. What's the deal?
Oh, the rooms. Let's dive in! This is what really sells it. They're like, proper apartments. Not just a cramped hotel room. You've got space to breathe. Actual furniture. Kitchenettes, sometimes full kitchens. I'm not joking, I’ve actually cooked a proper breakfast (bacon and eggs, naturally) in the room’s kitchenette. It felt... wrong, yet amazing.
And the bathrooms! Seriously, the bathrooms are bigger than some entire hotel rooms I’ve suffered through. They have huge soaking tubs. And the water pressure is fantastic – a small thing, but SO important. Every time I stay, I feel like I'm being transported to a spa. Seriously, the whole place just oozes old-school charm and modern comforts. That high ceiling thing? Makes you feel like you can actually *think* in there.
Okay, okay, I'll admit it. I once spent a whole afternoon just lounging in my bathrobe, reading a book and ordering room service. No regrets. Zero. It's a serious temptation. But here’s a little secret: Try to get a room on a higher floor. The views are STUNNING. Especially at sunset. Okay, I'll stop gushing now… maybe.
Okay, sounds expensive. What's the damage?
Alright, let's be real. It's not going to be the cheapest option in Adelaide. It’s a splurge. But, and hear me out, you get *so much* more for your money compared to a standard hotel. Think about it. You're essentially getting an apartment.
I've found that sometimes certain times of the year are more expensive, naturally. But it’s worth checking out their website directly for deals. I've managed to snag some really good rates during off-peak seasons. Plus, the overall experience – the history, the location, the sheer luxury of it all – justifies the cost, at least in my over-the-top opinion. I mean, I'd rather spend a bit more and have a genuinely great experience than pinch pennies to stay somewhere awful.
Food and Drink? What's around the hotel, or what about the hotel itself?
Food and drink. Yes, this is important. The hotel itself has a decent restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Honestly, I wouldn't rave about it being the best food in the world. But it's super convenient and the quality is good. Great service. And hey, sometimes you just want to roll out of bed and have breakfast, you know?
But here's the beauty of the location. You're literally surrounded by Adelaide's best restaurants, cafes, and bars. You can walk everywhere. Seriously. I'm talking world-class restaurants, quirky wine bars, hole-in-the-wall cafes serving perfect coffee… it's all within a five-minute stroll.
What about the Stuff-Ups? You can’t be perfect.
Alright, let's be real. No place is perfect. One time, the air conditioning in my room went a bit haywire. It wasn't ideal. It was in the middle of the summer and I sweated my way out of bed. But I called reception and – poof! – they had someone up to fix it within the hour. So, minor hiccups, but nothing that ruined the whole experience.
Okay, here’s another, slightly embarrassing one. I spent a good 10 minutes trying to figure out how the TV remote worked. Seriously. I felt like a technological imbecile. But hey, it was eventually sorted. I’m not sure if that’s a “stuff-up” of the hotel’s doing though!
Is it kid-friendly? I have kids!
Hmm. This is a tricky one. On the surface, yes. The apartment setup is great for families. You have space, kitchen facilities etc. But, and this is a big but… The vibe is pretty grown-up. It's classy. It's luxurious. It's not exactly a place where you want your kids running wild.
I saw a family there once and the kids seemed to be having a blast. So, it’s probably fine. But if you have super hyperactive kids? Maybe not the best fit. I’d say check out reviews from other families first. This isn’t a criticism, by the way, it's just an observation.
Okay, you’ve almost convinced me. What’s the *one* word to describe Adina Treasury?
Okay, one word... *Indulgent*. Yeah, that's it. It's a treat. A proper treat. Go. Just go. Seriously. You deserve it. I'm already planning myExplore Hotels
