Reviews for Hotel Alba
Claire Sutherland
I really rate this hotel. Someone has done a super stylish job making over an older building. The garden beds have been given a Palm Springs makeover and the pool area is gorgeous. The rooms are a really generous size and the bathrooms are lovely. The staff were fantastic and the breakfast (à la carte, not a buffet) top notch with great coffee. The lift is a bit old and creaky and it’s a good 15 minute walk from the centre of town but for the price it’s excellent value.

We had such a great time here. The rooms were comfortable and quie as anticipated but the real surprise was the food available, the private dining room, the bar and of course the pool area. It’s a hotel that you can really relax in and enjoy all they have to offer.

I recently stayed at the Alba for a few nights. I stayed in the Urban King Studio. The main room was a great size with a king bed, ensuite and tv, small table with 2 chairs and a great balcony. The "lounge room" was a fantastic size also, in hindsight I probably didn't need a room this large but it was nice as I had my young child with me so they were able to utilise that room while I was in the main. Upon entry to the hotel I instantly noticed the lack of air flow. The entrance to the hotel is lovely and open with the restaurant and bar right there and beyond that is the pool - stunning! When I entered my room, I noticed how warm it was in there again with a lack of any sort of air flow so I needed to utilise the air-conditioner straight away. The other thing I noticed was the stale, musky smell. It was quite off putting. Again the aircon helped to circulate the air, the smell faded but wasn't gone. I noticed that the room got quite hot, even in the middle of winter that we are experiencing in Adelaide at the moment, each night I only needed to sleep in light clothing and most nights i woke up kicking the blankets off me. I did not have the buffet breakfast so I cannot comment on this. I did eat in the restaurant and had drinks at the bar. In my opinion the food was average and way overpriced however that tends to be the norm at hotel restaurants. It was nice enough if you need a bite to eat and don't want to travel out of the hotel. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and this is a hotel I would book again.

Actually disappointed. Rooms stink of old cigarettes, didn't even get room made up and when they did all they did was replace the towels, didn't make bed. First night we dined at the restuarant told the waitress no mushrooms, meal arrives with mushrooms. No water, never been to a hotel that didn't supply atleast 2 bottles of water. Next door at the hotelmotel is better value, the Alma really disappointing, unfortunately I can't recommend the Alma, theres way better in the city for the same coin, or go next door to the cheaper side. Breakfast buffet is good, only thing I looked forward too.

Unfortunately, the hotel didn't even have water, only shampoo and hand wash. They all had to pay for it. There weren't even slippers in the bathroom. Breakfast was $30 per person. Parking was $15. These were charged separately.
