The Wright Lodge

The accommodation is a little dated but has all we needed. The room looked clean with an attached bathroom. The air-conditioning and uncapped Internet connection were fantastic. Their friendly staff showed us where are the attractions of which many are walking distance away thanks to its close approximity to the city centre and the Chinatown. Overall, a value for money budget hotel.

Good place to stay right in the centre of everything one may need

I stayed in an upstairs room with a balcony for four days and could not have been happier with the experience. The room was spacious and even though the temperatures were really hot did not use the air conditioning much because of the nice breezes. The rooms are quite old but are very clean and comfortable. Was nice to have a decent sized fridge and they supplied plates, bowls and cutlery with a microwave and toaster out in the hall. It meant it was pretty easy to self cater. Even though the price is really low it was good to have an ensuite. The hot water was a bit slow coming through but was good once it flowed. It is well situated out the back of the Market and Chinatown. The staff were unreal being really helpful including letting me have a shower in the afternoon I checked out. Unbeatable value for the price if you can accept it is not new or refurbished.

Good place to stay if you are under budget. Simple room and basic facilities provided; only downside for me was the bathroom essentials (shampoo & soap) as that could have definitely been better. Lodge is close to supermarkets and various restaurants in Chinatown. 20-30 min to walk to the CBD or you can also use tram service, which is very close as well.

Considering they call themselves the best budget hotel I expected more. Especially considering they charged me $90+ for the privilege of staying there. Will stick with my regular hotel that charges me less & has better views with a larger room & better amenities (they were booked out) when next in Adelaide.
