Pros
- Has many branches all around Adelaide
- Great variety of rooms
- Wheelchair-accessible
- Many high-quality amenities (gym, conference room, cafe, restaurant)
Cons
- Slow to respond to clients’ complaints
- Has complaints of having untidy rooms
What sets Quest Apartments apart from the competition is that they have many branches (Port Adelaide, King William South, Franklin, and Mawson Lakes).
These branches offer great accessibility to stores, public transportation routes, and tourist spots.
They also have a great variety of room offerings, with the biggest having 3 bedrooms.
One of their past clients praised the apartments’ accessibility for people with mobility impairments. He mentioned that the staff assisted him, and the place itself was wheelchair-accessible.
I personally have no complaints about the amenities. They have a cafe, restaurant, gym, and conference room, all of which are of hotel-level quality, making it a great choice for business travelers.
Moreover, the rooms are spacious with high ceilings and offer great city views.
I believe that they can improve, however, when it comes to responding to clients’ complaints on time. I also noticed that a recurring complaint about them is that they’re not thorough with cleaning.

Pros
- Many amenities (room audio systems, high-speed Wi-Fi, conference venue)
- Vibrant decor
- Great for business people
- Great access to the CBD
Cons
- Small lobby, car parks, and room
- Window view is small and obstructed
Miller Apartments is highly recommendable because of the abundance of amenities they provide.
First, their rooms really feel like it’s made for you to stay long. They have a high-tech audio system and a complete set of home appliances.
Additionally, the apartments suit business travelers well because of its well-equipped conference venue offering high-speed Wi-Fi, ample space, and an adequate number of chairs.
When I stayed here, I also appreciated the colorful and geometric motifs all over the apartment. The rooms feel alive because of this vibrant decor.
The location of Miller Apartments is also ideal for accessing Adelaide CBD, with major business and tourist attractions just a few minutes away.
That said, one thing that bugged me during my stay here was the small size of the rooms. The building itself has very limited space.
I wasn’t fond of the view inside the room too, as the windows were small. It’s boxed with a concrete railing that blocks half of the view too.

Pros
- Affordable rates
- Well-designed rooms (minimalist, spacious, and muted colors)
- Professional staff
- Well-maintained facilities
Cons
- Doesn’t have 3-bedroom suites
- Car parking is off-site
Quality Apartment offers some of the most affordable rates I’ve come across, and they provide great service overall.
If you’re a fan of minimalist design, you’ll definitely appreciate their rooms. The colors are muted, and with high ceilings, it has a comfortable atmosphere.
During my stay, I was impressed by how they maximized the space. The subtle curves and slants in the room made it feel larger than its actual size.
The professionalism of the staff contributed to my comfortable stay. They were quick to respond to my calls, and they efficiently addressed minor complaints.
I also want to mention how well-maintained their facilities are, from the showers and kitchen to the cafe and laundry room.
However, one major downside is that they don’t offer 3-bedroom suites. This could be a dealbreaker for those who plan to stay with several guests.
Also, their car parking is paid and off-site, which is inconvenient.

Pros
- Great for corporate clients, as they can provide an account manager
- Complete and well-maintained amenities
- Cozy and homey decor
- Area isn’t crowded
Cons
- Small guest capacity
- Small rooms
Hume Serviced Apartments is tailor-made for corporate clients who’ll avail of their service multiple times. They offer a dedicated account manager for recurrent clients, ensuring a customized and tailored stay to meet your specific needs.
The apartments are simple yet complete with amenities. They are well-maintained, and the staff is prompt in addressing any issues.
One client I talked to said that she enjoyed her room because it was cozy. I believe that the pleasant and utilitarian design of the apartment helped in providing this experience.
The rates here are affordable, whether you’re booking a single room or multiple rooms. Their well-designed website makes it easy to find friendly rates too.
While the location is within the city center, it’s located slightly on the outskirts. I find this to be a great advantage, as it means the entrance to the apartment isn’t crowded, yet you can reach any part of the CBD within minutes.
Now about their downsides, one is that their guest capacity is much smaller compared to other serviced apartments in Adelaide. In addition, their rooms are smaller too.

Pros
- Pet-friendly
- Has 3 branches in Adelaide
- Well-maintained facilities
- Has multiple buildings, making each room more private
Cons
- A bit far from the CBD
- Amenities aren’t the best for business purposes
Dress Circle Apartments stands out by being one of the few pet-friendly serviced apartments in Adelaide. They go the extra mile by providing dedicated spaces within the apartments for pets to exercise.
Furthermore, they have three branches located in Fullarton, Kent Town, and North Adelaide. Each branch comprises multiple buildings, ensuring a private and comfortable experience for guests.
I particularly enjoyed the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the area. I felt safe enough for me to take my dog for a walk without worrying about traffic or crowds.
They don’t disappoint when it comes to maintenance of their facilities, from the room’s kitchen to the bathroom. They’re also quick to respond to calls for room service.
However, one downside is that their locations are a bit far from the CBD. They are better suited for tourists rather than business people.
Moreover, their amenities may not be ideal for business purposes. For instance, their Wi-Fi can be unreliable, and their conference rooms are on the smaller side.
