A fresh take on the classic motel
Location
Find us on 216–225 South Terrace which puts us a stone’s throw from city parklands and playgrounds, with Rundle Mall and Adelaide’s festival hubs about 10 minutes away and a tram ride out to the iconic Glenelg Beach.
Rooms
61 rooms, four ways to book one: King for a straightforward stay, Triple or Family if there’s a crowd, or Double Double when two beds beat one plus reception never actually closes, so a late arrival is never a problem.
Dining
HotelMOTEL doesn’t run its own kitchen, borrowing instead from two neighbours: ela Restaurant & Bar at Hotel Alba next door, and Terrace Bar & Kitchen just across South Terrace, both serving buffet breakfast
Parking & Directions
Parking is complimentary and right on-site, one of the few properties in the precinct that doesn’t charge for it. Driving in, Adelaide Airport is a straightforward 15-minute ride.
Check-in & Check-out
Check-in is from 3PM and check-out by 11AM, though reception itself runs 24 hours, true to the never-closes spirit of the place. Guests are also welcome to make a splash in Hotel Alba’s outdoor pool next door
Venues & Events
We keep things simple here, no ballrooms or boardrooms on-site. For anything more than a catch-up over coffee, Hotel Alba and The Terrace Hotel next door both have event spaces on hand.
