Quest King William South - Adelaide, South Australia

Rachel G.

The place was clean, modern and spacious. The bed was comfortable. The room I was in had an actual kitchenette with sink, microwave, electric stove and basic pans/utensils (I didn’t use it so can’t comment on its usability). The location was convenient with the tram stop right outside. The hotel doesn’t have its own restaurant so they provide you with special vouchers to partnering cafes and restaurants nearby where it’s charged back to the hotel if you want to ‘add it to the room’. The breakfast package ones are specific dishes/drinks at 2 local cafes.

Travelling to Adelaide for the first time recreationally and we could not fault the Quest King William South hotel for our 4 night stay.

The staff were friendly, efficient and extremely helpful. I cannot praise them high enough. That goes to all the staff whether on front desk or room servicing. A big THANKYOU to you all from us.

The one bedroom apartment was generous in space and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The rooms were clean, well maintained and in more than reasonably pristine condition.

Located just metres from the free city-travel tram and the free city bus connector, this was a real winner for us. Travelling to the zoo, Rundle Mall and around the city was a pleasure and easy. Not many places in Adelaide City can offer this luxury of location.

We will be returning to Adelaide in 3 months and won’t have to consider where to stay as the decision is easy; the Quest King William South is it.

The quest apartments at KWS continue to be great for for your regular Adelaide visitor. Nothing is too much for the team and they are always warm, welcoming and organised.

Have stayed at Quest King William South on many occasions (work related). The location is conveniently located opposite the free tram that takes you a short ride into the city. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Recommended to others.

If you’ve ever thought, “Wow, I’d love to sleep on something slightly more forgiving than a footpath while being serenaded by the gentle ding-ding of trams until the wee hours,” then congratulations - you’ve found your nirvana and this will be the experience of a lifetime for you! This hotel is right along the tram line which was convenient, however in a bold rejection of modern soundproofing, features windows that might as well have been made of gladwrap. Double glazing? Apparently they’ve never heard of it. So even if you could fall asleep on the mattress (which you can’t), the trams will make sure you don’t.

Speaking of the mattress, it was a marvel of modern discomfort - thin enough to question its existence, with springs poking through like they were trying to escape the misery too. At checkout, we were casually informed that they had forgotten to put a mattress topper on. Oh, that’s what was missing. Just a small detail, like comfort, sleep, or basic hospitality.

The pillows were equally avant-garde. Imagine bricks, but with less give. My neck and back still think they owe the hotel money and are being punished accordingly. However, IF you want to realign your spine the hard way, these pillows will be perfect for you.

The shower situation was also a highlight if you’re into water spraying at anything but your body. In a display of plumbing Picasso, the faucet was attached to the wall with what appeared to be craft glue and a dream, making it impossible to aim the water anywhere functional due to it having the precision of a broken garden hose. Water pressure? Great. Direction? None. I did, however, manage to wash the back of my knee and clean the wall of the shower simultaneously, so there’s that.

As for entertainment, don’t expect Netflix or anything post-2004. The TVs are an ode to the past, outdated and offering a handful of free-to-air channels and a few half-hearted Foxtel options. It’s like time-travel, only sadder.

Housekeeping was… whimsical. They had a fascinating, interpretive approach - some days they’d make the bed, other times they’d just let the room develop “character”. Wiping down the tables and benches apparently wasn’t in their spiritual journey.

All in all, if you’re looking for an experience that will make you appreciate your own home like never before, this is the place. One star for giving me a renewed sense of gratitude and for the unforgettable experience - and by unforgettable, I mean my back will never let me forget it.

Great location, everything at your doorstep, hop on the tram or bus and explore central markets or rundle mall. Close and convenient for business trip stays in the CBD district.
The reception staff are friendly enough.
The rooms are comfy no thrill suitable for short stay. Not a luxury chain but does provide the basics you need for the nights rest.
I do like that in addition to the toiletries they provide the bonus is shower cap and a vanity pack is included for one. It consists of cotton pad, q-tip and a miniature nail board file. Nice extra touch.
The coffee and tea facilities basic and unfortunately the milk provided in the fridge was off.
We did have a carpark pass included with our stay, the location is a bit of a walk across the street so quite inconvenient. The car park and pass is additional cost, and 24 hour access. Disappointingly it did not work for us and all contact numbers for the carpark issues were unattended afterhours as is the reception staff.
Upon notifying the staff next morning we were offered a refund for the inconvenience.
Improvements needed.
Suitable for an overnights business trip but nothing else extra available at this location but cafes and eateries are close by.

Location is good. You may find parking spot nearby after hours. Breakfast time started at 7 which isn't convenient for early travelers
