The Soho Hotel, An Ascend Hotel Collection Member

Professional, helpful, and friendly first-rate front desk staff, 24-7. Nice restaurant downstairs, and good local café down the street for brekky. Also, a German Club across street has a good menu. We booked a clean and roomy studio unit, nice view. Hotel has a GREAT LOCATION downtown, an easy 10-min walk to Rundle Mall and 15-min walk to botanic gardens and the new Nat'l Wine Center. Rooftop pool is tiny but has a dynamite city view. Have no facilities catering to children, but that's fine for us.

Parking is a challenge - a parking garage a block away has weekend $7 flat-rate, but weekday parking on and off-street is dear$$. Has no on-site health club, however they have a relationship with a fitness center across the street for $10 per visit. The internet is free, although sometimes a bit spotty. But these things are typical of Aus cities and we were able to work around all of those. Only negative issue we had was our room wasn't cleaned 1 day of our 3-day stay, which is the only reason we didn't give it an "excellent" rating. Otherwise, a lovely and intimate place that we would highly recommend.
