The Watson Adelaide - Art Series

Friendly staff, well-appointed, clean room with limited TV options through foxtel. Restaurants and supermarkets within walking distance. Parking was easy and cost-effective options were available. Would stay again

Great stay at the Watson Hotel from start to finish. Service, quality of bed, cleanliness, facilities, pool & Gym fantastic . Parked our car for a small few and the team looked after us with a late checkout when we joined the Accor loyalty program for free.

Great location, stunning views of the Adelaide Hills. Well presented room, included full kitchenette and coffee machine with coffee pods. I can’t fault the facilities, loved the art work, gym and pool facilities. I’ve stayed previously at The Johnson Art Series Hotel in Brisbane and can totally assure, both hotels provide the same quality service.

The Watson is wonderfully located close by to shops and restaurant's and within a short drive to the Adelaide CBD. We stayed in room 705 which was a two bedroom, two bathroom self contained apartment. It had a huge balcony which could be taken advantage of in warmer weather, and had beautiful views over the CBD and the mountains. There was ample room for four adults, and included washing machine and full sized fridge. Free car parking was available if you were able to snag one, but if not, the one beside was secure and only $10 per night. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and having hired a car, easily made and enjoyed day trips to Hahndorf, Glenelg, Brighton, Port Noarlunga and Port Willunga. We would stay here again and again.

We were very disappointed with our recent stay at The Watson. We were kindly upgraded to a one bedroom apartment when we arrived, which was a good start, but everything from there was “downhill”. We paid extra for a covered car park in the basement - we found the allocated bay was quite small in size, and there were no signs to make it obvious where the entrance door was to the Hotel, which was frustrating. Unfortunately we found our room was average and the furnishings looked ‘cheap’. The carpet had large stain marks on it, the television was difficult to use, and the cables were visible and looked ugly on the wall. The air conditioner had not been reset for cold weather, and in the kitchen, the crockery and cutlery were minimal. There were 2 sinks, but no available bench space! The only useful mirror was in the bathroom, but the lighting was inadequate. We expected much better for a 4 star Accor Hotel!!
