Recently had to attend a two day meeting and the venue was the Arkaba. Not our original choice but the organiser felt it was ok. Room was extremely comfortable with everything you needed eg comfortable bed, great water pressure, nice towels and good pillows. Check in was nothing special, just fill the form in and get your room key. Our... More

The venue itself was great and although we had gone to see a particular band there was a disco and another band that we sussed out too. Lots of choice! Breakfast was great... More

I disagree with any of the negative reviews, i thoroughly enjoyed my experience at the arkaba, I've never stayed there. I always enjoyed the comedy night. Good value. Only negative is that it draws in mostly older crowds but it's not the end of the world. Good for a dinner or quiet night out.

Thought we would give it a go again. Last experience was terrible. We got to the bar and the service was just sooooo bad. The man behind the bar whilst clearly seeing us decided to ignore us and pack up glasses etc - I mean why serve the customers? When he did decide to come back to service he said... More

I stayed at the Arkaba for 2 nights on a recent business trip to Adelaide. The hotel seems awkwardly arranged with divisions of space in the centre of the ground floor and doors leading everywhere. It has a retro/casino/sports lounge feel of dark woods and interesting art pieces as well as cabinets full of sports memorabilia. Upstairs in the hallways... More
