New and fresh. The bed was big and comfortable. The tram station was a 2 minute with free tram into the city. Ela restaurant was comfortable and delicious. Parking was convenient and cheap.

The location is very convenient, making it easy to access nearby attractions and amenities. Additionally, the parking is reasonably priced, which is a big plus for visitors. Most importantly, the food offered is outstanding, with a variety of delicious options to choose from. Overall, it's a great spot to enjoy a meal while benefiting from its favourable location and affordable parking.

There was a loud, electrical buzzing noise coming from inside the bathroom ceiling. I sleep with earplugs, so didn't bother me, however it would have bothered others. I am not a fan of a room with a connecting internal door.

Great location, and chilled vibes for a relaxing break! Rooms are fabulously appointed, and beds were super comfy to have a great night's sleep.

I felt that there could have been more staff at Breakfast, it was pageant morning, and many people were up earlier to have a meal and then go and enjoy the festivities , however one (amazing) girl at breakfast was holding the fort between 645 until at least 715 , great service but definitely need more food & beverage staff on for the morning rush, esp. pageant morning! Also, there was some confusion re the use of parking our car, we were asked if we needed parking, to which we confirmed yes, however our car was never registered and then we had to pay full price upon checkout, as a process was not followed when we checked in.

Alba is stylishly designed and the common areas have a nice relaxed vibe. Our very large room had plenty of storage which makes a difference for a longer stay, as do a table and two chairs and a super comfortable bed. We had a great view of the parklands beyond South Terrace which would have been nice to explore except for the intense heat (high 30s every day). Luckily we could cool-off in and beside the large pool and eat delicious salads from Ela for lunch. Friendly and helpful staff top it all off!

It’s on the edge of the city so a bit of walk to most places ... not a problem if it wasn't so hot! There's a bus around the corner and city tram a 10-minute walk along South Terrace. Considering how good the salads were for lunch, the breakfast was somewhat disappointing. The only option in the restaurant is a buffet – it would be good to be able to order one of the delicious-sounding dishes on the room order menu.

As a seasoned traveller with over four decades of experience, I have been a repeat guest at this establishment several times in recent years. However, I've noticed some communication challenges with the reception staff. Simple enquiries are occasionally met with responses that seem disconnected or inappropriate for the situation. As a regular guest, I would expect to be recognised within your booking system, with small personalised touches that enhance the experience. These thoughtful gestures would make it much easier for me to confidently recommend this facility to others—something I do pretty frequently. While I continue to patronise this establishment, addressing these service consistency issues would significantly improve the overall guest experience and strengthen customer loyalty.

All good this time around.

We loved this hotel. We stayed in 2 rooms Saturday night with our 3 children. The kids loved the monsoon shower. We didn't try the pool as the kids put their feet in and it was tool cold being winter. We had dinner in the restraunt on Saturday night and my husband has the steak which was cooked perfectly. I had the barramundi which was delicious( kids had chips and nuggets). For breakfast we had the buffet which we loved. Kids loved the yoghurts. Would absolutely stay here again but for 2 nights next time so we can enjoy it more. All the staff were lovely.

Property, room and facilities are pristine. Staff were super helpful and friendly. Great value for the price it is at currently

Nothing to note. The hotel was hosting a company event one day we stayed and we had to leave the pool area in the afternoon. They allowed us late checkout and free drink vouchers as conpensation

Loved that the facility had been renovated whilst maintaining its old school charm. Pool was magnificent. Good location near the tram and parklands.

Overall, a great stay and would recommend to friends/family. If I'm being picky... The room was very clean and had good amenities but there was a stale smell coming from the drain in the bathroom. It would have been great to have some furniture on the balcony as this overlooked the pool area and it would have been nice to sit out here. Also, something to keep the balcony door open in the warmer weather - also would have been nice to be able to eat breakfast out on the patio/near the pool. Also, a spare roll of toilet paper in the room would have been great!

My favourite place to stay ❤️. High standard of cleanliness. Rooms always smell fresh. Staff are excellent. Really enjoy the ambience of the Alba Hotel. The pool and bar, restaurant give it that Resort Feeling .Also a very quiet place to stay and the parking is great to drive your vehicle in off the road behind the Hotel . Excellent system for parking. Barista Coffee perfection!

Buffet breakfast was delicious but the hot food dishes were cumbersome to use, in taking the heavy lids off and where to put them down while serving your dish

Hotel Alba has all the little extra touches that make your stay enjoyable, from the in-room coffee machine to the shampoo, conditioner, body wash dispensers, smart TV, iPad and Wi-Fi. The Pool is also a big winner with our kids. The Dining experience, both breakfast and dinner were amazing, the best eye fillet we have ever had!! We love the location with easy parking off the street, making it extremely accessible when you check in. Across the road is a wonderful park with a number of playgrounds, great for a nice break from the city hustle. This is our third time staying and we love it so much that we have booked ahead for another trip later in the year.
