Being underground

We found the cost of $20 each for a continental breakfast rather expensive. The first morning the girl on duty made coffees for us . 2. Cappuccinos and 1 mocha. The next morning we were informed that these were extra, only instant coffee or tea were included. Also when we booked we were told that they would pick us up at the airport and drop us back there. Unfortunately the car had a flat battery, but according to the airport shuttle guy it had been out of action for quite a while.

It was nice experience staying underground. It was reasonably price, clean and the staff were pleasant.

We wanted a coffee in the morning, keeping in mind they advertise they do serve breakfast here. We were told there was no coffee because they were too busy getting ready for another occasion which happened to be a year 6 kids party. We felt as a paying customer they should take the time to make us coffee anyway or at least let us know in advance, not while we were waiting for service.

So much history and the available facilities were fantastic! Loved that there were a vast selection of DVD’s to be able to watch as a family before bed to settle down to. Great coffee with excellent conversation was a bonus I was not expecting! Thanks for welcoming our tribe and giving us a wonderful Coober Pedy experience.

I have no commentary for this section as I received the service that I expected and a little more for the money and location given proximity to a large city.

Being pet friendly was the biggest plus. The staff were friendly. The room was nice and cool, despite not having air con. The bed, sheets and pillows were very comfy. The towels were nice and the bathroom was fitted out well. Added bonuses included the TV having netflix, the room had a sink, microwave and crockery.

The room could feel a bit stuffy after being there for a while. The place would look amazing with some fresh carpet.

It was a welcome retreat from the heat while I was there, had a little cook out on the grassy area where the kids were happy to run and play. Very close to the main street and walking distance. Overall I will always be staying here whenever in Coober Pedy next, and I highly recommend it to anyone travelling through to stay here! Thank you kindly to the staff for your hospitality.

We arrived late and the instructions on how to check in were accurate and relatively easy to follow. The room and facilities were clean and well set out. It was great to experience the underground charm! Our dog and cat enjoyed the room as well- especially the cat with some exciting exploring carried out!

Having an enclosed dog yard would be great but apart from that, everything else was really good.

The staff were great. We got picked up and dropped off at the airport. We had a bit of a tour around the town by Mel on our way back to the Inn. Mel is full of local knowledge. If you stay here you get discounts at certain tourist spots. The stay is very unique. The room obviously has no windows and it is totally black! You can even nap after lunch. The linen is great! And the bed was comfortable. The room looked just like the photo.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Comfort Inn. We stayed in the two-bed apartment which was spacious and gave the real underground experience. One of our most memorable stays during a month of travelling around Australia. Good location close to the town centre and the Greyhound coach station. A special mention to the amazing Melissa who not only stored our luggage for us on the day of checkout but got us out of a tricky spot by giving us a lift to the coach stop with our suitcases when one of them broke, saving us a tough walk carrying a 20kg case. Thank you!

This may well be the best underground place to stay in Coober Pedy. The location is good just out of the town centre and right next to an excellent mining museum. The accommodation is in an authentic old opal mine. The broad public corridors are charming and well lit, with lots of seating areas, and the room was very large with all the facilities we expect in outback hotels. Sections of the hotel intersect old mine workings and the place is a pretty good example itself of a former mine converted to accommodation. There are little mining tableaus in places so it is a genuinely interesting place. It just felt good. Tip - have an alarm clock or phone available since there is no natural light to wake you up.

The bed was a bit soft for my back.

I like the location and its style, the interior is basically a museum, you can work around to explore the opal mine, even there is the old time mine museum next door. The hotel is quiet and the staff are friendly. It is very close to the Big Wrench where you can have food and enjoy the 360 degree documentary of Coober Pedy.

The fan was always on, even though I know there is a good reason for that.
