Ill start with the good things 1st, we stayed in a Loft Spa Suite and a Executive Spa Suite. Now anyone who knows the prices these are the 2 most expensive rooms in the venue. The room definitely was worth it on both cases. Huge rooms comfortable bed, more TV'S then a man could want. Awesome spa bath, awesome shower and the curtains worked as a black out curtain so we could relax and sleep in.
Now the bad. We went for breakfast down in the bistro. We've ordered eggs Benedict, sunny side up eggs on toast, kids pancakes, a croissant and a bacon and eggs.
All of the bacon was dried over cooked hard

We stayed here for 2 nights and the experience was great. The only downside is when we checked in, we were given a wrong room number. So when we got in the room, someone was snoring and already sleeping in it, then we went back to the reception and was told my room somehow got swapped, this gave us some goose bumps as we didn't know someone was already in the room. The girl working at the reception was lovely though, she did apologize to us and gave us another room. In general, the experience was good

Nice hotel with good facilities. Nice bar with outdoor sitting. Had a dinner once we booked the table next to window and when we get there table has given to someone else. Then staff member took us to the corner of the restaurant. Disappointed. Then asked to sit 6pax table instead 3pax table. But offered free drinks. Wasn't happy. Ruined our dinner out.

Really poor service by the manager of the dining room last night.
Waited over 10 minutes at the bar while I was completely ignored, when I finally called out for service, the lady was angry and confrontational.
She charged me $42 for 2 glasses of wine.
When I worked out what had happened, I lined back up, and spike to a lovely young man at the bar, who said he would grab the manager and get it sorted out.
The manager was the same angry woman that served and over charged me.
I explained what had happened and she proceeded to give back what she said was the cost of 1 drink - however the change

The food was nice but I ordered a full schnitzel and it came out the same size as another on our table who ordered a half. On complaint the staff came back with a message from the chef who advised he cut the half too big. Kudos to the staff who tried but that excuse from the chef I thought was an absolute crock. I'm not sure we will be returning soon as even trying to book for a table of nine was difficult.

My husband and I sometimes drop into the restaurant at the Arkaba Hotel for lunch on the weekend. Not any more. It has always been overpriced but we have put up with that. However, the other day I went there for lunch on my own. The menu has changed. I ordered the chicken stir-fry and a house champagne- $34. The stir-fry was close to inedible - sickly sweet, mostly noodles and the vegetables were a joke. The waitress asked me how it was and I told her that it was not nice. She said that she would tell the chef. She came back and said, "the chef says that's the way they always

One thing I probably regret is that I never checked out the night-club at the Ark - shame on me, especially during my party until the early hours of the morning era. Mind you, the Ark has always had that special quality ever since I was a snotty nosed teenager - I remember it being a big live music venue, and was always pluged on 5KA (which shows you how old I am - this was before it moved onto the FM band and became KAFM). Anyway, I did actually decide to go and check it out one time I was in Adelaide (for the first time mind you, but not for the night-club - it was a little too early) and I have

Recently attended a Beer and Cider festival here which was upstairs - was a great event. Unfortunately we decided to have a pub lunch downstairs which ended up being one of the worst pub meals I have tried. I had the brisket burger - the meat was very scant, dry and not moist. BBQ sauce was on one side of the burger but not soaked into the meat. There were a few canned kidney beans in the burger and very few chips. I felt ripped off for paying $18 for it.
My friends had schnitzels - none of which were finished. The chicken portion was not very big and the crumbing was very thick and gluggy sitting

A group of us headed the The Arkaba last night to see a Fringe Show. To makes things easier we decided to get dinner there beforehand. I really wanted my Arkaba experience to be a good one, because let's be honest, they have copped a bad rap over the years. So I went along with an open mind and hopeful heart (ok, that might be a bit dramatic).
It was a huge letdown.
Despite a revamp of the front Sportys Bar, the decor in the whole place is incredibly dated. The menu had a fair selection, albeit with some strange choices (egg on a beef schnitzel anyone?). Once we ordered we waited...and

I have stayed at the Arkara on a couple of occasions and found the rooms and facilities quite good. The rooms are spacious and clean with comfortable beds. The food was of a good standard and the staff very obliging. The Sports Bar was a great place to mingle and get reasonably priced drinks, served by friendly knowledgable staff. At first found it a bit tricky orientating myself around the whole venue, but after getting used to all the 'quirky' areas enjoyed my experience and will be happy to stay there again.

A yelper below hit the nail on the head describing the atmosphere as that of an 80's ski lodge!
it seems the older you get the more you fit in at the ark, not the adelaide hotspot for under 30's, unless your looking to pick up a cougar/sugardaddy! - if so then this is the place for you.... once you realise you fit in here, your past your prime!
that being said, its not a bad place to go for a fun night out, but its not a great place either!

Haha, The Arkaba.
My family and I have come here quite a few times for dinner, and it's not too bad actually. It's quite nearby, so we find it practical.
I've had the Atlantic salmon, which wasn't bad considering the (more) affordable price. The steak is good too.
My favourite here: the dessert! The apple crumble is really good, but the chocolate ice cream with chocolate cover peanuts and other chocolatey bits is even better! I get it every time after my meal.
The staff are friendly too, but I think they have to revamp the place or add more lighting - it gets a bit dark

Do you like 80's ski lodges? Because if they're like how I imagine they're like - then you'll LOVE the Arkaba. Set on the fringe of Adelaide City, the Arkaba is a huge establishment that seems to always be full of seminars, sales pitches and support groups.
It has everything:
A stereotypical depressing pokies room that once would have been smoky until laws changed, the typical players stay in this room, tracksuit wearing mainly.
The restaurant is very pub like, but always full. The lamb shanks are tasty but took over an hour to come out - but we were compensated with

My first tip if you're a female is, do not flick the light switch on the way out of the ladies bathroom. This switch turns off the lights to the whole bathroom, not just the little swing door bit. Don't do this twice, either. Angry cougars with lipstick smudged for a different reason.
The most fun I ever had here was upstairs on the dancefloor, I was wearing a superman t-shirt, I got so many high fives for this and I'm still not sure why, must be a generational thing...
The Ark is quite a large venue, lots of areas pumping music over the weekend, I cant say I've ever eaten

I've only just reached the demographic where the Arkaba is particularly appropriate (30+) so I've rarely been to the Ark on a night out but I'm sure I will start to.
What I have been to the Ark for is performances/events held upstairs. The cabaret style theatre has ample room for people to watch comedians, singers, quiz nights, which are held here every week.
One of the best things about the set up, is that even when packed, the theatre maintains easy access to the bar, exit or toilets with a walk way that runs around the space.
Drinks are average in price. Some events allow food

The Arkaba used to be known as the 'grab a granny' venue of Adelaide, however it appears lately, Noah has let less dinosaurs on board the Ark, and more cougars (which is definitely a good thing).
There is a huge venue upstairs used for live entertainment such as comedy, latino dancing and cover bands. Downstairs areas also house live music, and there is a huge gaming area (If that is your thing).
I was here on a Saturday night, and the place was absolutely packed. I chose to retreat to the outdoor areas, but had to navigate through the Labyrinth downstairs first.
