Adina Adelaide Treasury review: What are the rooms like?
But the rooms are also spacious, with high ceilings and a good facilities. The studios come with kitchenettes, while the one bedroom apartments (and the bigger apartments) have full kitchens and laundry facilities.
There’s also a really handy indoor pool in the basement.
On the downside, the complex can feel like a baffling maze at times. And, while the apartments are spacious and well-equipped, they’re not exactly going to win any design awards. There’s no attempt to do anything too wild with the décor – it is safe, neutral and businesslike. The charm at the Adina Adelaide Treasury comes from the building rather the interior design.
