Costello Hotels Port Augusta

We recently stayed at Costello Hotel in Port Augusta and found it to be a decent option for a short stopover. The hotel appears newly renovated, with modern interiors and clean, comfortable rooms. The bed was cozy, and the bathroom was clean but the sink was weird. The bathroom cabinet over a half sink does not work. Either knock your head or spill water all over the bathroom floor. The self-check-in process was convenient, but a little confusing at first. With no staff on-site, it took a few minutes to get everything sorted. Parking was available, though not directly outside our room, which could be a slight inconvenience for those with lots of luggage. The location is good for travelers passing through — close to the highway and a short drive to shops and places to eat. It's not a luxury stay, but it gets the job done if you're looking for a clean, quiet place to rest. Overall, Costello Hotel offers fair value for money. It’s modern, tidy, and functional, though a bit impersonal due to the self-service setup. We'd stay here again if passing through the area.

Lovely room, great shower. All we needed was in room. Gates were a problem…when we arrived about 3 pm the sun was on the front door keypad made it very difficult to type code in. Carpark gate took ages to light up and accept code, to leave you had to stretch your arm through gate to type in a code took a while. Probably more suitable for younger generation.

Apartment was not cleaned with hair on bed, bathroom floor and shower. Dental floss hanging over the bathroom tap. Stained linen and dirty cutlery and mechanical grinding noises coming from the bedroom aircon which was off..disrupted sleep and a horrible area next to a dodgy park. So glad this was only and overnight stop!
