We have been looking for a leather lounge for a while but other things keep jumping the queue ahead of it. However we had been to look at Discount Lounge Centre a few months before Christmas and had seen a couple of lounges we liked. On Boxing Day we wandered in again as we were nearby and decided to order. The lounges were good value for money and very comfortable with a great range of colours to choose from. We were told lounge would take 14-16 weeks to order and deliver and that suited us as we would need that time to save up the balance of the lounge. I was also told we would receive a phone call a week before lounge was due to be delivered. I wasn't expecting the lounge for a while but I was surprised to receive a phone call last Friday (which was only about 10 weeks) to say they would like to deliver our new lounge on Tuesday. Unfortunately as it was a long weekend that didn't suit us as I didn't have the money in my account but advised I could do Wednesday or Thursday. They weren't sure whether they could accommodate that but would ring the night before. They were as good as their word and did ring on Tuesday night to tell me that they couldn't do Wednesday due to a staff shortage but would do Thursday delivery. I found the delivery person very polite and helpful on the phone. They delivered mid morning when they said they would and again were very helpful and friendly. The lounge is as ordered and is very comfortable. I would recommend them if you're looking for a leather lounge!

Approximate cost: $1800

Stayed for 2 nights recently and was impressed, considering that it is a budget priced motel. We had a standard queen room but it was perfectly adequate and had better features than I was expecting. It was a little dusty, owing to the building works at an adjacent building I would assume, and this let it down slightly but otherwise it was excellent for the price. The location is the best thing about it as you are literally a stone's throw from King William St and Rundle Mall and the tram. Couldn't ask for a better location. The airconditioner was a little noisy but it certainly kept the room cool on a very hot weekend. I was glad not to be on the Hindley Street side of the building as Saturday nights in Hindley Street are noisy but other than the airconditioner noise as stated, the room was free from noise. Staff were very friendly and helpful as well. The bathroom was great, the water hot and the shower head was good, even though it was a water saver type and high enough on the wall so that my very tall husband could still get wet enough all over! Good sized flat screen TV on the wall and handy switches near the bed to turn the lights, TV and airconditioner off so you didn't need to get out of bed. They even provided some magazines for reading. We didn't include brekkie in our stay but chose to go over to Southern Cross to Cafe One each day for brekkie and I'd definitely recommend them as well. All in all for 2 nights under $185 all up (we booked 30 days in advance), I couldn't ask for more!

Approximate cost: $185 2 nights

Have been to The Greek twice now and it gets better each time. The food is amazing and the service was top notch, they couldn't have been more helpful. If you are looking for great Greek food this is the place for you. Just make sure you book ahead of time as they are popular! I'd recommend the pickled octopus from the Mezze menu, best I've ever eaten and the desserts are wonderful which makes it very hard to pick just one!

I've always loved the coffee here but when in town on a weekend we stopped in for brekkie and it was brilliant. The food was delicious, beautifully cooked and the price was excellent. So good we went back for brekkie the next day too.

Approximate cost: $12
