A quiet secure property with secure parking.
Very good family reception in a traditional Aussie hotel. It had not been overly modernised and maintained a historic homage to the original service that an establishment of this type would provide in times past.
The Pampas Hotel Port Augusta is a complete disgrace and a far cry from its "4-star" claim â a clear breach of trading standards. My room was unsanitary: mold in the shower tiles, terrible bathroom grouting, and a broken toilet seat with faeces marks were utterly repulsive.
Beyond the grim hygiene, the room had broken drawers and an exposed ceiling vent. Peace was impossible due to unsupervised children and constant noise from staff accessing storage rooms. The shared kitchen facilities led to relentless door slamming, completely negating any privacy in my supposedly private room.
While the bed was comfortable, this hotel is unfit for purpose. I'm reporting them to consumer ombudsman and environmental health. Do yourself a favor and book elsewhere.
This motel is CLOSED very annoyed as I rang a few days to confirm and they didnât say anything and we turned up and it had definitely not been operating for a while!! Needs to be taken off this site!! They had organised other accommodation for us but not the point we werenât the only patrons turning up shocked to find it closed up!!! They should of contacted us!
The bed was comfy, however we did not have a microwave in our room.
The rooms are not very soundproof either, I expected the train noise, but the noisy people in the room next door were awful.
A good, simple stay at Pampas motel. Furniture in room was very nice and shared bathrooms were very clean. Kitchen lacked a fridge and stove (although reception told us that most rooms have fridges). There was a cracked window pane in the room which let a bit of a draught in but it wasnât too cold at night. Overall a good spot for a short stay.
I got there late as I had been driving all day I didnât see the town etc that day, but have been through Port Augusta many times. I found the property to be delightful.
Most of the motel has alot of great character. Lovely and friendly staff. The price you pay is low but value for money is good especially with air con.
