Ellen Hotel

Wirrabara

Restaurant was fab, beautifully presented for fine dining. Surprised only two staff waiting in us. Both were excellent.  Our waitresses was so good at her job and made us so welcome. 
Then there was the food, it was delicious. Highly recommended.

Restaurant Top Notch

Fabulous hotel - exceptionally well appointed and absolutely fantastic and friendly staff. Normally we stay with family when visiting Port Pirie, so the calibre and opulence of this hotel were indeed a pleasant surprise. We will be back!

Hidden Gem

Lovely well appointed motel in a good location. Staff were friendly and accommodating. 

Rpom Windows are double glazed to eliminate wharf noise and can't be opened so room was  little stuffy. Not a lot of off street parking.

elegant

We had a wonderful dining experience here made more so by the friendly and welcoming staff, from booking the table to saying goodbye. Delicious food and attentive service, we would highly recommend a visit. And although we didn't stay overnight as we were just passing through, we could tell this is a gem of a place and plan to return.

A hidden gem

I really enjoyed my stay at the Ellen hotel on Port Pirie. The whole hotel had a very fresh and modern look about it and my room was very clean. The staff there were very happy to point out local areas of interest. Thanks also for calling me to let me know I'd left a bottle of wine behind! I recommend staying at this place

A lovely surprise 

The Ellen Hotel is an oasis within Port Pirie. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable, and the shower/bathroom is luxury. My only minor complaint is that the room is dark and could do with some extra lighting if someone was trying to work in the room.
New owners took over in late 2022 and the service is professional and helpful.

Outstanding Country Town Hotel

Booked Ellen Hotel on trip from Coober Pedy to Adelaide, wanted somewhere nice to stay after a run of questionable outback motels.

I booked a Luxury Suite, the photos looked stunning but in reality it was an internal room with no windows to outside. Only windows are to the adjoining Luxury Suite with a glass fishbowl lounge area where everyone can look in.

I wouldn’t of minded as much if the didn’t interrogate me around the credit card for payment. I had 4 interactions all within the first 2hrs Rolf arriving. I’d just driving 6hrs and was tired to have Payment of room be queried, I booked and paid via my Qantas Holiday app - who then pay the hotel. After I check in, I got a phone call to return to reception - where the man said the credit card declined. I told him I prepaid - showed bank statement and confirmation emails but since the Ellen Hotel confirmation email said payment outstanding he made me feel like I was trying to defraud them - even wanted a different credit card, as he charged in EFTPOS machine the one on file in front of me to show me it was declined - it was very awkward and made me feel he would charge my guarantee card I provided.

Having worked in hotels myself for many years, I asked him if he had contacted Qantas to confirm payment whereby my last interaction was that a virtual credit had been provided and could only be charged on checkout date - it seems like education is lacking all round.

I can’t fault the room, and the internal decor - it was immaculate, bathroom was stunning with steam shower but no external windows. Incredibly clean (apart from some wear and tear with roof peeling from steam shower and bottle marks on tiles) 

The place was a motel that they’ve fully revamped and hats off to the owners that did this for the industrial town. It would probably be a great getaway location - and for my first time in Port Pirie I wouldn’t return over my check-in experience.

Great refurbished motel, service questionable.

All the reviews i have read here it actually really surprised me as im not thinking the same!

Managed to check in at 12 as our room was ready, the room was spacious and clean but very dark.  So lights were on continusly.

Netflix in the room was a nice idea, just log into our accout and watch.

Disappointed that the restaurant was closed, was hoping to eat here rather than pub food again!  And the bar was closed too, would have been nice to sit in the area with a glass of wine before bed

Check out, we wanted coffee (even though tea/coffee making facilities were available in the room)  So couldnt even get a good coffee from the restaurant area.

So yes, a bit of a let down.....

Disappointed Stay

Beautifully and uniquely decorated, this hotel is a perfectly located beacon of luxury in Port Pirie. The professional yet personable staff are welcoming and helpful. There is a restaurant conveniently located within the hotel, or you’re just a minute’s walk away from various dining and retail outlets. I wish every town I visit had an Ellen Hotel!

Beautiful & luxurious

Fantastic 5 star rooms, service, food and friendliness. Room service, great wine list, reasonable rates and Elvis on Ellen available, just come to see for yourself. I was amazed for Pt Pirie, located in the heart of the CBD, walking distance around this historical town
