Stamford Plaza Adelaide

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were able to satisfy all my requests and changd plans. Great location."

Adelaide Riviera Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"BEAUTIFUL AND CLEAN ROOMS. THE BATHROOM WAS ESPECIALLY NICE AND MODERN, ALL STAFF WERE VERY PLEASANT AND HELPFUL WHEN WE ARRIVED EARLY"

Little National Hotel Adelaide

10/10 Excellent

"Room was really comfortable and cosy. Staff were lovely and friendly. Parking available next door in a public park, staff advised they could take a payment but thought it was cheaper to pay directly at the park, but unfortunately when I got down to leave the parking lot charged me $53 for an overnight stay. So my only suggestion would he to pay the hotel for parking. Otherwise, great location, clean, comfy and modern hotel. Would stay again."

Vibe Hotel Adelaide

10/10 Excellent

"The room was a little dusty and we couldn’t find the tv remote but the staff were extremely helpful. They came to help us look and also provided another one when it couldn’t be found. My favourite part of this little staycation was the bed. I have never stayed in a hotel room with this level of comfort before. I loved the mattress and the pillow choices. I haven’t slept so good in a long time."
