Hotel Grand Chancellor Adelaide

8/10 Good

"We were on the 12th floor and found it to be quite noisy, not sure but maybe air-conditioning units on roof. We didn't have our air con on so the noise wasn't coming from our room. Overall comfortable and clean room."

Adelaide Riviera Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was well equipped with a comfortable bed and big shower, although the shower head was quite low. I was only given an internal room that was quite dark with little natural light though and looked out on to a very small internal courtyard. Staff were friendly and helpful."

"I like the room with the balcony and I like the whole room the bathroom was nice and clean the location was great close to Hindley street and Rundle not that far of a walk so everything was excellent looking forward to book again in the future 😁"

Holiday Inn Express Adelaide City Centre by IHG

"Handy to Adelaide bus station and nearby pubs and cafe's. Good standard of accommodation once you're familiar with the toilet/bathroom situation, however the soundproofing from that amenity leaves a fair bit to be desired. Perfectly fine for one person."
