Best Hotels near Sunken Garden, Adelaide

My husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary this year by visiting Adelaide. Stamford Plaza was our main base as we travelled throughout the region experiencing all of the arts, culture, history, Architecture, food and wine of the region. Our stay at Stamford Plaza was pleasant and clean with all the amenities needed in a central location. To raise the bar though it was the service we received at Stamford Plaza from Jacqui aka Jax that made it extra special. From her warm welcome, recommended attractions and hot spots to the extra special touches including bottle of wine to help us celebrate. Our memories of our stay in Adelaide were greatly enhanced due to Jax and the Stamford Hotel. Thank you!

The hotel seems to have just been opened two years ago, and the decoration is very new and modern. The sound insulation is not very good, people passing by the door can be heard very clearly. I didn't have time to experience the swimming pool and gym, so I don't know how it was. The service at the front desk is very friendly. Overall, the price/performance ratio is the best choice.

Friendly check in team helped us check in quickly. Tidy modern room with clean amenities. Convenient location and pleasant stay.

Location is very good. Looking for foods just almost few step away from Chinatown and central market. Hilton have live up his name.

Do NOT GO to the restaurant, Koomo, on the 10th floor for dinner. The worst service we have had in any Crowne Plaza, or in any restaurant in Adelaide, and the most incompetent management to fix a very trivial issue. Last night my wife and I had booked a table for 6 people - two clients and two colleagues from Sydney and Perth.  The restaurant was about half full when we arrived. There were only 2 waitresses working in the restaurant, and it took us more than half an hour to be given menus, and a wine order to be taken.  It took another 20 minutes, after asking many times, for our food order to be taken. Two of our guests ordered a la carte from the menu,  and the other four wanted to try the ”tasting menu” - more expensive than the al la carte menu, with various preset courses. This is where things really started to go wrong. The tasting menu consisted of a choice between beef and chicken. Three people wanted beef and the other person wanted chicken.We were told by the waitress that the kitchen would not cook only one chicken for one person, and that two people would have to have this - in other words the four people could be served either all beef, or 2 chicken + 2 beef, but not 1 chicken and 3 beef. We really thought the waitress was joking, but realised she was serious. We asked her, very politely, if she could have a word with the kitchen and try to arrange this ”difficult” request. Some 15 minutes later the waitress returned and told us that it was not possible and the kitchen was not prepared to cook only one portion of chicken - it must be two portions and somebody else in our group wanting beef should cancel his beef and eat chicken instead. We asked to see the manager to see if he could sort this out, and very clearly told the waitress that if we could not get the food we wanted from the menu, then we would leave and go to another restaurant. No manager came to see us, but the waitress returned and told us that she had discussed with the manager and that the kitchen still refused to cook only one portion of chicken. We were not impressed. We paid the bill for the wine,  put on our coats and left the restaurant. As we were leaving someone from management (hotel or restaurant?) came to us and asked if we could reconsider and stay, and he would ”try” and convince the kitchen. Too late - our first experience of trying the Koomo restaurant had already been spoiled - poor service from the beginning and no feeling whatsoever for handling customers, and not any attempt to fix the very minor point of what we wanted to order by the management, until we were actually leaving.  I do not blame the waitress - she was caught in the middle with no support from the kitchen staff or the management. This is absolutely a management issue - one of making sure that all staff are trying their best to give good service to their customers, especially if the restaurant is selling itself as a high end one. Needless to say none of the six of us will go back,  and a

The location is on Kent Street, twenty minutes walk from the city center. The new apartment is quite clean. The street nearby is very quiet and there are not many people. The mall is a bit far away. There are several restaurants downstairs that have been lively since Thursday, usually only breakfast. The glass shelf where the toiletries are placed in the bathroom is just above the waist. This design is not good and it is dangerous, and it is easy to touch if the bathing station is unstable. The shower is only overhead, which is not convenient for ladies. A clothes dryer and washing machine are integrated. Dishwashers with pots and pans are considered complete. Limited to four, more than four people is not enough. Check out at ten is too early

The hotel is located on a side road which is easily missed.We had to take another turn to locate it. Car parking is at a public location just down the road. The hotel which is fairly new is well equipped and conveniently located within walking distance of Rundle Mall and the train station. The only complaint I have is that the water draining from the shower area may overflow into the toilet area and entrance to the toilet. Apart from this minor issue,the hotel is excellent in most aspects. The staff are responsive and pleasant. As a side note,Club 129 down the alley and opposite the train station,serves a decent meal with promotions throughout the week.

I suspect this motel has recently been taken over by its next-door neighbour and may be undergoing renovations. They're certainly painting outside. Hopefully they'll do the inside as well ... To check in, you have to go next door to the Adelaide Royal Coach. This wasn't mentioned at all during the booking process. It wouldn't be an issue if you didn't have to cross a road and wait for traffic lights to get there and back when checking in and out. Somewhat annoying. The room had everything you needed (aside from Wi-Fi - and you're told there's none when you make the booking). The bed was very comfortable. It was surprisingly quiet at night - even with the Fringe in full-swing. I expected a lot of traffic noise. The room definitely needs renovating. Shower curtain rather than screen, toilet seat that doesn't fit the toilet, etc. Any other location it would be about an $80 room. However, it's within easy walking distance of North Terrace, etc., which was the reason I chose it.

Stayed in a 1 bedroom appt, upgraded to 1 bedroom executive with spa , AS always a great stay, easy check in/out, lovely clean appartment, great, friendly staff, walk to adelaide town centre, and ******
