Stamford Plaza Adelaide, WorldHotels Elite

Great position in the centre of Adelaide. Easy parking with access from side street. Verty helpful concierge as we had lots of luggage.I also made use of the health club facilities which were very good.

We relocated to this hotel after a dreadful experience at Oakes Embassy Suites down the road. Even though our room in Stamford Plaza showed signs of aging, the room was clean as you'd expect it to be! It was comfortable, quiet, and more centrally located on North Terrace and we were much happier in this hotel. No complaints worth reporting.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel. We were checked in by Amanda at the front office, and she was such a lovely, friendly, and welcoming lady. She made the check-in process smooth and pleasant. The hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The room was nice and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The price was also very affordable for the quality and service we received. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and affordable place to stay. Thank you to Amanda and the team for making our stay so enjoyable!

The Stamford staff have been exceptional all the way from checkin, to breakfast and checkout . It has been seamless and friendly . Will certainly stay again

Cleanliness an issue. Reception ok. Rooms are small. Very small for 5 star hotel and bathroom was smaller. Mould is an issue. See pics.

Old tired and Shabby. No valet parking. No consierge . Room was on 19th floor very noisy from elevators. Very run down . Barman at Cascades put a huge sqeeze of lemon juice from a plastic bottle in my Dry Martini enough to make the drink yellow was discusting had to get him to make again even then it came in a warm glass with no garnish. Attached are photos of Cascades furniture

It is great, highly recommended, great service

Hotel is in a great location opposite the station. Smooth check in and a nice bright spacious and modern room. Comfy bed and pillows. Breakfast was a busy affair as the fringe was on but food was of a good variety and quality. The hotel has some not so good points - the lifts were atrocious, took ages to arrive and were often out of order. Being opposite the train station, the hotel attracts unsavoury characters outside, especially at night. The hotel needs to do something about them sitting outside the entrance. When we were due to leave the doors had to be locked due to a fight outside. A safety issue. The hotel has good views over the city and is just around the corner from the main shopping area and attractions. The outdoor pool area is small but welcome. A spa was advertised but this appeared to be long gone.

Easy book in and staff very friendly ....special mention of Linc the conceirage.

Having arrived at 8am on a very early flight i was keen for an early check in. Extreme noise in the lobby made it difficult to communicate with staff, i agreed to an 'upgrade' fee of $60 that would not only allow me to check in right away but give me a better room 'with a view'. Unfortunately, that view was on the 13th floor and consisted of a construction crane through a very dirty window! The amenities expected with a 5 star hotel do not exist. You can get a robe but only if you ask and it's crumpled, well worn and scratchy. The white towels were more of a grey beige and need to be replaced. Rooms were spacious but very dated. bathroom was terrible! Water pressure does not exist and the toilets require at least 2 flushes. Room service from Boca was great (Empanada's were delicious) On the second night i chose from the Asian menu - satay skewers that were tough, dry and obviously reheated. The breakfast buffet is NOT worth it, unless you get it for free or during the $1 promotion. It was not worth the $30 I paid and you would be better off finding a nice cafe nearby. Pros- Stream cast TV, large rooms, comfy beds, great walkable location. Cons- Food options limited, mini bar is bland and $$$, Rooms are very noisy due to old AC system, the soap/shampoo/bathroom stuff is rubbish. There are basic tea/coffee supplies but they are tucked away in a drawer and it's a pain to set up. This place needs a renovation and a bit more luxury perks to be a true 5 star hotel.

Perfect location, quiet , large rooms, good value for money. Special thanks to Linc for organising secure parking for our larger vehicle . Definitely recommend

Dreadful, cold , dirty, hard to park

The location of Stamford Plaza is excellent. The important Adelaide sights are all within easy walking distance. The railway station is right opposite and so is the tram stop. We had a Deluxe room with a park view. Otherwise, the hotel has a very jaded and old look. The room was comfortable and there were good toiletries in the bathroom. But the bathroom itself needs a renovation. The shower mixer is erratic. The elevators were a major problem point during our stay. The Cascades lounge at the rear was very dimly illuminated, old faded chairs and seemed dusty. The toilets were also badly lit. The breakfast at TGs was just about ok. The food on the buffet counters did not look appetising. On the positive side, the staff / housekeeping, were helpful, courteous and did their best to make us comfortable.

Great location and very comfortable hotel. Amarida at reception was excellent - very helpful

We've stayed here a few times before over the last years and it doesn't seem to have improved. Decor is dated and on this occasion the lifts were not working properly with one lift out of action. On the 7th floor a sign pointed to the service lift for use but there was no sign on the door and when we finally walked down the 7 flights (me with a crippled leg) we exited on the side street and the stair well stuck on stale urine. A staff member took us back up the service lift and discovered that the 7th floor door was locked from the inside. Wait times for the lifts were in the order of 20 minutes for our friends on the 18th floor. Our room carpet was buckling, and the basin drain was rusty. Shower over the bath was difficult to use as the hot water was on the verge of boiling with a danger of scalding if you were standing in the bathtub when turning on the hot tap. Also the plumbing noise from the room next door was deafening in our room. Not a good stay apart from the location. Staff were excellent dealing with difficult circumstances,

The power points & lights were not working properly. The TV was fading out at the bottom

Extremely disappointing stay. The property feels outdated and run-down, and hygiene, safety, comfort, and service were all well below expectations. I was told about elevator issues, but not about a bright construction light shining into my room 24/7, making it impossible to rest. Breakfast was cheap and poorly executed — tasteless steamed buns, dried-out vegetables, and rubbery pancakes from basic mix. The area was dusty with dirty vents; when I reported it (with photos), staff claimed they “couldn't find the vent.” A used dental pick sat on the carpet outside the lift for days, even after being reported. On a Saturday night there was only one person at the bar — long delays, they ran out of glasses, and my Long Island Iced Tea was served in a beer glass. I have photos to support these issues, and the complete lack of response or corrective action from the hotel says it all. At this price point, it feels like a rip-off. I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere if you're expecting a clean, luxury stay.

Stay was amazing, the location was great, right in the middle of everything. Ashlee & Aman were extremely helpful and provided great service. Both went above and beyond. La Boca food was delicious, and the staff were amazing.

Stay was amazing! room was clean and spacious. Very luxury feeling & Linc provided great customer service.

good room, and facilities, good location. . We also noted the lifts were slow but managable as only 2 of the 3 working

Lovely welcoming check-in. Amanda was very helpful with securing an early check in the same time as our friends. Rooms very clean. Cascade Lounge staff disappointing in service. Bar closed earlier than advertised without offers of last drinks. Tables not cleaned and service very slow on Monday 16th evening. Stamford in great area to get to airport and close to trams. Unfortunately one lift out of action so very slow. Love the robes and ice delivery.

Not what we would rate as 5star. No porters to help with luggage. It is a great location and room good and good bathroom Buffet breakfast highly disappointing not even tea and coffee bought to the table. No fresh fruit apart from melon everything else was tinned!!! If you wanted yogurt or different coffee you had to queue at another counter and pay extra. While the staff were dealing with these orders anybody waiting for a table was left standing

The Stamford Plaza Adelaide boasts an outstanding location in the heart of the CBD on North Terrace, directly opposite the Adelaide Convention Centre, Parliament House, and Casino, with easy walking access to the Adelaide Oval, Festival Centre, River Torrens, museums, shopping, and public transport. The atmosphere is refined and welcoming, with spacious public areas and a warm vibe, though some find it slightly dated. The rooftop pool and bars like Cascades Lounge add a relaxing touch with city or park views. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, featuring comfy beds, good showers, air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and often excellent views, but decor can feel tired or in need of refreshment. Cleanliness remains strong, with well-maintained and hygienic spaces. It offers solid value for a central five-star stay, with attentive service from professional staff, low to moderate noise levels (mostly quiet, occasional lift or city issues), and decent amenities including an outdoor pool, gym, multiple restaurants/bars, free WiFi, and parking—making it a reliable choice prioritising convenience and service over modern flair.

Rooms themselves are ok but very dated, car park an absolute nightmare with no lift access and very few spots and do not under any circumstances pay for breakfast it is unedible.

Stayed two nights here. Very convenient location. A tram stop outside and a short walk to the railway station across the road. Several minutes walk to the city centre and Rundle Mall and a short tram ride to the botanical gardens. The room was large with a very comfortable bed. By contrast the bathroom was quite small with a fixed glass shower screen which didn't stop the water from running out all over the floor! Staff were very pleasant and helpful.

My husband and I came for a trip to Adelaide without kids. We looked forward to the 5 star luxury. This was a disappointment, as this is definitely not 5 star luxury hotel. Carpark that can only be navigated by a 1971 Torana or a midget car. We risked damage to the vehicle going in and out the car park, it was shocking. Towels that can double as exfoliating cloths but not replaced. Clattering water pipes that will shake your world at 2 am when your neighbour four rooms down takes a shower. Decor that goes well with your suede jacket and flared pants. General stacks of project rubbish all around the hotel, hidden behind room dividers but gathering lots of dust over time. An eyesore. I feel the hotel is misrepresented. The staff is friendly and helpful.

We stayed here during the Ashes Test match recently and found it very convenient. It is only about a 650 metres walk to the oval and is a comfortable hotel to stay in. The buffet breakfast was very filling and had a good variety of food available. The only problem we encountered was the lifts! I think maintenance was being carried out on the 3 lifts for most of the time we were there. this was at times very inconvenient and fortunately we were. only on the 5th floor so walking down the fire escape stairs was not a huge problem. A friend of ours was on the 19th floor and she con occasions had to be brought down in the service lift. Assuming this problem will be fixed, I would certainly stay there again when visiting Adelaide. It is also a very easy walk from Rundle Mall for shopping.

We stayed here over Christmas 2025. Great location and the rooms were clean although looking a little tired. We had a twin room and was pleasantly surprised with 2 double beds. The beds were comfy and the hotel was a good base while we visited family. Ok now for the negative… we had to constantly wait over 10 mins for a lift. At one point it was considerably longer as the first lift was full. They have 3 lifts, however only 2 appeared to be working. The breakfast team needs work. On all 3 mornings we had to ask for paper napkins as in their cutlery bin on the table there was constantly only one or none at all. If you are going to be super tight with paper napkins ensure your staff are topping up the cutlery bins throughout the morning. Our room included a breakfast buffet. Majority of the food ( each morning) was cold despite putting in a bain Marie. Only once did we see a chef doing omelettes to order. Would I stay here again? Probably not! For the price I'm sure there are other hotels with in the area that can offer a better service.

The reception staff were fantastic. In contrast he level of service at breakfast was woeful. They need complete retraining. The staff need to be told. yes smiling is part of the job. Yes greeting the clients is part of the job and when clearing a tables, you do not bring dirty dishes from another table, put them down in front of the clients who are still eating at another table and then ask the customers to stack their dishes on top. This crosses both health and safety and customer service concerns. Expectations and addition. In addition, people were waiting up to 30 minutes in the cocktail bar in the evening for the drinks to be served. On our first visit we ended up walking out. Positive the rooms were clean and comfortable, the reception said the receptionist with fantastic and the management staff were pleasant

Complete shambles with the lifts - had to regularly wait 10 minutes and sometimes ended up in the service lift. This has been going on for months. DO NOT STAY HERE UNTIL LIFTS ARE FIXED

In any other location, this would get a lower score. It's a great area and close to so many lovely places within walking distance. For a 20-floor hotel, a lift is essential, and multiple people had issues throughout their and our stay! Going to the rooftop pool could leave you stranded! Poor communication, when reported, exacerbated the situation. Being told it's just renovation, getting fixed right now, or the lifts don't talk to each other properly forever helps guests! The stairs weren't always an option (indeed, one staff member didn't think the hotel had any!) with some doors shut and some with signs stating where the one service lift was! If you want to run a hotel properly, get the basics right and communicate! Breakfast was well presented, and the rooms were comfortable. The bathrooms need to be the next for renovation with leaking taps and stiff joints. I've seen more of the car park stairs than the rest of the hotel! Must try harder!

Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again next time we come back to Adelaide. First time here and my wife and I love the city. Perfect place to enjoy it being so close to everything. Thank you to Concierge Shaun for making our stay more comfortable. The little things make a big difference in my book. Rooms were fine, nice big bed. Lounge on the ground floor is quiet and comfortable. Has a real vintage feel to it and bar has happy hour specials. Bar service a bit slow and apparently need training on setting up beer keg and regulator. Buffet breakfast was good, all the traditional things done properly and an omlette station. Coffee costs extra but worth paying 6 bucks for good coffee.

Would've been nice to have been informed that the lifts in the car park and lobby were currently being fixed before or during booking so we could've made an informed decision of our recent stay. The notice came only AFTER the booking was made. Apart from the saga with the lifts we enjoyed our stay in our comfortable room and bed. Great value for money and the location was unparalleled - close to everything. Will stay again in the future. Hopefully new lifts would've been installed by then and breakfast variety would've been improved too especially the lackluster service from staff who forgot we paid and ordered for coffee only to be served after I reminded her that she's already served 4 people who ordered AFTER us - to which she just nodded with no apology but said ‘straightaway' instead through gritted teeth. Unfortunately these types are the ones that drag down the otherwise prestigious name of a brand such as Stamford.

We recently stayed at the Stamford Plaza in Adelaide for 6 days and although the room itself was lovely and the staff were friendly,the standard of housekeeping was completelly unacceptable.We arrived on the monday,and went touring on the Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday. On each of those days we returned to find our bed unmade ,bins not emptied and the room was not always replenished.Thursday evening I eventually rang the service desk and after waiting over an hour and a second phone call they finally sent someone up to clean and make up the room and take away the cups and glasses from the day before.However,the following day (Friday) once again to return to find the same issues---the bed not made up.For a hotel of this reputation,the lack of consistent and basic housekeeping was extremely disappointing and well below expectations.I was very disappointed as I paid $20.00 extra each day to up grade and unfortunately received a downgrade.

We stay there overnight and was slightly disappointed with the service and the apprance of the hotel we had a couple of cocktails at the bar and it took the barman over half an hour to get my drink out and it tasted like crap so I think it's time for us to look elsewhere its just not as good as it used to be as we have been there before and the dining and service was awesome so I think they've got a bit of work to do

If I could give this review zero stars I would. This stay was for five nights - we checked out in less than 24 hours and relocated to the Sofitel hotel. Stamford is ‘self rated' 5 star hotel… really??? Based upon our experience I would think they would struggle to achieve three stars on an independent review. This hotel NEEDS a renovation desperately. The quality of room was poor, the breakfast would be an embarrassment to any hotel of quality. We booked this stay via Qantas and have sent a complaint back to them about the description of this hotel and services. I spoke at length to the Front Office Manager as I checked out with four days stay still paid for. To his credit he listened and was apologetic - but the fact is, this is a sub-standard hotel with poor facilities and very low quality standards. If you are reading this and thinking of staying… I suggest you look elsewhere. A five star self-rating is a nonsense and very misleading. Even the hotels own website and TV info, let alone the pictures in the lift showing a lovely breakfast are a nonsense. My wife was too embarrassed when I wanted to take pictures of the food on offer at the breakfast buffet - so I didn't take any. We will chase Qantas for a refund as none was offered by the hotel… a waste of our first day in Adelaide.

Very dissapointed with this CBD Hotel to, say the least. We waited an hour, after asking twice as to where our ordered cheese platter was..... Hotel bar closes at 10pm on a Friday night (did I mention this hotel is right in the cbd) Bedroom was clean & tidy, but the bed was like sleeping on a park bench, very hard & uncomfortable Coffee at breakfast was cold & I think they forgot put the coffee in the cup There are a number of other hotels on this very busy street, try there first.

Staff at the front desk and concierge were always very helpful. Great location Bed comfy bathroom towels thick and plush what more could you ask for? A bath??

Old school digs that was very busy with travellers, conferences and FIFO Zero issues checking in Very old school vibe and needs a make over But very clean and functional Shower compact and fine Products generic Huge comfy bed First night no noise Then second night due to flight delay was noisy from neighbour and on 19th floor could hear a bit of street noise at all hours Did effect sleep Didnt eat here but enjoyed bar happy hour Parking tight Walking distance to many attractions Lifts were horrendously slow Allow for that

I'd like to give a big thank you to Kulpreet. I am here on a business trip. For some reason I need to extend one more day. His assistance truly made all the difference, anticipating needs and handling everything with a smile. Thanks to his attentive and helpful service, my entire stay was wonderfully smooth and enjoyable. The comfort and genuine hospitality I experienced made it a truly relaxing and memorable visit. largely thanks to him.

Reflections of a very enjoyable stay were temporarily ruined when my wife and I realised that we had left a precious book behind in our hotel room. But no worries. A call to the Front desk led to its recovery and return by courier. Well done by all staff. We will certainly stay there again (and try to leave cleanly).

From the moment I stepped into Stamford Plaza Adelaide on North Terrace, I was met with warm smiles and a personalized welcome that made me feel instantly at home. The staff addressed me by name from check-in to check-out, creating a friendly and attentive atmosphere. The hotel's central location is a major draw, placing guests within easy reach of Adelaide's vibrant attractions. Just 600 metres from Adelaide Oval, it's a sports lover's dream for catching cricket or AFL games. Rundle Mall, a mere 200 metres away, buzzes with shopping, while historical gems like the Art Gallery of South Australia 500 metres and Adelaide Botanic Garden (1.6 km) offer cultural immersion. The lively food and fashion districts of Gouger Street (1 km) and Leigh and Peel Streets 800 metres are perfect for dining and style enthusiasts, making the hotel an ideal base for exploring Adelaide's dynamic scene. The King Deluxe room was a standout, providing a clean, cozy, and spacious haven that was remarkably quiet despite the bustling city location. Equipped with modern amenities like a flat-screen TV, minibar, and plush bedding, it offered everything needed for a relaxing stay. The thoughtful addition of complimentary chocolates and a bottle of wine added a special touch, making the experience feel indulgent. Transportation is a breeze from Stamford Plaza, with options catering to every traveller's needs. Directly across from Adelaide Central Station, the hotel offers easy access to trains for quick trips to the airport (7 km, about 15 minutes by car) or coastal spots like Glenelg Beach, a 40-minute tram ride from nearby stops. Buses and trams are steps away, ensuring seamless public transport, while valet parking is available for drivers, though the car park's tight layout may challenge larger vehicles The staff's warmth and professionalism were exceptional, with special thanks to Anisa, Varisha, and Janvi for their meticulous daily room upkeep, always delivered with a smile. Their efforts made the stay feel personal and polished. Nearby food districts offer endless culinary variety, from Gouger Street's global flavors to Leigh Street's trendy cafes. I hope to be back sometime soon..........

Staff were friendly. Comfy bed and pillows. Shower could have used a bit of a scrub but have seen worse. Individual shower/conditioners not bolted to the wall was a nice change. Handy location to Rundle mall, museum and art gallery. Would stay there again

Great service from Aman on our arrival , he goes the extra mile to ensure guests needs are taken care of in quite,friendly manner and efficient manner.

We love staying at the Stamford Plaza Adelaide. The location is great, close to train station, city, Adelaide Oval, trams and much more. Staff are always so helpful, rooms clean and comfy…and we love the breakfast!

A lovely hotel, reception, concierge and housekeeping were exceptional. They made us feel very special for our anniversary. The beds were extremely comfortable and a nice dark room. We will be back.

Everything was fine with this hotel until I went to use my $50 credit that I had paid for in advance, after dinner. The staff at La Boca Bar and Grill refused to allow me to use the credit so I had to pay for my meal myself. I then had to get a refund of the $50 credit at reception. I also paid $30 for breakfast the next morning but when I went down at 10:00am, I was told that my room number was not on the list therefore I left hungry. At checkout I complained that I was not allowed to have breakfast and they advised me to come back the next morning, but I was taken away by ambulance the next day so I missed out on breakfast yet again. I complained to the third party whom I had made the booking with and was told that I had arrived for breakfast too late, but breakfast is from 6:00am to 10:30am. I also paid a security deposit upon check in on 5 June 2025 and as of 24 June 2025, the money still has not been released. They have advised they released it on 20 June 2025 but I have just phoned my bank and there hals been no attempt to release the funds. Never again will I book in to this hotel. They are extremely difficult to deal with once they have your money.

The room was neat and well presented. The breakfast was extensive but they really need 3 coffee machines instead of one. The service at check in/out was rushed and uninformative. We had to ask for clarity on parking and facilities a few times during the stay. They also don't reimburse credits till 2 days plus, after you leave.

location is good right near train station, trams, casino and festival. However Stamford is not 5 star in service or room amenities. We have travelled many many places and been on tours this is the first time we have had a room with no tea and coffee making - yet there was plenty of room to have a kettle etc, no drinking glasses in room - despite having wine in the mini bar. The room was a $100 "upgrade to spa suit due to reception advising we didnt have a view in the booked room - however our new room showed view of a car park and towers. facilities overall are tired, ripped & stained carpet and chairs - the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was included in room cost and was good and service there good. Bar and happy hour very disappointing - 20 minute wait for a cocktail staff advised she didnt know how to make, it arrived in a tall glass no garnish very 2 star !!!! We were unable to finish the drink as it tasted awful. Happy hour wine was poor choice "only the sav blanc or a red sorry" So overall I am glad my stay was heavily discounted due to me being an Expedia gold member. We would not pay the full room price to stay here again.

Loved the beds and was a very relaxing environment. Breakfast, whilst typically not included with booking, was delicious. Whilst we had some problems with electricity and gas, a staff member named Claire happily assisted patiently (was quite difficult to figure out the hot water). The location is very convenient for those who solely want to reside in the CBD, filled with restaurants and resources just a walk away.

This is the most over priced out dated accomodation ive stayed at in Adelaide. Myself & partner got a weekend away with no kids and decided to stay here for abit of luxury and close to Adelaide oval for the showdown. Location perfect!! Price of room for facilities which havent been updated since like maybe early 90s. I was actually shocked. Ive stayed at other cheap options which have more recent renovations completed. The shower was pathetic, boiling hot or freezing cold and 5mins inbetween temp change. Room is old and boring. And the mini bar prices is another cash grab again. Honestly better options of value on north terrace

We were very disappointed, the return air in the air conditioning rattled all night, the television would freeze every couple of minutes & as we had to leave very early trying to be quite the door was so squeaky. We reported the issues but there didn't seem to be a great deal of interest.

Really pleasant experience staying at the Stamford Plaza in Adelaide. We were treated to a free room upgrade which was great. Room was clean and spacious, breakfast was great and the hotel location was very close to buses, trams and train station. Would highly recommend staying here

My stay at the Stamford was perfectly fine. The location is excellent, with most sites within walking distance or accessible via public transport directly near the hotel. But the dated and tired feel of the hotel was noticeable. The room was large and functional but the mattress felt especially old and worn. The bathroom was clean but also outdated with hard to use shower mixes and average lighting. Overall, you will be fine if you need to stay here at a pinch but there are more comfortable stays available in this city.

The hotel a/c was outside our window. The noise was 24/7. Impossible to take advantage of the opening window because of noise. We asked for a room change after the first night but were told the hotel was full. We were booked for five nights. We left with bites appearing all over our legs which continued to show up for days later. Reporting this to the hotel they said they would have the room thoroughly inspected by pest control and get back to us. Now April and have heard no more.

Recently a second stay to the Stamford Hotel. It is central to all things of the city. Bring your walking shoes.. just beautiful this time of the year. Morning strolls are great with the fresh air hitting your face. Overall hotel service is excellent and the staff are attentive. Breakfast a generous spread of all things good at breakfast time. The only downer is coffee is not included in the breakfast token. You are obligated to charge your room or pay as you go. Stayed at many hotels and 1 coffee is a barista service and included in breakfast offer. We didn't take any other meals at the hotel and ate out. Walked back to the hotel. Make sure you are accomplished with a friend or close friend on the return trip at night. Some scary things observed. Convenient for short trips.

Smooth check-in and check-out, lovely professional staff, clean comfortable room with a view, great breakfast. Loved the location, so easy to get to the Festival Theatre and restaurants. Would definitely choose to stay here again next time we're in Adelaide.

We stayed three nights at The Stamford in the centre of Adelaide's CBD. Its best feature was the central location which put us within easy walking distance of all the city's main sights. LOCATION: We walked everywhere from the hotel. Rundle Mall, North Terrace, the Glenelg tram, the Art Gallery, and the SA Museum were all 2 - 5 minutes walk away. ROOM: Our room was spacious and very comfortable. Importantly, it was also nice and quiet at night. The curtains allowed us to make the room quite dark which meant that we enjoyed a good, long sleep-in. All the normal things I'd expect in to find in an Australian hotel were here - kettle, desk, bar-fridge etc. On the first day, they also provided large bottles of water. The bathroom was clean, spacious and supplied with a very nice range of toiletries. SERVICE: When we first checked-in, the girl on the desk appeared disinterested and the welcome was lukewarm. This seemed to be a one-off as during the rest of the stay, we found the other staff to be consistently helpful and friendly. POOL: We had chosen the Stamford in large part because it had a roof-top pool. This turned out to be a disappointingly drab area and was not a space where you would spend any time. There were no lovely loungers, no bar and the feature wall was painted with a tacky mural. Such a shame as even a small overhaul would improve the pool area out of sight. BAR/RESTAURANT: We had a pre-dinner drink one evening in the bar but there was little atmosphere, our drinks arrived at different times and the cocktail was nothing special. We didn't have the chance to try out the restaurant. OVERALL: Despite a slightly mixed experience, overall this suited us well because the room was comfortable and it was such a good base for spending a couple of days in and around the city.

Staff very friendly and accommodating. Good facilities. Gym and pool were good, breakfast nice and bar good for a quiet drink at the end of the day. Close to transport, walking distance to the casino. Also left a nice gift for my wife's birthday when checking in.

We stayed a week, The room was great. Comfortable bedding. Pillows are fantastic Service is fantastic, Can not fault the place. Good variety for breakfast. In room dining was also excellent. Locality is good. Short walk to many excellent eateries ,Festivals Theatre and the Casino.

Central ac in room very loud with droning noise. Unable to sleep. Asked for different room and given "a deluxe room' ac louder than the first. I will look elsewhere when in Adelaide. Staff were helpful. It's just a tired infrastructure .......

Rooms are a good size. Beds and pillows comfy. Room service is quick and food was hot. Buffett breakfast was delicious and lots to choose from. Hotel is right opposite the train station and trams are out the front so is very convenient. Beautiful views of Adelaide.

We enjoyed our staff. Our check in took a bit longer than we would have liked, a highlight was the gentleman who helped us park and bring our bags in. He greeted us each morning offering advice and help, his name Was Linc. He helped us with the parking and was just a lovely presence in the foyer

At first I got offered an old room on level 6, which was a bit dark and gloomy. I went to the reception and asked for a change. They put me on the 19th floor, with a better room and a nice view. What I only found out when I went to bed was, that right above the room, there is the pool, and the pump and the pool's machinery was running all night. The back of the bed is vibrating and the constant humming and vibrating items in the room is ridiculous and no way acceptable in a hotel. Since it is not an outside noise, but one that goes through the concrete, earplugs don't work. Whatever you do, NEVER on 19. floor. For me it will be a "never again" in this hotel. Shocking!!!!!!

The room was nice and big and well equipped though the bathroom was a bit dated. However the aircon is centrally controlled despite having controls on the wall. We had to ask reception each time to turn it down. Very disappointing that a major hotel in a capital city closes its bar at 9.30! Plus one member of staff on the bar who seemed poorly trained. We ordered cocktails and it was clear he didn't know how to make them and we waited about half an hour - all the time he kept serving other people. When the cocktails finally arrived they were not very nice at all. Some of the crockery in the breakfast area was not clean. Very disappointing for what used to be a good brand

Our housekeeper Rajwinder Kaur went above and beyond to accommodate our needs providing exceptional customer service. She was prompt with our requests and her friendly mannerisms is an access to the Stamford Hotel. Check in staff was helpful.

We walked in off the street looking for a nice place for a drink before dinner elsewhere. Ordered his g&t and then my negroni. G&t given immediate then Was told the bar person would charge our card first then bring the drink to our table. We waited and wearied and waited… meanwhile they took three groups' orders. We asked how the negroni was coming asking- ‘on its way' we were told. Meanwhile she pour beers and kept taking orders. Finally we rested our $28 refund for my drink as he had almost finished his g&t. For heavens sake! It was the ‘happy hour' - one person at the bar who couldn't juggle orders and serving effectively. With no back up. No apologies from manager who we had to wait for to process the refund. Good help then when the festival hits ?

Great hotel and location. Staff were friendly, courteous and professional. The rooms and facilities were always clean and well-kept, and the restaurant/bar on premises was great. With the added benefit of a gym on site, you couldn't ask for much more. Would definitely recommend to others.

Great room, good location. Bathroom in need of some TLC, sweaky door and old shower. Dining option at recommended restaurant adjacent to the hotel was overpriced we visited but left when we viewed the outrageous pricing. We found alternative eating options just down the road which were well priced.

I lost my rental car keys and was up for an expensive bill. Reception found my keys. The keys were however for a different coloured car. If it wasn't for Josh who went the extra mile to physically check if this was the right set of keys I would have been still in the same situation. Fantastic service, really appreciated!

Awesome stay. Friendly staff. Great buffet breakfasts. Plan to stay at Stamford Grand next time. Will recommend the hotel to family and friends. Walking distance to the Mall and drove to Glenelg. Definitely come visit again but in a spa suite.

Good: - The staff are all lovely and helpful - The rooms were clean - While the fitout of the rooms is aged, everything was largely functional and priced accordingly Not so great: - The "only three devices on the wifi" thing is annoying when the wifi is required to cast to the TV - The lifts were temperamental and slow. At some point they broke entirely, and there was no notification to the different floors. We ended up walking down the fire escape, and noticed that someone had wedged the fire escape door open with a towel so that they could get back to their floor after being in the pool. This seems like a security and hazard issue - There was a card about skipping house cleaning service in return for $10/day off your food bill. We skipped three days and it wasn't reflected on the bill, so I'm not sure how they keep track of that but it doesn't seem like it was working - One of the electrical sockets in the room was not working, so the lamp wasn't working. I don't mind the fact that the room fittings were old, but I'd hope that the electrics were working. Having sockets closer to the bed would be convenient as well - The aircon was a little finicky, it was a hot week and it didn't really keep up

Lovely centrally located hotel. I actually live in Adelaide but wanted to get away and relax by a pool. We did exactly that. Lovely room. Very friendly staff. The pool was great and easy to access. (The mural on the pool wall needs mentioning because it is so weird and needs updating) but it didn't affect my enjoyment. Room was great. Bed was comfy and block out curtains were great too. Breakfast buffet was plentiful and varied. As a person with gluten intolerances I didn't see any gluten free toast( but I didn't ask) other dishes were marked Gluten free, vegan etc. Lots of fruit was great. There was a coffee machine to help yourself included or you could pay extra for a Barista made coffee. Close walking distance to everything in town. Perfect for staying at when it's Fringeor Festival time.

I stay here quite a lot but whilst the hotel took the time to send up some little petite cakes for my birthday I must say was not my best stay. We were upgraded to a deluxe suite but honestly I couldn't tell the difference between that and a standard. The breakfast (which I normally love) was a disappointing this time. Bacon overcooked, hash browns were only luke warm. but besides that the breakfast was still yummy. I'm disappointed that the Spa has now gone. would have been lovely to use considering the temp but the pool was so cold. I hope that look at replacing it. But I will be back for another stay still my go to hotel in Adelaide

We stayed at the Stamford Plaza Adelaide for 3 nights over the Australia Day weekend. The hotel is perfectly located to explore the city. Opposite the hotel entrance is the tram stop and Adelaide Railway Station. It's just a short walk to Rundle Mall and the nearby shops, cafes and restaurants. The OTR convenience store next door was very useful for us as we were out and about for much of the time, so was handy for grabbing snacks to take with us. The front desk staff were very helpful at check-in, sorting out a room mix up for us promptly. The concierge was incredibly helpful too, assisting us with information to help us find our way around in Adelaide. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. The in-room Wi-Fi was good and very handy. The lift was playing for some of our stay, however the staff assisted by providing use of the service lift during busy times. We didn't get chance to use the in-house restaurant as we were out on tours and exploring the city each day. We look forward to staying at the Stamford Plaza on a future trip to Adelaide, and maybe then have time to use the swimming pool and in-house restaurants. Overall a very comfortable stay in a great location.

What a great mini vacation. Great location. Friendly staff. Great amenities. Tram, bus, and train station directly in front of the hotel, as well as the casino. A quick stroll to Elder Park, Rundle Mall, and Hindley Street. The lift did play up during the stay, but the staff were quick to rectify and assist. Car parking was great, although check the size of your car as the area is low. The pool was extremely refreshing. A big shout out to two amazing employees. Linc was the most lovely gentleman. He was quick to assist. Very knowledgeable and welcoming. We were extremely happy to have him there for each of the days we stayed. We never felt like anything we asked was an inconvenience for him. Erica makes the best omelette I have ever had. Breakfast at TGs Cafe, highly recommend... and if Erica is making the eggs, ask for the Erica special! Her smiling face and positive attitude are infectious ! Both Erica and Linc are great assets to Stamford Adelaide! La Boca restaurant served lovely food, was a great meal. All in all, I couldn't fault a thing and will be back soon!

Stamford Plaza Adelaide is a charming classic that's thankfully getting a much-needed facelift. Situated in a perfect location, it's an ideal base for exploring the city, with everything from shopping to cultural attractions within easy reach. The rooms are generously sized, offering plenty of space to unwind. While they are undeniably tired, they're still clean, functional, and comfortable. We stayed on one of the older floors, but it's encouraging to know the hotel is upgrading one floor at a time. Once the refurbishments are complete, this will undoubtedly be one of Adelaide's standout stays. For now, despite its age, the hotel provides a great spot to call home while you explore Adelaide's charms. With its unbeatable location and promising updates on the way, it's worth considering for your visit.

Shaun was fantastic, I checked-in whilst being in a rush and had to leave my bags at the front desk. Shaun was hugely thoughtful and built my baby bouncer so I could put my baby in the bouncer as soon as I arrived back at the hotel 10/10 helpful. Massive thank you to him! He made this solo travelling new mum's life that bit easier!

The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. They were friendly and helpful in spite of mechanical issues with the lifts causing aggravation for some patrons. While some areas are in need of updating, the rooms are comfortable, clean and have all you need. The buffet breakfast was delicious. A great value hotel in a fabulous location to explore all that Adelaide city has to offer. Book direct for best offers.

Just completed a finve night stay and very much enjoyed it. Hotel reservations were very accommodating for my room request with a work desk and room service very prompt and friendly. Lifts were a problem on one day only but other than this, I couldn't fault the stay. Very well located!

Pros: Location, price. The check in process nearly broke me. Check in staff gave me 1 room instead of the 2 booked (finally 1 room on 12th floor and one room on 19th, not a big deal if it doesnt mean some of your kids are alone 7 floors away). Room cards not working for rooms and for elevator. Getting trapped in stairwell trying to get back to the check in desk to fix problems. No valet parking.......at the Stamford?!!! Big waits for assistance at the desk. Huge waits for elevators that might be powered by tiny unionised mice or something. Please get more staff, get a valet (your parking spaces only fit tiny european 2 seaters like a fiat or something equally obscure and stupid). I am sorry I was short with the manager who was pleasant and accommodating in the face of my exploding brain; he was clearly doing all he could with not much in the way of useful resources.

We spend a night in this venue on the way to Kangaroo Island, the venue in the center of the city is unfortunately old and needs a total make over, rooms are spacious, but old, we had an ongoing noise from the Air condition, maintenance in this hotel is an issue. Service was not the best at all, you had the feeling that Clients are not welcomed, or a disturbance to employees. Is more a money-making venue with no attraction or details. The venue is in the center of the city, that offers a lot to see and many attractive buildings, museums and modern designed buildings.

Recently I had to work in the CBD and chose to stay at the Stamford Plaza – what a great decision! The room was exactly what we needed, clean and well-appointed with a desk. There is a restaurant on site that we had the pleasure of dining at and the breakfast in morning was absolutely scrumptious with everything that you could want to eat for breakfast but the best was the omelette station where a chef will cook to order your own omelette - delicious!! There was live music on Friday night in the cocktail bar which was a fantastic way to end a busy week. But what made our staff perfect was the staff! From the lady who assisted us when we made the initial booking to everyone we encountered - front desk, cleaners, restaurant staff, cocktail lounge staff - the service cannot be faulted. Smiles and helpful attitudes were in abundance which contributed to our lovely stay. We can't recommend the Stamford enough – whether you need to stay in Adelaide for business or pleasure (we intend to come back for a staycation) we recommend staying at the Stamford Plaza very highly.

The shower floor was higher than the bathroom floor and the bathroom floor was higher than the bedroom floor So when having a shower u needed to put a rolled up towel at the shower access to stop the bathroom and bedroom floors from getting wet There was only 2 lifts in service and there was a conference being held there. It often took 30min to get a lift. Eventually people were going up in the lifts to come down.

Lovely hotel, with friendly vibe. Rooms clean and beds very comfortable for a great nights sleep. Centrally located, walking distance to trams and trains, as well as Rundle mall and restaurants galore close by. Would definitely stay again.

We had a few issues with Incorrect dates even though we rang and checked with the company and were told that the dates we wanted were correct. When we got there we were told that we should have been there the day before we explained all this to them and were told we could stay in the room for the second night but would have to pay for it so we ended up paying 2 nights and were only able to stay for 1 very unsatisfactory and there was no attempt to help in any way .

You are probably getting bored reading all those reviews about how the Stamford Hotel in Adelaide is showing its age and is due for major renovation. A bit dated, yes! Questionable 5-star rating, yes! Now let's look at the positives. Perfect location, with an easy walk to the Torrens River, the Adelaide Oval, opposite Parliament and the Governor General's House, tram stop to the Central Markets and Botanic Gardens (free) and Glenelg (fee) at your front door. The rooms are spacious, well appointed with spectacular views of the extensive parklands, river and distant hills (for rooms overlooking the Parliament building.) It also has an excellent Japanese restaurant, the Ginza Miyako, which we highly recommend, excellent food and service at a reasonable price. The buffet breakfast is also very extensive, and the hot breakfast options are both tasty and HOT (a rare feature in our extensive hot breakfast hotel experiences!) Adelaide is a beautiful, clean and well planned city, full of impressive old homes and buildings, so perhaps an ideally located hotel with comfortable rooms in a slightly dated hotel is just par for the historical course! Would we stay there again? Definitely, so HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

an excellent Beach front hotel, the staff were great and we felt really looked after! the hotel manager and front of house staff were really accommodating and the food was good. the place could do with a bit of newer furniture but with everything else, that's minor! will be back! ?

Clean room - bit of a 1970s set up so no power points to plug in my sleep apnoea machine - booked in late after a plane cancelation - ordered a late dinner over the app and had it confirmed, but 30 minutes later got a phone call to say that the kitchen was closed. Should have just gone to bed

This was a one night stay due to a flight cancellation. The room was spacious and comfortable, the bathroom very clean although on the small side, nice toiletries though. Breakfast was good, although the coffee from the machine was undrinkable and barista coffee was not included. I chose to pay for a coffee and it was good, but I think it should be included in the breakfast fee. Upon leaving, there was a disagreement over the account, which was not handled in a professional way and was quite unpleasant, in fact none of the staff were particularly friendly. This is not a bad hotel by any means, and the location is great, but I would not choose to stay here again.

I am trying to arrange a gift of champagne for a guest staying at the hotel. It is impossible to get through on the telephone to anyone that can assist. Each person will take a message and get someone to call. The last person was saying they need to find out if there is even champagne in the hotel. The latest is that there is no one in the hotel that is answering the phone.

Absolutely terrible hotel. Stayed for 3 nights and room was not serviced at all despite repeated requests. Water from my shower ran in a stream out onto the bathroom floor and I had to use towels to mop up the pond. Maximum of 2 lifts operated the whole time making wait times ludicrous. On day of checkout only 1 lift was working. Waited 45 mins for a lift then we (and other guests) had to get the cleaners to get us down in the service lift to avoid missing our flight. I have emailed the hotel twice and Stamford Australia once before posting any review to give them the opportunity to respond to my complaints. I have had nil response.

I love the Stamford Plaza in Adelaide. It caters for everyone but maintains its 5-star impressive service. Its location is perfect for those who like action and atmosphere. Great dining options are at your fingertips, and the casino is just across the road. It's a three minute walk to Rundle Mall which has every retailer you'll ever need. Staff are so lovely and friendly and nothing is too difficult. Breakfast options are varied and delicious, with a set price that is $10 cheaper if you book your breakfast there each day. We stayed for four days and breakfast was $25 each per day. An absolute bargain for all you can eat and drink. We have stayed at the Stamford Plaza twice now and would definitely return. Love it.

If I could give this place no stars I would. The lobby is out dated. As well as the service we received from the front desk when we checked it. No personality or warmth just like the lobby. There was only two working lifts, so getting to your room wasted have your time of your stay. The room fittings, eg desk and bath room like everything else was very dated. It seemed to be clean till we tried to get into bed and notice dry blood in a few a few spot on the sheets. Tried to call reception from the room phone but there was no way to ring any extension, called the duty managers number who rejected our call. Had to ring the hotel number directly still with no answer. Went down to reception and explained I had found blood on the sheets and was told the manager was “too busy”. I then asked the reception staff what the front desk number was, which I received a “I don't know the number”. We decided to head out to dinner and informed them that it was just to change the sheets and a room move was not required. After dinner we decided to head to the hotel bar for a drink. The bar once again very out dated like the rest of the hotel. The staff had no idea what she was doing, we asked for a “ Prosecco”, however, she poured us an aperol and sparkling wine. After we re ordered our drinks we sat down and witnessed more incompetence from the bar staff. Breakfast was average, however the made to order omelet was the only highlight. On check out we were informed by the staff that we will be charged for the 4 phone calls we made in an attempt to call reception about the bloody sheets. The charge was removed. The only positive experience was the concierge. I didn't get his name. Older gentleman. 5 star service from the only one who cared about his guest. Will not go back there and will not be recommending this to anyone I know. Piss poor!!!

So, this hotel is billed as 5 stars. However, it's really not. On the plus side it's in an excellent location and the reception staff are great. Conversley, whilst the rooms are spacious, the bathroom was really dated. It was a 'climb in the bath' shower, which is not ideal as you get a bit older. Housekeeping is hit and miss (one day they changed the towels but left the bed unmade), and our tea and coffee were never replenished in 3 days. Breakfast was a bit rubbish (one very slow coffee machine) with nothing particularly tasty. Roof too pool is a plus.

So disappointing, stayed in Junior Spa Suite and will never stay there again. Calls to reception, in room dining & house keeping went unanswered. Very slow to respond lo any requests. Entry door to room jammed & hard to open. Tap came off in spa. Only 1 dressing gown. No forks in room. No extra pillows/bedding for pull out bed. No valet parking

The service and politeness was as good as I have ever received at a hotel Link went out of his way to assist us and arrange activities that may be of interest to the recommendation for restruant was perfect. He even went and booked it for us. Made our stay exceptional

I was booked in for three nights, commencing 29th July 2024. I stayed for one night and had to rush home as my mother-in-law had just been placed into palliative care on the morning of 30th July. I had already packed my bag and had to remove it from the room when I returned to the room late in the morning on the 30th. I checked out via the front desk, explaining the situation, and the lovely gentleman said he couldn't do anything at the moment and would pass it through to the back office for them to process a refund of at least one night. Lo and behold, after nearly two months of arguing back and forth with Rocket Travel and Stamford Plaza Adelaide, they deny I left early and stayed the full three nights. " that there is no indicate on their end that the guest early out, and guest utilized the 3 nights stayed at the hotel." I've submitted Uber receipts and a boarding pass and given them specific times to check their CCTV and even room system access. I have even offered a death certificate. Now I am still arguing for a full tax invoice. Never ever again, absolutely disgusted with the service and lies and the run around from both Rocket Travel (via Virgin Australia) and Stamford Plaza.

Not sure what I paid for? $244 for outdated room with the hardest beds we have ever slept in. The floor would have been more comfortable. Need to fly out early morning and have barely slept. Not 5 Stars I've slept in better 3 star hotels. I've said here a few times it's very hit and miss. After this experience we won't be coming back,

Location is good city center close to casino, hotels rooms with city view are like facing the high rise concrete buildings only, no view at all. I was having the perception that I would get to see the city but could not. Tv's are Smart TV but not enough channels so need to adjust. Check in process was quite decent, politely handled by an Asian guy named Himanshu, quite helpful with local information, he guided me about the city. AC is fine but I had to call front desk to fix it and it was done but it took time for temperature to get normal. Over all good experience I had.

Great service and food. Location in Adelaide is perfect and close to transport. The bed was fantastic, not two singles wacked together like some places. Room services was great and delicious and the concierge went above and beyond to help. Highly recommend.

The hotel is wonderful but the parking is very tight.. I'm unsure if I can get out.. the staff are very helpful. Linc gave great service and helped with a rude driver out the front. This sentence is here to meet the minimum review length requirement.

My partner and I had an amazing experience at this hotel, largely due to Linc's outstanding service. From the moment we arrived, Linc went above and beyond, ensuring our stay was perfect with thoughtful gestures and a warm smile. Their attention to detail and genuine care made our visit truly special. If you're looking for top-notch service, ask for Linc – he made our stay unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Honestly typical of inexperienced hiring/HR. We have stayed there with business for many years with an average spend per year into the several thousands. Food and food offering was deplorable. We understand its a hard industry to get good staff but we politely asked to speak to the executive chef ;ike we have many times and not to complain. The lovely waitress informed we don't have an executive chef we do it different here. We stay at many hotels globally and having supposedly high end hotel without an executive chef is like having a ship without captain and it showed. So sadly trying to save a few $ you have lost our business we struck a deal with another hotel and sadly we will be informing all our partners and stakeholders to do the same. No wonder talented Chefs are leaving industry in droves bit of a joke to be honest.

I recently stayed one night at Stamford Plaza, and I couldn't have been more impressed with my experience. The room on the 17th floor was modern, offering a perfect blend of comfort and style. The thoughtful design and amenities made for a relaxing stay, and the bed was especially comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The breakfast selection was another highlight, with a wide variety of delicious options catering to all tastes. The location is also superb, placing me right in the heart of the city with easy access to key attractions. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and friendly staff.

This hotels needs a lot to bring it into this century. The counter staff on afternoon shift need to look for a job they enjoy. The breakfast is just average. The bar area is a dark old themed room. The rooms are dated and need to huge makeover. I wouldn't recommend this venue as there are plenty of choices within walking distance. For an inner city hotel it needs some love.

I travelled with 6 other couples for a weekend away to attend a competition in Adelaide. We all arrived at 1pm, and I was told my room would be ready by 2pm. No problems, we went for a walk, got some lunch and returned at 2pm. At 330pm I was still waiting for my room whereas all my other friends had received their rooms earlier, some were even ready when we arrived at 1pm. When I complained I was told the only thing the manager could do was downgrade my room! An offer of a complimentary coffee or a drink at the bar would have at least made the time go faster.... I finally received my keys at 345, almost 2 hours past the time I expected. Pros Great location near Rundle Mall and tram, botanical garden,etc.. Comfortable bed Quiet on upper floors Beautiful outlook Adjustable heating/cooling Nice toiletries in room Spacious room (junior suite) Free water Quick elevators Cafe on site Cons Long wait for room to be ready Coffee in cafe not great (nor is service) Tiny bathroom (and quite dated) Did not allocate room credits as promised Additionally, I opted for the "green friendly" option not to have my room made up each day during my stay (The Stamford promises a $10 room credit each day you opt for this). I planned to use this money to off set my morning coffee from their cafe however having just checked my credit card this has not happened and I did not receive the credits and have been charged for my coffees. I really feel like Stamford needs to get their act together a little more than it has.

Hotel is clean and quiet, very easy checkin and checkout! Bed is great and Aman in the concierge is amazing! So nice and understanding! Would definitely recommend! He is also very helpful! The location is very good, super close to Rundle mall and Adelaide oval!

The shower was cold! Not good at 4.30am in the morning. The bed was hard. The hotel and the rooms look old. Even the lifts sound old. Won't stay here again. Car parking was onsite and very tight. Customer service was good, they carried our bags up to our room.

Dirty rooms no amenities.. unhelpful staff.. would not recommend or stay here again. Tried to get help during the stay.. but nothing.. we ended up leaving to go to another hotel

Great Location for illuminate Adelaide, free tram to Botanic Gardens, great views of Adelaide Rlway Station, parliament house & govt house.

Stayed for 3 night business trip, very conveniently located near the square and close to Rundle mall and lots of places to eat and drink nearby. Service friendly and efficient, the room was great - large and very comfortable. Good gym with modern equipment - treadmills, elliptical, bikes and rowing machine. Enjoyed and would stay again. The bar needs an update though

On arrival, reception was okay. Self parking was terrible. Parked at the hotel arranged wilson Park. Very tight parking spaces. Not meant for average sized cars or larger. Car park is a bit far as well. Rooms were clean. Carpets on the corridors were smelly and had torn edges. On third day of our stay we experienced racial profiling by one of their concierge guys. Were treated like unwanted guests.

Update the rooms and fix the cracking of the rooms and the scuff marks. Bathroom needs serious work as it was gross.

The hotel was in a great location and the room was great. The bed was amazingly comfy but the shower was poor pressure which was a let down after a long night partying. But overall was great. Had buffet breakfast in the morning. Was such a good range of food and was so yummy.

Stamford Plaza is in desperate need for a revamp. The service from the staff that were there was ok but you can see by the lack of staff at check-in and check-out that they don't want to spend any money. The decor is out-dated, the operation of the lifts (what was working) is incredibly slow with line-ups each time. The bed wasn't comfortable and the lights in our room didn't work and needed to be fixed, which did happen. Overall, not a good experience.

We choose Stamford for its location near Adelaide Oval, to go to the football. The package (breakfast, $50 credit, car parking) was ex value.

Great centric location, excellent service and general attention, highly recommended. My wife and I had a wonderful time at Stamford Plaza, and we'll certainly return in our next tour.

Room was clean and well maintained, great service and the concierge was outstanding, Linc was helpful and went above and beyond to help my injured husband and myself to get to our room, making sure our car was close by when the car parks were full

A grand old building that needs a facelift. The rooms are functional with room to spread out with a study desk, arm chair and plenty of space for luggage and clothing. The en-suite is dated and dare I say downright shabby. The tiling in the shower recess is dirty and needs replacing as do some of the tiles that have large cracks in them. The space is adequate for one person, but two would find it a squeeze. The tv is probably old and may need replacing as the stream kept skipping and reminded me of the days of dodgy DVDs from Bali. I liked the option to skip room cleaning to earn a $10 credit, but the day I did ask for a room clean I think the vacuum cleaner was broken as the floor was untouched and there was a small amount of crumbs, dirt and day to day debris that needed cleaning up. The concierge was helpful, polite and professional. The other staff I encountered were all polite and helpful. I didn't take up the breakfast buffet so cannot comment, but the Caesar Salad from room service was superb!!

The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was really good, with lots of choices available. The room was missing a USB charging port which was a little disappointing and no face washer was provided to wash with.

Great location.Carparking is horrible. Buffet breakfast is well worth the money. Lovely staff. Rooms are a little tired. Good value for money.

Had a room right next to lift shaft that kept me awake all night after asking for a quite room as I was there for work, have stayed here a number of times but this will be the last time. Quality of the food was also average and reception staff had very little care factor or personality.

Great friendly service , very professional very clean and tidy and easy to find and central to everything

The Stamford Adelaide Plaza promotes itself as a self-rated five star hotel on its website which is far from reality. This hotel is more like a three star hotel. The hotel hallways have old and dirty carpet with old timber features on the walls and around doors. Everything looks old. We stayed in a Deluxe City King room on a higher floor. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The glass desk was filthy with finger prints and smudges. The airconditioning unit was loud. Some of the bathroom tiles were damaged. The light in the cupboard wouldn't switch off when the doors were closed. We eventually had to get out of bed and manually switch the cupboard light off. The location of this hotel is great but again, it needs updating to make it look and feel modern. There are plenty of other hotels in the Adelaide CBD with more modern offerings at similar price points.

Was an amazing visit. Rooms very tidy, staff were very helpful especially when we have a big vehicle to park. Parking ticket made it a bit of a hassle as it didn't print right and the front desk didn't think I was parked in the right place, but they were friendly and very helpful about it. Will definitely be staying again in the near future 10/10

was all good until the room next door starting playing doof doof music till 6am sunday morning. usually stay at intercontinental thought i would give stamford a go

Not good and not bad. There are some certain facilities that they need to put attention. Specially TV services. Also, A/C played time to time.

My daughter and I stayed in the park view twin which did not disappoint. Wonderful service from Linc the moment we arrived which was late at night. Rooms well appointed, love the environmental option for room servicing. All staff provided an exceptional experience. Impressed that Linc recognized us and just as great service the following day.

if the poor reception doesnt put you off the poor service and facilities will, bathrooms are ordinary and the place especially the elevators are noisey

i wish we stayed somewhere else. i got engaged at the standford in the city 25 years ago and married at the one at Glenelg. reall disappointed it has gone down hill.

Great location close to everything required for business or pleasure. the pub a 3 minute walk down the hill is great to socialize and great feed and atmosphere also. Railway station across the road and the casino directly opposite.

Room 1901 Is next to the lifts and next to a motor room. The noise all night was stupid. Got about 2 hrs sleep. Never again

At the Stamford Plaza in the Junior suite room. It's very tired and could use a refurbishment. The spa took 1 hour to fill due to low pressure. There is a lowhum in the room so I needed to wear earplugs. There is no power outlet near the bed so I cannot have my phone nearby during the night while it charges. The TV doesn't allow Bluetooth connection so was unable to access my streaming services. Breakfast is $1 so was good value. Selection was average but well cooked. Paid extra for Barista coffee. Probably won't return.

From the moment we walked in the service was excellent!! Modern clean room with great view and very peaceful. Great on AFL game day. Will definitely stay again.

Unfortunately I did not find the Stamford at the level I hoped. The rooms were tired and definitely not at a standard I would expect for the price per room. The hotel seemed under staffed and not as modern, luxurious and clean as others I have stayed at in Adelaide.

Great position. Surrounded by cafes and restaurants. Mall just around the corner. Free trams out front. Short walk to State Library, Botanical Gardens. Great position to explore from.

Reasonable price, good food options near by and most places walkable. Recommend staying here if heading to the footy as it's central to everything else

Would not recommend this hotel due to not being able to supply the accommodation that was booked back in February for 3 rooms. One with an adjoining door to be near our grandchildren, this was explicitly requested when the accommodation as booked in February. My husband & I were travelling from WA & my daughters family travelling 8 hours in SA to be together for 2 days. We had to be shift from one floor to another after booking in because the Hotel had sold my daughters pre-booked rooms with the adjoining room to another client. Despite checking 4 times (twice at the time of booking & twice on arrival at the hotel) and being advised that YES we had an adjoining room with all 3 rooms side by side this wasn't the case. Not at all happy with the service that we received.

The car parking facilities are terrible, super tight and we were not told about a ticket for reduced price as we were hotel guests! Scratched rims on car trying to just get in the car park very dissatisfied. Room was very dated, but I guess if you just want a bed it does the job

We had a problem with room noise and Linc organised another room without any fuss or delay. Extremely helpful and great service. Thanks Linc - fantastic service that made a big difference for us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Linc, the concierge made the visit very welcoming and comfortable at the beginning and the end of our stay. He was extremely helpful and accommodating, while also being down to earth and had a laugh with us. You need more of him. He went above and beyond for us.

Amazing staff, extremely helpful and super clean rooms. Enjoyed our stay and will stay again in the future.

Vanessa (Front Desk) and Linc (Concierge) were very friendly and made what was a special occasion for us, that little bit more fantastic. They were so helpful and generous when looking after us. Our room had a wonderful view and we liked being able to open the window for some fresh air. We ordered room service from the Taste of Singapore menu and it was delicious. We had the signature curry puffs, the chicken & beef satay skewers and the Nasi Goreng. Yum! The bed and the pillows were really comfortable to sleep on. We will definitely be back.

First time staying here in 10 years. We had a park view room but since the last time we stayed here, a skyscraper has been built opposite the hotel which blocks the view of the river and Adelaide Oval. We could still glimpse the parkland around government house though. This is still a nice hotel in a terrific location, but it lacks some conveniences that are normally found in lesser hotels nowadays. We paid for and expected a deluxe room but it is a misnomer. There is no nespresso machine in the room and the bath towels are tiny, as is the bathroom itself, which makes it difficult to manoeuvre around if two people are in there at the same time. Hotels need to continually improve what they offer their guests, not just rest on their laurels. Generally speaking, the room could do with a freshen up; the window latch was almost falling off, the window coverings had broken or missing clips, the bottom of the bathroom door was chipped etc. All minor stuff, but still. That said, the room was large, the bed was extremely comfortable, and the room was very dark for sleeping, which is unusual but welcome. This hotel will still be high on our shortlist for future visits to Adelaide.

enjoyed our visit and breakfast experience while staying at the Stanford Plaza. The location is perfect when attending any entertainment in the CBD. Ideal location for a little retail therapy also.

Great location and facilities despite being an older motel. Room service and mini bar ridiculously expensive though so be warned

Check in process took over half an hour, only 2 check in assistants. Foyer was full to the brim with people waiting. Room was nice enough & clean. I'm rating poor on service purely based on the check in. Staff were friendly & helpful.

Room was very clean. Location is great but could hear noisy people in the street during the night. Meals were great. Would stay there again.

Great location. It is in the heart of the city. So close to shops, transport, restaurants. Clean hotel and clean rooms. Rooms are big and spacious.

This hotel has everything you need. It's well located and it's attractively priced. The suite we stayed in had a recently refreshed bathroom, but the general air of the hotel is that it's time to recarpet and repaint. As long as you're not inviting anyone back to your room to impress them, this hotel is a good choice for a couple of days in downtown Adelaide.

Overall the stay is ok but the breakfast buffet is really bad @ $35 and the sausages are cold and hard with limited selection of food. I was expecting something better at $35. If you want good food and coffee at available price, go for Adelaide Central Market.

We stayed here as part of a Murray Princess package. Staff were efficient and friendly and the rooms were spacious and clean and the central location is a big plus.

Great location but dated rooms and food was average but good for short stays for conferences………..,,…

Close to transport options, cafe's/restaurants and within easy walking distance to Rundle Mall for shopping.

The dirtiest hotel I've ever stayed at from dirty carpets to sheets that still have me and my boyfriend itchy we both had to sleep fully clothed and not under the blankets. The doors on our floor look like they've all been broken into you also don't need a key card to use the lift the street the hotel was located on felt so unsafe and there was people passed out on the floor outside our hotel clearly on drugs. How this is meant to be a 5 star is beyond me, this is hotel is a 2 star at most! We could not get out of there quick enough as we could not sleep thankfully our next air bnb let us check in early. You are better off staying in a hostel it would be cleaner! Stay clear of Stamford plaza Adelaide

From check-in to check-out and everything in-between was superb. Beds and pillows were comfortable, and a great night sleep was had. The buffet breakfast was a winner with fresh food and lots of it. My two boys (8 and 11) loved it.

We very much enjoyed our stay and Madhi at the check in desk was very helpful with getting us sorted

Trams, trains, buses, restaurants & shops all just minutes away. Lovely room & staff, comfortable bed, great breakfast, I have nothing negative to say at all.

As always, staying here is great. Staff friendliness, location and the breakfast are fantastic. Will stay again.

Hotel staff very helpful and sorted all my issues and I am booked in again on the 10/05/24 and will see if the change is going to happen as explained by the front desk clerk when I checked out.

Very close to everything in the city. Easy self parking. Good food at the adjoining restaurant and good breakfast buffet.

Convenient location for convention centre, comfortable and decent sized rooms, staff are friendly. Breakfast buffet was limited in options and everything was lukewarm - coffee machine didn't work 2 days I was there. I wouldn't opt in for that option. Room service dinners were nice.

Very prompt and helpful Very welcoming and greeted us on arrival and Collected luggage from taxi They were willing to store our luggage and also then was able to checkin early Received a Free drink Friendly and asked what we were visiting for and then was able to order our taxi for us to go to airport.

Arrived early on the day of check-in, Linc at the concierge was very helpful with getting me into a room much earlier than the check in time so I could head out to the business conference. The room was clean and comfortable, and there wasnt any noise at night so was able to get a peaceful rest.

Was excited to stay with the Stamford but when we arrived it was the least welcoming hotel experience and the room was very outdated with electrical issues with lighting.

Despite being described as 'luxury' on their website, this hotel is anything but. The room was functional but extremely dated. The bathroom door didn't stay closed, the toilet did not fully flush no matter how long you held the button down for, the TV struggled to turn on and when it did, the audio and picture did no sync up. While this hotel has housekeeping, our room was not properly cleaned when they came. In terms of service, it was non-existent. The staff member conducting check-in process made no effort to provide us with any details of the hotel such us information on the pool, where breakfast was or what we did with parking. She at least told us our room number which we later found out isn't guaranteed after running into a couple in the elevator who was sent away without being told where to find it. Breakfast was fine but not worth the money. The fresh made omelettes was a highlight but that was about all. The pastries were stale and the fruit was rubbery. For my next trip to Adelaide, I will stay elsewhere.

I have stayed at the Stamford Plaza on several occasions for the ANZAC Dawn Service and March. It is very convenient for this event. Our room was clean, tidy and fairly quiet. Only a couple of small things - the bathroom fan was on all the time instead of being on only when it was switched on and the standard lamp didn't work at all. All the staff we came in contact with were very helpful. As hubby uses a walking frame, Linc, the concierge was extremely helpful, even parking our car in the laneway, as we weren't going to be using it for 2 days. He assisted in getting our luggage to and from our room and retrieved our car when we were ready to leave. We had also hired 2 mobility scooters which were stored in the concierge area for us to use as needed. At all times we found Linc to be very helpful and a charming gentleman at all times. Thanks Stamford Plaza for another great stay. I'll be back again in 2025 for the ANZAC day events. Linc I hope you will still be there too!

We stayed in a wonderfully roomy 1 bedroom executive suite and felt like we were spoilt. The manager was attentive to us and Linc went above and beyond for my family. If we had an issue he set us up with something better. He is a very effective member of staff who knows what it means for a family to travel interstate. He and his staff made our stay sooo enjoyable and we felt at ease. The beds are super comfy. Pillows, bedding and spa was fantastic. Pool and gym were a hit and we loved having the bistro downstairs. Can't thank the team enough and we look forward to staying again.

First and foremost, the greeting we received by Linc before we had even entered the front door was sensational. My wife felt so special and I was extremely impressed with our warm welcoming from Linc. He was happy that we were staying at Stamford Plaza in Adelaide. First impressions really count and to have a staff member at the front of the hotel that is happy to see you arrive is fantastic. Linc was extremely knowledgeable about all the facilities… car parking, gym, pool, on-site restaurants, local wines, best times to head down for breakfast, nearby attractions. Linc had loaded all of our luggage neatly and gently on the trolley and even opened the lift for us once we had checked in. There was nothing more he could have done for us! Definitely recommend the Stamford Plaza, Adelaide and we will definitely be back again!! Haven't been here more than an hour so far, I can't really comment much further yet, though the rooms extremely spacious. The layout is very well designed and classy. Super comfortable bedding, cosy pillows and extremely classy.

Great place. Great location. Beautifully appointed rooms and so convenient with the (free) inner circle tram and central train station at your door step. Most comfortable bed. We were impressed with the quiet air con and the fact you could open the window for fresh air. Beautiful cafe with buffet breakfast at $35 per head. Welcoming staff...well priced. Simply cannot fault this hotel. Highly recommend.

The room is large with a king-size bed, a beautiful view from my window. The concierge, Linc, was exceptionally helpful, providing me with a wheelchair to use as I had injured my knee. The staff are kind and friendly. The breakfast was delicious with a full buffet of delicious breakfast food to choose from.

We attended for our 10th Wedding anniversary and the staff made the most difference to our stay. Linc as Concierge was amazing! He remembered us each day, provided helpful recommendations, and nothing was too much trouble. My husband surprised me with a dozen long stem roses in our room upon our return from dinner and the staff were only too happy to help facilitate the surprise. The bed was very comfortable, the room and hotel was clean and well presented. Its starting to feel a little dated, but we had a comfortable and pleasant stay. The spa is a very good size for 2ppl to relax and talk over champagne and strawberries. We'll be back in the future.

The staff are professional and ready to help you with any inquiries you have. The location is a brief but beautiful walk away from the State Library, the South Australian Museum, and the Adelaide Art Gallery. Your walk will take you past some breathtaking buildings.

Poor experience. Booked a junior suite for two adults and a child and were expected to share a King size bed. The fridge did not work, we had to get a replacement. The water pressure is non-existent. The spa bath on/off button only works 90% of the time. The carpets have rips. House keeping did not come until after 4pm and even then we had to ring the front desk. Tiles in the bathroom were cracked. No power points anywhere near the bed. Antiquated and not in a good way.... only plus is the location. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Great location, top Japanese restaurant, the macha crème brûlée is beautiful & delicious. the concierge Linc is super helpful & very knowledgeable! All of the staff make it really feel like a home away from home. The only issue I had was with the stiff sheets & uncomfortable pillows.

Stayed for AFL gather round and as expected prices were double what they are for most other 3 nights stays in Adelaide on a different weekend. As I've just checked. The location is ideal but the place and furnishings were very dated including ripped and torn leather lounges in lift lobby on our floor, which is no big deal but just shows how dated and tired the place is. We didn't eat there but on check out they tried to hit me up for 4 breakfasts(seems you don't have to sign for that albeit you should have to). Had to reconfirm 3 times that we didn't eat there and had breakfast out for all 3 days as there are a variety of cafes in nearby Hindley St that are pretty good. Lifts are very slow and the car parking is an absolute lottery. Very tight, very low and security with ingress and egress is almost non existent. I paid for 3 days parking but could have paid for none given the process that currently exists. Room itself was just ok and somewhere for you to put your head as such, but some better options available in my view. One plus is the hotel adjoins La Boca restaurant which is worth a visit. Food was pretty good there. Meat eaters paradise. Time for the Stamford to spend some serious money on refurbishment. Not much better than 3 star in my view when they advertise and charge at 4-5 star.

It's a decent hotel - just not worth the money and not 5-star. Below Stamford Plaza standards in my opinion. I splurged on this hotel as a treat for myself and was underwhelmed Staff were good. My room was fairly big, decent bathroom. I liked the blackout curtains. Could have been a bit better appointed though - a bit lacking in furnishing and overall perception of luxury The hotel is a bit tired and dated. Lifts were super slow. Pool closed for maintenance. Breakfast only okay

After a seven hour drive from regional Victoria it was wonderful to be greeted by the extremely polite and friendly concierge, Linc. After assisting with parking and advising on how to make the most of our trip, he also provided complimentary drinks vouchers and wished me a happy birthday ( the purpose of the visit). Thanks Linc for a wonderful first, and lasting, impression.

Our stay at the Stamford was very good. The location was central and the room was comfortable. We were especially delighted with the service from Garry at the concierge. Garry was the first person to greet us courteously on arrival. He helped us with our bags and gave us local restaurant suggestions. The Stamford should be so happy with Garry as he is the epitome of excellent service. The other staff members were also professional but didnt have Garry natural flair with the people. I believe Garry would be so good at the reception

Check in was seamless and all the amenities and requirements are right there- free wifi, shower cap, toiletries, iron etc. The lifts are slow and there is a damp mouldy smell to the bed linen. Aircon turns off when there is no movement, and so its smelly and stuffy when you wake up in the night (get up, wake the sensors and the aircon returns). Room service food was lackluster- a colleague opted for ubereats after the first night, but staff were friendly an timely. Shower was great- hot and spacious with good pressure.

A bottle Sauvignon Blanc after a long hot drive and thoroughly enjoyed an evening in the Japanese restaurant. Inner city is very convenient and quality taxi service plentiful. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and exceptionally helpful. The concierge, Linc, went out of his way to ensure our car was securely parked, and upon departure he escorted us to the vehicle, loaded the luggage and helped us exit efficiently. We drove in from the bush, via RM Williams store (Rita still there after 43 years) and weren't familiar inner city, so navigating Stamford's entrance was a bit stressful but the staff were enormously helpful. The room was clean, well designed and comfortable.

I had stayed with family for a wedding. We were happy with our stay overall but would like to thank the evening mgr Ujen & concierge Aman for speedy checking the door card reader when I thought had lost my jewelry purse. Thankfully it was found but their speed to check who entered the room is commendable.

We stayed for 4 nights & had a fantastic stay. Linc was very helpful with whatever we needed. Breakfast service was fantastic as well. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. It was the perfect location with public transport close by, for a quick trip to Glenelg. Walking distance across the river to the oval for the concert we attended.

The big plus for this hotel is its location with easy access to trams and trains. Also the bed was comfortable (I'm trying to begin on a positive note.) The downsides? There are quite a few I'm afraid. To begin with, parking is a hassle. You drive yourself to a multi-storey carpark in Hindley St, after paying $30 to the hotel and receiving a barcode that (theoretically) allows you to exit upon your departure. In my case, the barcode didn't register so I had to use my credit card to get out. Hopefully the hotel will reimburse me for this. I was also surprised to see no streaming services on the TV in my room. Another issue is the breakfast which I would describe as average. For example, there were just two bread choices - sliced wholemeal or sliced white. There was no sourdough or rye or other artisan breads that many hotels offer as a matter of course. Nearby was the the self-serve tea-making machine which some people struggled to operate. One elderly gentleman ended up pouring hot water everywhere and I watched another man give up altogether and order coffee from the barista. (An alert staff member would have been able to help.) Now, if you eat meat, you may be very pleased with the endless supply of bacon and sausages on offer but as a vegetarian, I felt that there was, overall, little value for money. In the UK, it is common for B&B's to offer vegetarian sausages as an option and this would have made my day! Yes, if I'd wanted something hot, I could have had mushrooms and tomatoes and a lot of people opted for a freshly-cooked omelette. I bypassed this option as I'm reluctant to eat eggs from caged birds and there was no indication that the eggs were free-range. In addition, although I was travelling solo, I paid for two breakfasts both mornings because there was no other option when I booked online. So ... some fresh fruit and toast cost me, from memory, $140. However, these issues pale in comparison to the ... OMG ... the mural along the wall beside the swimming pool. Seriously? In 2024?? If you are a woman - be warned! One illustration shows a man ogling a 'well-endowed' woman in a bikini; another man appears to be harassing a woman by tugging at her towel. (She looks horrified). And if you have a weight issue you might be alarmed by the (supposedly humorous) portrayal of an obese man gorging himself on massive quantities of junk food. This particular image is also obscene but I won't go into that. Management!! Please consider the messages this puerile artwork sends to women, to children and to people struggling with their weight. These poor souls may already be feeling self-conscious in their bathers. So ... having said all that - this hotel is in a great location and the beds are comfortable but I won't be back!

Location is fantastic as Adelaide oval and Rundle Mall are both easy walking distance. Parking is available at the motel. Linc at reception was amazing as he was friendly, efficient and made you feel very welcome. Thankyou we will stay again

A very good experience. The Concierge (Linc and colleagues) and Front Desk staff were excellent and dealt with external factors (road/Carpark closures) effectively and efficiently. The updates recently implemented in the room are evident, and good.
