“fresh air, views and self regulated room temperatures”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2012

This is my 'local' as it is the usual accommodation choice we make when driving to Adelaide. We have stayed in 'flasher' accommodation but this one we always come back to, mostly for the parking!! It has open air car parking which requires you simply to drive in and find a park. Simple. They have even let us leave our... More

“Very good hotel for all purposes”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 May 2012

I spent 5 days at this hotel and really enjoyed the experience. One room service meal - unexpectedly good pizza! The room layout is excellent, with a well-designed bathroom, adequate coffee facilities and good hanging space for clothes. I had enough drawer space for my clothes, and the room service was immaculate. For those who need it, there is more... More

“Clean and Modern, but.....”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 April 2012

We stayed here on two different nights during a trip back to Adelaide. The first night was great - someone had booked us a room on wotif as a gift (and paid a bit more than they should have), the guy at reception upgraded us from two doubles to a queen and even gave us a late check out. Breakfast... More

Dear bbano55 Thankyou for the review on your recent stay. Please accept our belated apology for the fire alarm disturbing your stay. Announcements were made over the Fire System PA on the morning, however a personal acknowledgement on checkout certainly would have also been appropriate. The Front Office Manager has been asked to address this with his staff for future... More

It was our first time to Adelaide and I had no idea which hotel to book. This one is in South Terrace and is about a 5-10 minute walk to the tram station. The hotel its self is lovely. Looks like it has been refurbished and our room had lovely views and was spacious. I was disappointed with the size... More

Contrary to many other comments on web, I stayed in the Grand Chifley and feeling it is a pleasant stay after all. First impression is really not very good as it looks like a very old building from outside. But once I arrived at the lobby, things are completely different. It seems to me that they have just done their... More

“Could have been worse!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 April 2012

The room we stayed in was clean overall with a clean bathroom also. However, the air conditioners need upgrading due to their musty smell when switched on. The sliding door to the balcony was hard to open. I was told before I booked that 20 standard rooms were still available so why were we put in a room with old... More
