"Really nice hotel and very reasonably priced. The location is great, with local shops and some lovely little cafés within easy walking distance. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and the room was comfortable, making for a really pleasant stay. One thing to note is that the nearby cafés don’t open until around 9am, and the hotel restaurant doesn’t serve breakfast, so this is worth keeping in mind if you like an early breakfast. I didn’t eat at the restaurant, but the meals I saw coming...

Stamford Plaza Adelaide

8/10 Good

"Good hotel starting to feel a little tired, suggesting that it’s now a little over priced for what it is"

Hotel Panorama

8/10 Good

"Great Hotel, friendly staff, comfy rooms. However, even after knowing that there were 3 guests staying, we were only provided with 2 X Face washers every single day. So had to ask them everytime to supply an extra Face washer. To top it off, housekeeping staff kept putting dirty mugs and glasses back in the room for us to reuse the next day. Even confirmed with Reception that they were meant to be providing clean ones each day. Once notified, they replace them but why would you put dirty ones back in the first place! Other than these two issues, had a very relaxing time."
