Had booked in at Adelaide Country Comfort which we've stayed in numerous times before. Upon arriving at reception told we'd be upgraded to the Grand Chifley. Room had two double beds, very clean but felt very 'closed in' mainly due to huge wall outside window, so would have preferred unit style room we had originally booked. Reception staff were very...

Stayed here 3 nights. The room had recently been refurbished and it showed. It was extremely comfortable with an efficient air conditioner, essential in the heat wave in Jan 2012 - up to 42C on some days! The housekeeping was faultless, the rooms cleaned beautifully every morning. It was just South of city centre but a few minutes walk to... More

We were very happy with our stayhere but were very surprised that there was no pool. We booked this holiday as a mystery hotel via lastminute.com.au . If we knew it did not have a pool we would not have booked here when we knew how hot it gets at this time of year. Other than that the level of... More

Stayed here for just one night on the way to a flight. Was happy with our stay. Was cheap in comparison to other accommodation so was happy with what we got. Ordered room service which was tasty. Free parking which is always a plus. Would stay here again as a stop-over. More

We stayed at this hotel for two nights before flying to Cairns. Honestly, we were very unimpressed by the hotel. This hotel is advertised like a Porsche but turns out to be a very cheap Hyundai in reality. Why? Our room contained very old furniture and a terrible, dirty balcony. The balcony door was very loose and due to the... More

Overall I would say that, for the price , this is not bad. It is now an old hotel but clearly attempts have been made to renovate and renew. It is certainly clean, with an outstanding shower and comfortable bed. Restaurant food was very good and staff service and attention was excellent. Also reasonably priced. A few minor issues though... More
