Room spotless, excellent location, room service prompt and yummy. Organised wakeup call and taxi without a hitch (I know this should be standard but many places can let you down.) Reasonably priced considering weekend of TDU and proximity to everything.

We are priority members and have stayed at the Intercontinental in Bali, Bangkok, Fiji, Sydney and Manilla in the last two years. The adelaide property is not up to the usual 5 star standards. The buliding and decor is very dated and the rooms small. When we commented to the hotel manager that the club breakfast was below par ( very limited selection and cold ! ) and could we have breakfast in the downstairs buffet as an alternative, we were told that this wasnt possible !. The desk manager also commented that she has stayed in other Intercontinental properties and that we couldnt expect the same level of service in Adelaide !.

This was our first negative experience at an Intercontinental hotel.

Stayed for business mostly & to attend the TDU and visit family. Need to have car as Adelaide is best viewed by getting out & about. The city itself is ordinary but the bonus from this hotel is u can walk along the river to things like the zoo etc & into central markets & Chinatown for good eating options. Room and beds so comfortable & pool very nice. Bit disappointed with food from room service but I prefer to eat out. Would have enjoyed an option of steamed vegetables as that's what I always miss when travelling.

We were in town for a friend's wedding and the intercontinental was the hotel they had suggested guests should stay in. I looked at the website and wasn't particularly impressed but once we arrived we were very impressed with both the service, the cleanliness and the general condition of the hotel. Often I do not like these big hotels, especially not their food (particularly breakfast) but we were pleasantly surprised in all aspects of our stay. Well done intercontinental!
We particularly liked that there was a pillow menu for those of us with sensitive necks/backs!
