Stamford Plaza Adelaide

"I'll preface this by saying that I don't normally leave reviews, but have to on this occasion. The rooms were a 4/5, clean and tidy as we expected. 5/5 to the wonderful chef who greeted us each morning during our buffet breakfast and was a ray of sunshine. On the first morning, Sharon (I believe this is her name) approached us and welcomed us to breakfast, asked us about our stay, talked us through the buffet options and even made recommendations. She highly recommended the omelette, which she cooked for us the next day and I can confirm it was amazing 10/10. Sharon was very observant throughout service and made sure to greet guests as well as to say goodbye as they were leaving. She even recognised returning guests and seemed excited to have them return. Her positivity and enthusiasm was contagious! Breakfast time is obviously a very busy time for a chef, but Sharon made every request seem easy and every guest feel valued which is a testament to her professionalism. Throughout a hotel experience, it's the little things that count and Sharon went above and beyond which was the highlight of our stay. Hats off to the chef!"

"Great location, everything was in walking distance. The only disappointing thing was that the aircon had a sensor attached to it, so when sleeping, it was automatically turn off when it didn’t sense movement, and the room would get sticking hot. We opened the window but it didn’t help very much. I understand saving electricity is good but the sleep wasn’t great."

"Fantastic location, great service and breakfast a must. Only negative toilet seat didn't fit the toilet and only one lounge chair this would be great for work stay as has a huge desk. Normal hotel very expensive mini bar."

"Definitely wouldn't stay again. The hotel is dated, severely overpriced and run down. While staff are friendly, the room was not worth the over $400 price tag. A view of a grey wall, no natural light, dated carpet, broken mini fridge, and run down bathroom. The bedsheets should be thrown out, and the mattress had a large lump in the middle. The hotel was absolutely packed with people and check in took over an hour due to the line of people and the fact that our room wasn't ready at check in time. The elevators couldn't cope. We had to go up to go down every time, otherwise every lift was full from the upper floors. This was even acknowledged by their staff who started to put people in the service lift. Breakfast was nothing special and coffees are not included in the price. Absolutely not worth the money and wouldn't recommend."

"This is not a 5 star hotel. The location is great. Easy access and view of the parliament. But it's noisy even on 10th floor. You can hear a lot of noise from the street. Room out date, weird lighting, dark not enough light, armchair is quite dirty, half of the TV screen is darker. The door doesn't close automatically. Broken glasses next to the pool and nobody looks after. Empty spa tub, not filling it up. $35 pp for breakfast."
