Have stayed here on quite a few occasions with my family. There are five of us so we always book a family room. There is plenty of space for everyone and we always include breakfast. Rooms are very clean apart from the pigeons outside on the balcony. Service in the restaurant is especially great. My son was really looking forward... More

A well appointed hotel in a quiet location opposite a park on the edge of the 'square mile'. Rundle Mall is about a 15 - 20 minute walk. Trams and buses close by in King William St. Also close to several restaurants, pubs and other eateries. Desk staff were courteous and helpful at all times.

Our room overlooked a beautiful private school and playing fields so we were surrounded by greenery. Beautiful view from our balcony. It is in a very quiet area but easy walking distance to Gouger Street. We were talking to some locals and they recommended a cheap and cheerful little gem for dinner.

Dear Noosagirl7 Thanks for the great review on your recent stay. We are indeed fortunate with our location opposite the delightful and tranquil South Parklands which is great for relaxation away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, yet within easy distance to walk to if required. Gouger Street is arguably Adelaide's premier dining precinct with over 100... More

Stayed here on business, on one of the higher level floors, with great views of the city. This hotel is on the edge of the city, being away from the centre of town and eateries. It is opposite a large park, and if you are a good walker or jogger, is perfectly located. Room had a balcony, and appeared to... More

Grand Chifley was an excellent place to stay for our 4 day to trip to Adelaide.

An old but well maintained hotel. Big credits to the staff. Rooms are cleaned and well sized. Biggest complaint is that there are inadequate number of car park spaces for the guests. To make it worst, some of these spots are taken up by the restaurant patrons and staff members. I found this is quite amusing that the hotel staffs... More
