Hotel Grand Chancellor Adelaide
Nice hotel, very helpful staff. The only downside was that the streets in the surrounding area are quite dirty and unappealing. Not the hotel’s responsibility, of course, but a drawback. The Rundle Mall area is lovely and clean.

Stamford Plaza Adelaide
We were allowed early check in on arrival - much appreciated. Room was well appointed and completely clean. The weather was in the high 30’s but the A/C was easily up to the task. Staff was very helpful. The included breakfast was outstanding. Highly recommended.
