5-Star Hotels in Adelaide

I recently stayed at the Hilton Adelaide and had a pleasant experience overall. The breakfast was excellent, with a good variety of options to start the day, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating throughout my stay. The rooms, while clean and comfortable, felt a little dated and could use a refresh to match the Hilton standard. However, the highlight was discovering the on-site tennis court—a great feature that added a fun and unique touch to the stay! Overall, it’s a solid choice for a visit to Adelaide, and I’d happily stay again, especially if the rooms get a little modern update in the future.

Hotel is a bit aged, but maintained well. Rooms are clean. Staff are friendly. It’s close to everything. We enjoyed 4 days of staying there.

Nice room but the lift is so slow, we were staying at Level 15 and had to wait for 20min to get to the lobby as only one lift was working. And the breakfast is very average, no full buffee as their claimed. I could not even get the fried eggs 😂

Just stayed at this hotel and it’s pretty decent. The location is super convenient—close to everything you’d need. The room was big, which was nice, and the facilities felt new and clean. It’s not super fancy, but it’s comfortable and gets the job done. The staff were friendly enough, no complaints there. If you’re looking for a solid place to stay without breaking the bank, this is a good option. Would probably stay again if I’m in the area.

only a short stay, good experiences. the room is very clean and staffs are warm and kind. No hotel carpark but valet parking available.

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Playford. The room was spacious and shower had a very good water pressure. Easy and secure parking across the road. Location was excellent. We could easily walk to Rundle mall or Adelaide central market. Alternatively the free CBD tram stop was just across the road. The only negative thing was the bed was too soft for my liking.

The hotel is new, the bathroom is quite big, the staff is warm and thoughtful. The location is excellent. It's about a 10-minute walk to Chinatown. In addition, the restaurant on the first floor has good steak.

It was better than expected, the room design was beautiful, the breakfast was exquisite, and there were many Chinese-speaking waiters. The mini bar is free and the hotel is close to many Chinese restaurants

No car park attached to hotel, have to drive to car park yourself or pay $55 for a chauffeur to drive it. Room service menu was fancy stuff from the downstairs restaurant. Nothing simple. Not even room service breakfast available. On the note of the restaurant downstairs this is where the “buffet” breakfast was and I use that term loosely. Shocking variety. Even have to do our own coffees right in a tiny corner of the the room. One coffee at a time while the line gets bigger. We have to get a special order for eggs because the scrambled eggs are just mush. At least the toaster worked. And the space fits maybe 20 which is fine for a B&B but not for a 16 floor hotel. We had to have breakfast at 8 to avoid the crowds waiting at 9 and later. In the room itself (we had a suite), there were light switches EVERYWHERE. And they were all so confusing as you couldn’t see what they said. Then the one in the bathroom you had to walk in and close the door to access it. No fan ventilation for showers. Bath mats being so thin gets immediately soaked after one shower. No face washers. Bench was too low for a bathroom. Hand towels way too low. The size of the bathroom was nice though and the shower pressure was good. TV remote didn’t work properly, could not find all amenities like coffee, tea, fridge even etc. No nice hotel guide folder to help us out. The “desk” was the tv cabinet when there was plenty of space in the lounge area to have a desk. Then we had a balcony with no chairs or table to sit at (can easily have some out there and bolt them down for safety). The temperature stuff don’t even get me started. Uncomfy beds and flat pillows. I ended up sleeping on the lounger as it was more comfortable. I don’t think I’ll be back anytime soon. Wasn’t horrible but wasn’t great. The staff were nice though which was a nice change

The most stunning hotel in Adelaide. Nothing to fault. My second stay here and it didn’t disappoint. Comfortable bed, pleasant fragrance through the entire hotel. Friendly service. Pool, steam room and gym is excellent. Will be back again for sure!
