When I called and requested late check-in instructions, the staff told me she had already talked to someone about this, and it did not seem like she wanted to repeat the information to me. This is very strange because I am a solo traveler and I would be the only person calling. After a few minutes explaining to her about my situation, she asked for my email. Then my phone was disconnected (poor signal). I called back, and the same person asked if she could talk to someone else who could understand her. I told her I was the only one calling and I could understand her perfectly. Eventually, I was able to give her my email so she could send the check-in instructions.
Also, the wifi password was not posted in the room. So I have no internet connection.
This is not a good experience and I will be reluctant to stay there again.
We love the location! It is so close to the bay. We can easily walk to shops, restaurants, playgrounds, and the jetty. We definitely enjoyed the breakfast and will come back in spring.
Basic amenities, nice location - you'll need transport in and out. It's a quiet spot. Rooms are cosy, bathroom can be a bit of a tight squeeze (if you're in the standard cabins). If you're only needing a place to rest whilst you're doing things during the day, then this is value for money.
The hotel is next to the Tanunda Pines Golf Course, essentially on the same ground within walking distance from the hotel reception. If I had known that prior to checking in I would have booked the course for a quick round - totally my own fault. Pity. But I did get to enjoy Novotel's tennis court and got a quick sweat session with my husband which was very nice before attending my friend's wedding nearby. The hotel is centrally located in Barossa Valley and the hotel has good facilities. Great choice for vacation in this region.
ゲゲストIt was ok, but not more.
The two most important things for me in any hotel are a comfortable bed and a good shower.
the bed was great but the water pressure in the shower was very poor.
Aside from that, there were other issues that I would not expect from a hotel of this standard, carrying the prices it does.
The TV power button did not work, neither did any of the top buttons on the remote.
Once I turned the TV on at the GPO and then on the actual TV itself, I was unable to use the connected DVD player as the buttons to switch to it on the remote did not work.
Breakfast was quite poor. Basically cereal or scrambled eggs with a few other options such as fruit cups, yoghurt and biscuits.
It served my purpose being close to the convention centre, but I doubt I'd stay there again.
ゲゲストAs I was going to be leaving from the Parklands Train Terminal early in the morning this hotel was perfectly situated for my trip. Although I wasn't at the hotel for very long only about 12hrs overnight it was a good location and the room faced the parking so meant it was quieter as well and didn't get the hot afternoon sun either. I would say though there was no pricelist I could find for the mini-bar, not that I used it was only thinking of grabbing some cold water that was in the fridge. The one thing I wasn't a fan was the spa tub/shower combo. The jets need a serious clean all around them but then even standing in it meant anyone tall as in 6'5” plus may have to bend down. I would think they should rip out the spa tub and put in a nicer rain shower shower stall instead maybe just provide spa tubs in rooms that you can also put a shower stall into.
I'd stay here again mainly for the location as it's also right across the street from the big park area which was fantastic to walk around on a warm evening after dinner at the pub up the street.
ゲゲストThe hotel is fully equipped, clean and hygienic, and the service staff is warm and thoughtful. The geographical location is close to the urban area, which is a good choice.
OoH ricE mediaExcellent Stay at Stamford Hotel Adelaide
I had a wonderful stay at the Stamford Hotel in Adelaide. The location is unbeatable – right in the heart of the city, just across from the casino and railway station, with plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby. It’s incredibly convenient with easy access in every direction, whether you’re heading out for sightseeing, dining, or business.
The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the service was friendly and efficient. This has become my go-to place whenever I visit Adelaide, and I’ll definitely continue to stay here in the future.
Highly recommended!
