“Quiet neighborhood and great location.”

Good: We are older and we liked how quiet the neighborhood was. It was not on a busy road and it felt open with the park out front. The service was very good, staff were happy and helpful. Bad: Nothing. We got a really good deal so the service and hotel where both well above what we paid. Even if we paid full price we would have been more than happy

“Has all you need”

Stayed in an Executive room on the top floor (4th floor) overlooking the South Terrace. Room was a good size, fairly plain and a little dated furniture but in good order and clean. Bed was comfortable and air conditioning worked well in the January SA heat! Cleaning staff were fantastic with little issues such as a broken iron board and providing toiletries. The hotel has a lovely front lobby, didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment. Pool is a good size and adequate seating pool side. Parking available. Doesn’t take long to walk to the centre of Adelaide or grab the free tram which is a 5 minute walk from the hotel. Adequate hotel for a week long stay. Reasonably priced

“Busy, fun and relaxing”

Good: aircon was perfect on what was a hellishly hot week. Room made up perfectly and timely Bad: The door to my room's balcony only opened 1/3 and meant I could not leave my bike out there and therefore it was in my room. Minor issue, but there it is

“Lovely hotel with everything we needed”

Good: We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were absolutely lovely and very helpful at all times. Room was large and very comfortable overlooking the park which was a real bonus - even had a balcony! Central to everything which made it very easy to get around without having to use the car. Would definitely recommend. Has a great pool which we hope to use next time!

“Bon hôtel”

Good: Bon rapport qualité prix, avec petit déjeuner inclus. Le petit dej n'a rien d'exceptionnel (à part une machine à pancakes) mais permet de prendre des forces. Les lits sont confortables et les chambres familiales spacieuses. Bad: L'hôtesse qui nous a accueillis était sympathique mais semblait ne pas être très au point

“No Frills, but accommodating for what we required”

Just an overnight for a business function on the Friday night where location was important. Yes the hotel has been around for a while, but staff were efficient and the room was quite comfy and big enough.Lovely bed, quiet room and a strong hot shower in the morning ticked our boxes. WiFi was not an issue this trip so can't comment

Good: The pool. The feel of the hotel lobby. Easy parking. Rooms were clean. Loved being able to go on the balcony. Perfect location. Bad: The information on check in. Info about wi fi and breakfast and eating wasn’t clear Also didn’t like nit being able to have hot breakfast in the hotel. Didn’t like having to ‘go next door’. Also would have been nice to get a beer to have by the pool in the arvo

“Value for money but short stressed staff.”

Good: Location. Value for money and facilities. Bad: Due to the Motel being booked out the night before, the room wasn’t ready till 2pm although I asked for a 1pm check in and cleaners were everywhere when we checked in at 2.30pm. Extra staff may have been a good idea

“Awesome”

Good: Very clean and tidy, staff were great Bad: It was bit far from the main hub of city on foot. There was not enough car parking facilities and when there was parking some cars would take up more than one car space. Couldn't enter the building after hours without buzzing reception

Good: I asked for a quiet room and this was provided. The room was fresh and very clean. Liked having a couch, table and chairs and lovely view of the Parklands. Bed very comfortable. Bad: Toilet position a bit strange, due to space constraints. Staff could have been a bit more 'Meet and Greet' focused

“We will be back AGAIN!”

Good: Staff are friendly and accommodating. Informal but provide necessities. Toiletries, clean fresh towels and room services could not be faulted. Extra requests eg late check out, use of fan in room,car park for couple of hours after check out were unexpected and v helpful. The property is being transformed in stages, and foyer and pool area are delightful. Almost miss the clunky lift. All ancillary staff, groundsmen, general cleaners and room service polite and friendly if you hold a conversation. Perfect balance of comfort and ease for families. Well equipped playground opposite, great coffee from Sage. Bad: It was unfortunate that there was a problem with hot water, but staff responded quickly, maintenance fixed and complimentary refreshments which was v appreciated

Good: My friend and I were very happy to have a double bed each in our room and liked how cosy the room was for the price. We also liked that it was only a five minute walk to the tram to get to the markets and Rundle mall :) Bad: I did find it difficult to park my car in the underground parking area and it was a tight squeeze, through the door, to get out onto the balcony

“Hotel confortable avec un emplacement idéal pour découvrir Adélaide à pied”

Good: Les chambres spacieuses, la vue sur le parc bien que les balcons soient condamnés, Le petit déjeuner avec fruits frais et pancakes , un petit restaurant sympa avec cuisine familiale et prix très abordables à deux pas de l'hôtel, la situation à l'écart du bruit avec une proximité du centre qui permet la visite d'Adélaide à pied ... La gentillesse de Jane quand nous avons demandé à changer de chambre. Bad: chambre 101 au dessus d'un compresseur ou turbine ou je ne sais quoi générant un bruit incessant qui cumulé à celui des climatisations nous a empêché de dormir la première nuit. L'échange de la chambre s'est fait sans problème le lendemain

We stayed for several days. It was well located on South Terrace. The rooms were large, beds comfortable and the water hot. It was fine. There was a brand new lift that worked well. At the same time it is not great externally. The verandahs were dirty, the curtains frayed and half the car park was roped off as being unusable, The staff were fine

“Perfect property at the best location & reasonable rates”

Good: Location is perfect for a short stay - close to CBD & eating places. Staff are exceptional - allowed us to check in early, guided us on where to go, tips to best places around - very good customer service. Room was spacious & good enough for 3 people. Bad: Cleanliness can be improved 10x better - property seems luxurious from outside however rooms need some serious revamping - new color/ wall patching. It gives a feeling of a dingy place which it is not! Also aircon makes way tooo much noise - best to fix it before guests request change of rooms, multiple times

The staff at the Chifley were wonderful. We had to make a very last minute booking because our other accommodation fell through. They happily supplied crockery, cutlery and glassware to our room for the dinner we had planned elsewhere. Overnight our plans changed and we had to cut our two nights to one. They happily gave us a refund. Staff and service levels of this quality are a rarity

Needing one night in Adelaide we booked into the Chifley for one nigh, making the booking 4 nights in advance. friend of us warned us that she thought that the beds were hard and that they were kept awake by the busy traffic on South Terrace. No such complaint from my wife and I. We were greeted with a smile and given our room, which faced on to South Terrace. The sheets were pristine clean, the toilet/ shower were clean and the bed was very comfortable. No problems sleeping and no disturbances. The continental breakfast included in our booking was very substantial and were greeting by the maitre 'd with a smile. We had enough to eat to see us through the morning shopping !!! The carpets are in need of replacing but, hey, if that's all there is to complain about we heartily suggest this accommodation
