Beautiful lobby and rooms

The push button lights in the room need written instructions on how to use them. We found them very confusing

It’s brand new

It doesn’t have a spa :(

The hotel was opened around August last year. It’s in a superb CBD location, very central and walking distance to Rundle Mall, Chinatown, Victoria Square and the Central Market. The guest room is spacious, clean, comfortable with very quiet airconditioning. Plenty of room lights and power points for charging. Large and functional bathroom with a two way wardrobe…clever practical design. The lobby has separate areas for working and socialising… the lobby bar area was great for a quiet coffee or relaxing drink after a day out. The foyer Penny Blue restaurant double up as the breakfast venue… we had a romantic sumptuous dinner there and breakfast was delicious… large buffet selection and a big special ‘thank you’ to Raj, the Breakfast Manager, who was very friendly and helpful… Raj made our stay very special and memorable. Other staff were also very polite and obliging. The gym was well equipped. We have been attending the Tour Down Under for over twelve years now and the Adelaide Marriott is by far the best hotel in Adelaide… it’s like a home away from home. We can’t wait to return next year. Overall, we had a most memorable, enjoyable stay at the Adelaide Marriott.

Nothing……..

Breakfast had lots of choice and is in a palatial room. No crowding as various stations for food types - fruit, cheese and meat, egg ordering, hot food, cereals and bakery items. 2 coffee stations. I loved the 2-way wardrobe - doors opening in the bedroom and other doors in the bathroom. This turns the bathroom into a bathroom/dressing room but with dry neat clothes! Fantastic location. Within walking distance of everywhere. For those who prefer not to walk, the tram stop is 2 min walk. Plenty of restaurants to choose from nearby.

Nothing we didn't like. We were very happy.

Location was faultless as it’s close to many good restaurants. Unfortunately being a public holiday there were few trading on the day we stayed. But that was more our problem & nothing to do with the hotel. We had a lovely swim in the hotel pool with virtually no one else there.

Reception was a little slow even when there was actually none booking in except us. But they did accommodate our early checkin so that was great, and even up got an upgrade on our room to a corner suite which was lovely. We were disappointed that all of the heritage parts of the hotel are not yet finished, as we would have loved to see them.

Breakfast was delicious, fresh produce, presentation excellent, plentiful choices, staff were attentive and pleasant.

Had problems with the plumbing in our room. Noises from the bathroom (toilet). Spoke to reception who offered another room but decided to stay. Unfortunately, was woken with the noise around 2am. Did mention it again when we checked out. Am aware that the hotel had only opened 2 weeks prior so realise there would be teething problems:)

The size of the rooms, the layout. The reception staff and breakfast staff at penny blue.

Frank at concierge was really rude and made me go back up to my room with both my kids at 8:30pm to find the valet parking ticket to access something out of my car that was parked out the front. After asking him could I show him my ID he said “I have all your details but not ticket no car” then I came back down and the other man was there and didn’t ask for the ticket he knew it was my car and super helpful.

Liked we could check in half an hour early. Room was lovely and clean. New facilities. Large shower. Lovely staff on arrival - very polite and well spoken.

There was a loud noise at around 3am - sounded like a fan. Could hear the water running from other rooms in the morning. Room was too warm on arrival. Would have liked access to a streaming service on TV.

The service and the dinner at the Penny Blue exceeded our expectations. My wife loved the quail, and we both loved the mushroom gnocchi - (simply the best). Special commendation to Namil, whose level of service was exceptional, and his understanding of how to interact with his guests just added that extra special touch to our experience.

Nothing

The facilities, such as the pool and gym, were fantastic. The rooms were also great, with loads of storage space to keep bags, shoes, and clothes out of the way.

The vehicle parking off-site was unexpected and costly. We opted for the self-park, and sometimes this car park did not feel safe. There would be no way my partner would have felt comfortable on her own.
