Hotels Near Islamic Arabic Centre & Masjid Al Khalil in Adelaide

The property is conveniently located on the North Terrace among the campus of University of South Australia. Hotel parking was limited but it was not a problem of us as we were mostly out early in the morning for sightseeing and only back after dinner. Hence we parked our car along Liverpool St which offered free overnight parking. The Oval, Railway Station and Rundle Mall are all a few minutes walk away. We were given a corner room on the 2nd floor which was HUGE. The room was slightly dated but it was clean and functional.

We stayed here last night as we were going to The 10cc concert. Arrival was swift and easy and the room was already available. Our room was a junior suite facing North Terrace, it was clean and quiet. We enjoyed 2 complimentary drinks from the bar. They have refurbished the hotel but I think the bar looks a touch bland and not welcoming. I would have thought that there would have been sanitiser available on all levels by the lifts and in the room also. The shampoo, soap etc no longer comes as individual packs but huge bottles and being still in Covid times I thought this a bit off putting. Breakfast was ok nothing special and luckily we had ours included or it would have cost us $42.00 per person and it was not worth that much. The pre-made pancakes were freezing cold. There was a good range of cereals and the fruit plates were nice but had defrosted and tinned fruit also. I found all the supposedly hot foods not hot but cool venturing on cold and they need to do something about the baked beans as they were nasty. We had a slight hiccup on leaving as we were almost charged for two glasses of red wine which we quickly told the receptionist we never had. She amended that quickly so all good.

My husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary this year by visiting Adelaide. Stamford Plaza was our main base as we travelled throughout the region experiencing all of the arts, culture, history, Architecture, food and wine of the region. Our stay at Stamford Plaza was pleasant and clean with all the amenities needed in a central location. To raise the bar though it was the service we received at Stamford Plaza from Jacqui aka Jax that made it extra special. From her warm welcome, recommended attractions and hot spots to the extra special touches including bottle of wine to help us celebrate. Our memories of our stay in Adelaide were greatly enhanced due to Jax and the Stamford Hotel. Thank you!

Hands down the best hotel experience I’ve had in many years. I am an Accor member and was made to feel extremely special on our wedding anniversary. Staff were lovely. Our luxury room was fantastic and so spacious, all the amenities were provided or could be ordered via the in room tablet if needed. The only fault would be the in room fridge wasn’t very cold, drinks were just over room temperature. Will return asap 👌🏻😍

Ibis Adelaide was a great location that was central to shops, groceries, transit, restaurants and cool sites. The hotel was clean and tidy. The room was bright. The air conditioning/heating feature was pleasant. Having a big screen tv in the room was nice for relaxing after a long day of site seeing. I will be sure to stay at Ibis hotels for my future travels

Well reviewed hotel, which we found disappointing. Firstly, on arrival (we arrived around 11am), at check-in we were told that our room wasn't ready so the receptionist after reminding us that check-in was at 3pm, stored away our luggage and promised to text us when the room was ready, we went for a walk, after having lunch, about 2.5 hours later, we went back and the room still wasn't ready, after an hours waiting in the reception area and watching guests checking in without any problem my wife (again) asked when our room was ready, her reply was that the room had been ready for some time and she thought that we were relaxing, so she didn't want to disturb us ( no text either) - really! Our stay was bed with breakfast, breakfast menu we thought was prescriptive, we had a choice of tea/coffee or orange juice couldn't have both as it was extra, throughout the breakfasts, chef found it impossible to fry an egg without charring it. The pool which is shown in the picture is small, get your fitness bunny in and that's it, then again we found it filthy, looking on the side wall there was a 2” (50mm) black, thick tide mark all around the inside of the pool and 'bits' on the floor so it seems cleanliness isn't top of the list, which comes to our room, nice sized and comfortable, but why the cleaner couldn't clean our room when he was either next door or the room facing was puzzling even though we put our tag on our door. A thing we found with regard to the reviews of this hotel I found that quite a few of these were people from Adelaide who not only gave this hotel 5 stars, but only ever did one review - hmm? The hotel is situated about a 10/15 minute walk from the centre of town and appeared to be a popular place to stay amongst the business fraternity

We stayed in a budget room, and it was great! Room was a little on the small side but very comfortable for us as a couple. Bathroom light was a little dark, but the shower was fantastic and always had hot water. Good location in the suburbs of Adelaide, easy to navigate and to get to other places. Perfect spot for a comfortable place to sleep after a long day.

Decided to try he Arkaba Hotel bistro twice during my stay in Adelaide. I'm glad I did. Whilst this is a huge complex that has the bistro, pokies, sports bar and accomodation, it is a family friendly place that is well patronised. When I was there on a Friday and Sunday night, the dining room was bustling, with diners having a meal before theatre/comedy shows and birthday celebrations, in addition to the usual casual dining. On Friday night, I tried the sourdough garlic bread with cheese, which had some nice density to it, grilled to perfection with stretchy cheese. Then I had the beef schnitzel with mushroom sauce. The schnitzel was crunchy and I really liked the mushroom sauce - lots of mushrooms in a possible cream of mushroom soup base. Lots of crispy chips were on the plate too. When I went back on the Sunday, I had the Yoder smoked scotch fillet, once again with mushroom sauce. I didn't need the sauce, as the steak had a lovely Smokey flavour that stood on its own. I ordered mine medium, and it was cooked perfectly. The Caesar salad was fresh and tasty, and the dressing was not too heavy. The chips were crispy once again, but the only downside were the two onion rings, which could have done with a bit longer in the fryer. Meals are ordered and paid for at the register, with drinks purchased separately at the bar. Multiple televisions screens showing sport and select commercial stations are also present in the bistro. All in all, next time I visit Adelaide, I will be heading back to Arkaba Hotel for a meal.

The Grand is without a doubt all about the location! Given it’s ocean front position it should offer an absolute premium experience but instead falls a little short as it continues to date without much sign of refurbishment. The rooms are basic, the carpets old, the furnishings aging and everything just feels in need of some love. Bathrooms still have showers over the bath with shower curtains and the air con in the room wasn’t very effective (too hot despite being on the coolest setting). There was also a wedding being hosted during my 1 night stay and despite my room being on the 5th floor (ballroom is on level 1), I could hear the band/music until the end of the reception at 11:30pm. On the positive (besides premium location), the staff at reception / concierge were excellent. They greeted with absolute care on arrival and happiness during check out, despite being early in the morning. It felt like they enjoyed what they did and that’s so good to see in customer facing roles. Worth considering this hotel for a stay, just as long as you’re happy with basic ammenities in a great location.
