Hotels Near Willcocks Reserve 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.

The hotel is located on a side road which is easily missed.We had to take another turn to locate it. Car parking is at a public location just down the road. The hotel which is fairly new is well equipped and conveniently located within walking distance of Rundle Mall and the train station. The only complaint I have is that the water draining from the shower area may overflow into the toilet area and entrance to the toilet. Apart from this minor issue,the hotel is excellent in most aspects. The staff are responsive and pleasant. As a side note,Club 129 down the alley and opposite the train station,serves a decent meal with promotions throughout the week.

Stayed here for four nights in a two bedroom, one bathroom apartment. Apartments are reasonably well appointed and have ceiling to floor length windows that afford good views of the surrounding area of the city. Each of the bedrooms was a reasonable size and had a king sized bed (two singles pushed together -reasonably comfortable) with a bedside table and reading lamp on either side. There was a large wardrobe in both bedrooms as well as a chair. There was a flat screen TV on the wall in one of the bedrooms. In the combined dining/lounge and kitchen area there was a round dining table with four chairs, a two seater lounge (with a low back which was quite uncomfortable), a single lounge chair, a coffee table, two low returns - one with a stereo and the other with a flat screen TV, a separate desk and chair and a stand alone lamp. The kitchen had a full sized fridge, microwave, cooktop, oven, dish washer, kettle, toaster, tea and coffee making facilities plus a basic arrange of plates, crockery, glasses and eating utensils for at least four people. There was also some cooking implements. The bathroom had the shower in the bath (pressure was good) as well as a washing machine and dryer. There was an initial supply of washing up, dish washer and washing machine liquid. WIFI was included and worked well. There was also a safe as well as a clothes airer available (the latter from reception). There was a small round able with chairs on the balcony. Room and bathroom were very clean on arrival. Room was serviced daily except on Sunday though there was room for improvement in the daily clean. Staff on reception at check in and check out were excellent and there was no difficulty in storing our bags. Location is excellent. In less than 10 minutes walk you could visit the Central Markets or Rundle Mall. There are also a good number of cafes and restaurants in close proximity.

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!

We stayed here for a two night break, lured in by the stylized photographs. The hotel itself was built in 1926, and I think the rooms were last refurbished around 1976 the furniture is old and dated. The med was comfortable, but we found some serious stains on the bedding. The location is excellent for trams and access to Rundle St Mall, however being so close to Hi key Street means that there are council street sweeper trucks passing around 430am ever morning. Also, the lane way that has access to the hotel had a few undesirable characters camping in the doorway of the hotel, and having a little drink and argument to themselves quite late. The cold water tap in the bathroom didn’t work. We alerted the hotel reception who told us there was someone booked to come and fix it whilst we were out. When we returned it had not been fixed. We told the receptionist that it hasn’t been fixed so if the plumber had billed them, then he hadn’t done his job. Finally, the hotel policy has a clause for “night workers” who are to “escort their guests out of the building and ensure the security fort is closed” I wasn’t quite sure what that meant at first, but it didn’t take long for the penny to drop. Several times during the night there was a rhythmic banging of the headboard in the adjacent room ….. business must have been good! Overall, I guess you get what you pay for. We lamented over the additional $20 a night extra we could have spent to have a much nicer hotel, just an extra block away from being smack bang in the middle of the city.

We enjoyed our stay at the Hilton Adelaide. Very convenient location and great view

Well there might be a sign at the front desk stating ”leave a 5-star review for a free coffee”. . Forgive me for selling out but coffee is coffee 😅 Okay, well this hotel is comfortable and clean with no real negatives. If I had to be picky, I would say it needs better TV selections for movies, maybe Foxtel and Netflix enabled. The balcony is nice although the views from my room were of a back street but still nice to have that option. Bed was comfortable and bathroom clean. No in room snacks or drinks but there is a vending machine downstairs. Overall a nice stay, good pizza bar near by and good location.

My hubby and I spent 2 nights here. A great room, clean, with everything we needed. Great location, short walk to some fantastic restaurants and bars. Shopping is only a 5 minute walk away. Would definitely stay again.

My parents and I booked for lunch. Two of us had the lamb shoulder and the other had Mulloway. 10/10 for all mains and empty plates sent back to the kitchen. Desserts were ordered - two of us had the expression parfait - a delicious combo of treacle tart and coffee parfait with delicious inclusions such as crisp honeycomb. The third member of the party fancied the ice cream and strawberry sauce enjoyed by the youngster on the neighboring table and the kitchen were happy to oblige. Service friendly and efficient, and the bar person made and excellent gin and tonic to highlight a SA Gin for this Victorian. All in all the best hotel meal I have had in Adelaide for many years and I will come back on other trips.
