The Playford Hotel is a pleasant place to stay, and the loft room is quite unique. The hotel is clean, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. However, it falls short of what I would consider a true five-star experience. While everything was good, nothing really stood out or felt exceptional, and unfortunately our only windows simply faced an alley way. I would like to see more offered for suite guests, such as a complimentary minibar, breakfast, or the introduction of an exclusive club experience similar to those found at Sofitel and other five-star hotels. Overall, while the stay was enjoyable, there was nothing compelling enough to encourage a return visit.

My parents stayed there for their 50th wedding anniversary and had a wonderful time. They stayed in the North Terrace Junior Suite and had a ball. The rooms are beautiful, bath huge, lovely lounge area as well. They were treated so well by all staff and thoroughly enjoyed their breakfast also. We have stayed here numerous times over the years and we absolutely love it. It is the hotel of choice for Adelaide- every time!! Thanks again for making their stay so special!

Beautiful hotel in a really convenient location in the city. Amazing customer service from all the staff. I loved the facilities: the gym, sauna, and pool were so lovely to use. I booked a room with a spa and it was so relaxing. Staying at the Playford Hotel was the most relaxing thing I've done all year. Thank you for an amazing stay. If you are a mum of 4 and have not had a night away from the kids in 8 years and it's your birthday: this is the hotel you should book for yourself.

We had a wonderful stay at the Playford. The staff were very friendly and the room (we had the New York style loft suite) was so beautiful. All the furnishings felt luxe and the double shower was a great feature. We also made use of the heated pool and spa. And had the buffet breakfast this morning which was delicious with alot of variety. We will 100% be returning and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Adelaide. Thanks again 😊

The rooms themselves are great. We chose the Junior spa suite and the spa bath is fantastic. I also appreciated having the extra space of a separate bedroom. But I've never had a worse sleep in a hotel, it was horrendous. I was kept awake until 4am by the loud music of a nearby nightclub, and loud drunk people yelling as they walked up and down the street. For how much you pay for a junior spa suite, it's really not okay. I did ask at reception for earplugs but they didn't have any. I did not enjoy my time in Adelaide because I was so exhausted from lack of sleep. I had to cancel planned activities and have naps instead, although bizarrely the room is far quieter during the day than at night. If you're fully nocturnal you'll be fine, but otherwise the good points of the hotel don't outweigh the misery of being kept up til 4am. I can't imagine coming back unless they work on the soundproofing, or provide a steady supply of earplugs for sleeping. A holiday is meant to help refresh you, not send you back home feeling absolutely exhausted by your expensive hotel room. Although it is beautiful, I can't recommend this place unless you're one of those people who could sleep through the apocalypse.
