Just spent 5 nights at this hotel and our stay was excellent. The room was spacious, clean and well maintained. All staff were very professional, courteous and friendly. Alex on the front desk was exceptional, very knowledgeable, friendly and patient in giving us tips on where to eat, directions etc. Chelsey was our point of contact each morning for breakfast and she and the rest of the crew were very helpful. Great location, close to everything, new gym, spa and pool were also a treat. Well done guys !

My boyfriend and I stayed in the New York Loft Suite for 3 nights as part of my 20th birthday celebration. We had a bit of an issue with our aircon upstairs, but the staff were quick to resolve and we were soon moved to an alternate room upon our return. Though we were on the highest floor, there wasn't much of a view as the hotel was surrounded by much taller buildings. Additionally, there wasn't much selection for room service, which was unfortunate. However, other than those issues, we had a great stay here! The rooms were comfortable and spacious, and the ambient lighting really brought out the beauty in the space. Though I wasn't able to utilize the facilites, I want to comment that the gym, spa and pool were all kept very clean and looked great to use. The gym was also one of the most well-stocked gyms I've seen in a hotel. I would recommend staying here and would visit again!

We had a great stay at the Playford recently! At check in we were upgraded to a New York style loft room in the front corner of the top floor. The room was very spacious and the spiral staircase to the loft was quirky and definitely a talking point. The service from all the staff we interacted with was friendly and genuine. The art deco style renovation has really enlivened the place from the colour schemes in the hallways to the front bar you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Overall I have to say that we have stayed at a lot of hotels all over the world and this is one of the best places we have stayed in recent years. Hats off to the Playford team! 😀

My daughter and I recently took the opportunity to stay two nights at the Playford mid-week, while she was performing on the other side of town in a scouts' youth theatre production. Staying in the city minimised our travel time back and forth from the theatre. From our first interaction, to our last all staff were friendly, gracious and helpful. The facilities were excellent, and we really enjoyed the buffet breakfast. I have even since purchased Appelles beauty products for continued use as I really loved the luxurious feeling of them! Thank you so much, we agreed we will have to come back again in the future!

Amazing location in the heart of Adelaide. I love the option of two queen beds in the same room, great for family stay kids. Staff was extremely helpful and nice, always went above and beyond. Breakfast buffet was simple, but sensational quality. Everything was clean. Indoor pool with spa and sauna is a great option for cooler days. The only minor thing was that there was a super loud party somewhere nearby on a Saturday night - obviously not the hotels fault, so I still rate it 10/10, but just a heads up that is happens :)
