Hilton Adelaide

I was a little scathing of the Hilton Adelaide in my previous review. It was because I've seen Hiltons from the old days (and they were definitely more luxurious). This Adelaide Hilton is quite acceptable as modern hotels go. We're not going to see the liveried doorman wearing immaculate white gloves anymore - I accept that. (But) I can't help myself comparing the old with the new. Modem hotels just don't have the splendour of the old style luxury hotels. So, bottom line, how is the Hilton? It's fine, as upper level 3/4 star hotels go. The staff are friendly and helpful and the rooms (although rather small) are comfortable - rather than splendidly lavish, like they were in the 60s and 70s. Would I stay there again? Quite possibly. I have stayed at the Mayfair in Adelaide and it was more luxurious. I was told it is being "renovated", if this is true, I hope they don't modernise it. Modernisation often means "making rooms smaller, more expensive and profitable". Adelaide is a wonderful capital city - possibly the nicest one in Australia. I needs good hotels that reflect its beauty and elegance.

We booked a room to celebrate my birthday and made an offer on the E- standby upgrade. The bid was successful. It is interesting to note that you can purchase an upgrade at reception for an ok price too. The executive lounge experience was very good. There was plenty to eat and drink. Andrija and Ryan were both so friendly and helpful. Even though it was Winter, I used the pool. The water is heated, so if there is no wind, it is pleasant. The gym is the best hotel gym anywhere.

Fantastic location. Right in the centre of the city. The room was old but very clean & great facilities. The bed was comfortable. We had a pleasant metro view. The function catering was really good. They have a wonderful bar that served both excellent cocktails and coffees. Unfortunately, that closed down the bar each night, especially when there were strong numbers of people.

This is a nice option ideally located in downtown Adelaide, a short walk from the markets.||We stayed for a few nights and were pleasantly surprised by some of the amenities. Some of the reviews rate this hotel as a bit tired, which I will agree with, but we still felt that the room nice. The breakfast was very good and room service delivered a great burger from their restaurant.

Had a 2 night mid week stay. Has been a long time since my last visit here, which began 30 years ago. The Hilton has been well refurbished. Rooms and bathrooms all modern and well maintained. Basic room has plenty of space. Building construction going on next door that impacts non street facing rooms until about 11pm during our stay, and from 7am in the morning.

The room was very comfortable and had an actual desk to work from, a bath tub, and the bed was excellent. I encourage everyone to utilise the pillow menu. The TV was easy to use and I was able to cast to television.||Gym was 24 hour access which was nice.||I was there for a work conference, the facilities were great, and I found the food served to be good, however the gluten free options were limited.||The bar and restaurant were nice, and the hotel itself is close to restaurants and shops, plus there is a tram stop just outside the hotel.||I did ask for an ergonomic chair in the conference room, and was told that one would be supplied which never was, so that was the only negative for me.||As someone who travels for work, this is one of the more comfortable and better setup hotel rooms I've had. Definitely recommend.

Everything was great about the hotel. We were able to checkin early which was a bonus. Our room had a wonderful view over Victoria square. Traffic noise wasn’t an issues but we did notice sirens a bit. ||The location was handy to so many things and we walked just about everywhere. Otherwise there is a bus stop just outside. ||Breakfast was excellent with a good variety of food available and even sparkling wine, a bonus!
