Hotels near Our Lady of the Sacred Heart, Adelaide

The location is good. You can sometimes see dolphins on the beach opposite. When you check in, you will receive a welcome wine card that can be redeemed. However, the bar on the first floor can be a bit noisy when there are activities. However, earplugs are provided in the saloon on the second floor.

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.

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!

The hotel is indeed very old but maintained in a decent way. The location is great right next to the market.

Friendly check in team helped us check in quickly. Tidy modern room with clean amenities. Convenient location and pleasant stay.

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.

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

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.

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.

I communicated with the hotel, they said I stayed a week they only change the bed sheets once, I stayed for two days this time, they did not help you clean the bed, relatively, other hotels, do not change the bed sheets also help clean the bed, the worst is Not cleaning up the garbage and adding coffee and milky, came to stay yesterday for work, also hope to come back in the evening can rest, drink a cup of coffee, they should improve, otherwise I will not introduce friends.
