Find 3-Star Hotels in Adelaide

Nightcap at Empire Hotel was a convenient and practical choice for our road trip. Having a car made the stay much easier, especially with parking available. The staff were friendly, and the room was suitable for a short overnight stop. The location may be more convenient for guests who are driving rather than relying on public transport or wanting to stay close to the city centre. Overall, it was a simple and functional stay that worked well for our travel schedule.

The room has central air conditioning, but at this time of year, it's not turned on, so the room felt a bit stuffy. The noise from the fan outside the window was very loud, making it too noisy to open the window for ventilation. Breakfast was very mediocre; don't waste $18 on it. You'd be better off walking about 200m to the right of Grosvenor Hotel Adelaide by Accor to a beef noodle shop. The shower facilities were pretty good, with strong water pressure and easy temperature adjustment. The laundry room at Grosvenor Hotel Adelaide by Accor is practically non-existent, with old coin-operated washing machines.

We really enjoyed our stay at Mantra Meridien Adelaide. There was plenty of parking, the reception area is lovely, and check-in and check-out were smooth and easy. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The room was spacious, spotless, and had a balcony with a nice street view. The location is excellent — very close to the CBD, restaurants and cafés, which made getting around easy. Overall, we had a great experience. On our last night there was some noise from neighbouring guests, which was outside the hotel’s control. Other than that, everything was excellent, and we would definitely stay here again.

BreakFree Adelaide is a pragmatic choice for the high-frequency business traveler who views a hotel as a utility rather than an experience. Positioned on the western edge of the CBD, it offers a ”three-star plus” experience—clean, functional, and devoid of the price bloat found in nearby luxury hubs. The strategic advantage here is the onsite undercover parking ($22/night with a 2.1m clearance), which is a rare, friction-reducing asset in the city center. For those working in the West End or visiting the University of Adelaide’s Health Faculty, the logistics are seamless. The area's character is gritty but authentic. While the immediate hotel dining is unremarkable, the culinary upside is concentrated nearby. Specifically, Seoul Express on Hindley Street provides high-quality Korean fare that serves as a necessary antidote to standard hotel catering. Stay here for the operational efficiency; look elsewhere if you require aesthetic inspiration.

The location is definitely the biggest plus – right in the middle of the CBD and within walking distance of pretty much everything. That said, the downside is the noise. The hotel is on Hindley Street, so if you’re staying on a Friday or Saturday night, expect to be woken up by people shouting outside. I stayed on the top (4th) floor and could still hear everything, so I can only imagine what the lower floors are like. The building is very old and the windows offer almost no sound insulation. The rooms are also very dated. There’s nothing modern about them, and the furniture and fittings show obvious signs of wear and tear. The shower was another frustration. It takes around 10 minutes to get the water temperature right, and even then it keeps changing between very hot and cold while you’re showering. Overall, I don’t think it’s worth paying around $100 per night. During my stay in Adelaide, I found much better hotels for only $10–20 more per night. If your priority is location and you’re not bothered by noise or older facilities, it might suit you. Otherwise, I’d recommend spending a little extra for a much better experience.

I have stay at the Links hotel quite often without any issues, but this time was different. I booked through a booking website for 2 adults and 3 children, for 2 nights. First night was ok, came back 2nd day after going out for a while, aircon had been turned off, cleaners came in when we asked them not to, made 2 beds and left the double bed, didn’t clean anything at all and only left 2 towels. When I questioned the receptionist she said I only booked for 2 people for the 2nd night. And she was quite rude , yet I had confirmation on my phone otherwise. The booking company sent thru only 2 people for 2nd night. They got it wrong and I had no apology from her or any explanation of why the room was “cleaned “ like that . I’m not happy about it and doubt I’ll stay there again! 😡

15 minutes Uber ride away from Central, but at the heart of North Adelaide where you have equal access to good food and atmosphere. The receptionist is 5 minutes walk away. Easy parking with additional fee. Clean room, good amenities and interesting interior design.

Location of the hotel is great, have supermarket and restaurant nearby with walking distance. I do enjoy the stay given the price of it, it's acceptable. However, 2 light bulbs not working in the room, we let the staff know, and the staff only say: sorry, I couldn't change the light bulb, maintenance staff is working tomorrow only. I do understand that, but, maybe he could go and check if there is any room available for us to be moved to instead of just leaving the room like that.

Safe enviroment for solo traveller..a little tired and needing an upgrade  but handy location in good area. Gardens and grounds need tidying. Always enjoy my stay here
