Look I don’t think that I’ve ever been impressed by drainage, but the drain in the shower of the Adelaide oval hotel were superb! You know what happens you turn on the shower and it sprays all over the floor and then you’ve got a flooded bathroom and soggy bath mat, well not here. The hotel is much more that sensational drainage, it’s automated and all the fixtures are exceptionally designed. Also you don’t appreciate the location until you look out on the cathedral at night and the oval from the exceptional bespoke restaurant.

The sound of the outside world was quite audible and the oval precinct is busy (there are people walking about nothing intentional happening) 24 hrs a day.

Atmosphere, originality , staff friendliness and efficiency, location

A very modern hotel that is eco friendly. Stylish decor, remote controlled curtains, rain head shower with lovely amenities and bath sheets. Very comfortable beds and pillows and the rooms are very dark with the curtains drawn - enabling a great night’s sleep. Complimentary tea and coffee available in reception with lounges to watch the world go by or catch up on the latest news.

No matter what I tried I couldn’t connect to the Wifi either on my laptop or my phone. Im assuming that it was my room was too far from the signal. I was at the very end of the corridor and tucked around a dog leg (room 401). This inconvenience meant that I was unable to do as much work as I needed to. Room service is delivered in a paper bag and the food served in compostable packaging. Whilst this is to be recognised as sustainable, I wonder if it is not more economical to use regular china and metal cutlery. Ordering a meal to have in house, and having it served effectively as a take away option was not ideal for a salad you are paying $25 for.

When we entered the room, we were greeted with a wonderful view of the parklands and cathedral. The tv was on with a personalised welcome message, and the room smelt fresh and clean; The provided tablet was also personalised, which was also a pleasant surprise. The room provides plenty of opportunity to just close the door when you arrive and then stay in your own little bubble if you so wish. The digital setup allows you to make contact with room service without the need to call and speak to someone and the television has a chromecast attached so you can use your phone to connect to your own streaming services. The rooms are reasonably soundproof, we heard no voices/sounds for the neighbour rooms but we did hear every time our neighbour stomped back and forth in their room. The food was satisfyingly tasty and arrived in the room hot.

The mattress was a little softer than we would normally prefer, but nothing unbearable. There was a tapping noise, sounded like a door lock sound, that came from the hallway on random occasions, which was a little irritating but I don't think I heard it more than once or twice while I slept. The automatic blinds didn't have an option to partially open, so when you open them in the morning, it gets very bright very quickly. Breakfast wouldn't let me order without selecting the gluten-free option in dietary, so we got gluten-free bread instead of the brioche that was supposed to come with it but it was still tasty.

Very close to CBD, but much nicer to be in the lovely parkland setting of the hotel. Good facilities in rooms, such as coffee maker, lights, curtains etc. digitally controlled by tablet, you can book taxis through it too, very helpful. The bar is pleasant, and we really enjoyed eating outdoors on the terrace, with that fantastic view of the Oval. Even got to see a game being played. Didn't eat in the restaurant itself, only from bar menu, but other guests commented to us on how good the food was.

There is traffic noise, as the roads around the parkland are busy, but no problem with sleeping at night.

The staff were lovely, so friendly and helpful especially the night concierge M. He was fantastic, happy to help despite the late hour of our arrival. Our room had two separate and gorgeous views - city and catherdral. It was quiet and clean. The room had an extra bed as requested and the room and bathroom were spacious. All the beds and pillows - heaven, so comfortable like sleeping on a cloud. And coffee machine and guest bathrobes a plus. Room service and food exceptional. Loved the automatic curtains, lighting and movies on demand etc. Location - easy and pretty walk to WCH and Rundle Mall. And the leisure centre access was fantastic too. Easiest parking in Adelaide.

Well done to the housekeeping staff, the room was very clean and the bed was perfectly made. I loved the easy to use wall panels and ipad next to the bed to control the ambience and order room service, a fun and easy function. Modern, comfortable, warm, great views, AMAZING food, and just perfect for attending the AFL.

Hard to fault. But personally, I found the bed a bit too soft and the pillows were a bit high for my neck. Comfortable, but hurt my neck to sleep. Not a complaint, as that's just me. Some of the staff could learn to smile.

Breakfast was great. Location is excellent. Very proud of our City. The view of the Cathedral is very special.

The only thing i didnt like was the clunky way of ordering room service. You couldnt go back and order a drink. To arrive in an Uber style paper bag and in cardboard boxes was not very nice. We ordered desert and the picture showed icecream but it didnt come with icecream. I did order a coke zero as welll and it didnt arrive with the food. HOwever, these are very small criticisms, we love the oval. Disappointed the fried rice wasnt on the menu as last time it was the bom diggity.

A fabulous hotel situated within the iconic Adelaide Oval complex. The staff were caring & efficient. Our room was a generous size even with the bed separated into singles. Beautiful garden views on one side & the wonderful Adelaide Oval on the other. The food in the casual dining area was delicious & catered for my dietary requirements. Breakfast with views of Adelaide Oval was delicious. An easy walk to the shopping area, art gallery, museum, library etc. Public trains, trams & buses are also close by. A guided tour of the Adelaide Oval is a must. We will be back.

I liked it all.

Loved the hotel itself, the location, design, novelty of being in the stadium. Good location. Facilitated our late check out request. Clean rooms, great bed, also good to see a mini bar in the room. Complimentary drink on arrival. Cool views from room and restaurant.

The service from staff and food doesn't match the rest of the hotel. Priced for high end without the corresponding quality unfortunately. Complementary shuttle service into town is not always staffed (so we were told), so call up the day before (to get someone else in) if you'd like this (which was not mentioned when checking in).
