Central location with parking Staff v helpful and friendly

Elaine Australia

Room was clean and comfortable. Location was excellent. Easy check in and out and the parking made life easy.

Josh Australia

Our room was excellent and very clean even by Covid standards. The staff were excellent and handled my grief extremely well. We were given a late chechout and a $50 voucher.

Michael Australia

Loved the friendly, helpful staff, the location and the comfort of our room. Unfortunately due to COVID-19 the restaurant was not open but we enjoyed a delicious room service breakfast instead. As there was no Foxtel available when we were there, again, due to just getting back up & running after their Covid-19 shut down, we received a free breakfast for a night. We stayed 2 nights & really enjoyed the Playford hotel. Lovely, friendly staff, thank you 😊 definitely stay there again.

Pamela Australia

Well located, pleasant staff and facilities. Everything you need.

Elita Australia

Kathryn United States of America

Comfortable room. Clean and quiet. Good gym. Excellent location for trams, Rundle Mall and Riverbank to get to Oval, zoo

Trevor Australia

The team members were exceptional - literally no exceptions - it was really impressive. Rooms are really great, beds and room finishes really nice. Pool and gym were great too. Used valet parking and that was quick and easy every time. Exceeded our expectations, really enjoyed our stay.

Michael United States of America

Spacious and clean room. Good location to find food. Very helpful staff who returned my sweater (which I left at the tour coach) to my room just in time before our departure.

Senno Indonesia

Beautiful decor. Loved the loft style room. Short walk to shopping, casino and parks etc. Breakfast was very tasty.
