“Reasonably priced accomodation”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2012

1st time to Adelaide & booked the Chifley at South Terrace as it was a reasonable holiday package ($490 3 nights) & had a large pool. Hotel is a little tired in appearance but rooms are larger than usual, bed very comfortable & staff very helpful. 5 minute walk to free tram. Borders nice open park land. Good pubs, restaurants & cafes within easy walking distance. Highley recommend The Greek on Halifax (restaurant) a couple of blocks away.

Room Tip: Try & request a parkside room as the rear rooms hav eno view. Also try & request a higher fl...

You mention many of the positives of staying at our CBD Fringe location and the Greek on Halifax is indeed one of Adelaide's finest greek restaurants.

“Value for money, nice location, friendly staff”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2012

As the address suggest, located on the southern end of the CBD, looking out towards nice gardens and playing fields.

We chose a twin room for $240 for two nights and overall it was great value for money. The hotel itself is somewhat dated, but that in itself was it's charm.

The staff were all extremely helpful and courteous. The in-house continental breakfast was adequate.

The rooms themselves were reasonably spacious and clean. Each floor has a common balcony overlooking the pool, that is accessed from each room by a single door and although it had the potential to be noisy, it wasn't. The beds were reasonably comfortable and all other items in the room, including TV worked well.

The bathroom was adequate and clean, with the only downside being the height of the shower and the poor water pressure, particularly given that we were only on the third floor.

The pool was great and clean.

Overall I would certainly stay here again.

“Central & Reasonably Priced”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 February 2012

The hotel is central but to the southern end of the city. Can walk into main shopping area if the urge comes.
The reception is good, get you in quickly.
For what you are paying for, it is a good value option.
If you are looking for good amenities they have them and the rooms are a decent size.
For the sports minded the park is straight across the street.
Supermarket and bottle shop around the corner in Gilbert Street.
If you are looking for something to eat head towards Pulteney Street where there are a few restaurants to choose from.
Not bad if you are on a budget.

Dear Moork001

Thankyou for providing a review on your recent stay at Chifley on South Terrace. I am pleased you enjoyed your visit.

As well as strolling into the CBD, Rundle Mall & Central Market areas, there is a FREE tram with the nearest stop approximately 500m from the hotel - very convenient and for those with a car this also saves on parking fees.

Gouger Street, which is a walk of about 7 minutes from the hotel, is one of Adelaide's finest dining precincts and we highly recommend a visit if time permits. China Town and the Central Market is also another area worth visiting and is adjacent to Gouger Street.

We look forward to welcoming you back when next you visit.

Kind Regards

“Good value accommodation in Adelaide”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

This property is conveniently located on the edge of the CBD, walking distance from the Mall or take the free tram. Rooms are spacious and well appointed and we had no problems with noise. The pool area is spacious and very welcome in January. Restaurant in the hotel only does breakfast and the bar was shut but there are p[plenty of options near by.

Room Tip: Close to the free tram to the city centre. Plenty of eating options nearby.
