Most part very good experience I had here however I didn't enjoy how people under 15 can't work out I'm trying to work out and can't because of it and also how you can't refund breakfast when we accidentally bought it read more

5 start hotel just not up to scratch. Firstly, this is not a whingefest, just a really disappointing experience which I find inexcusable for a 5 star hotel. Lot of little things resulted in a poor stay. - stained sheets (rust or blood) which we were promised would be changed immediately, but an hour later still nothing done. - restaurant (Riverside) just not on par. From giving away our table one morning after we'd been seated to having my breakfast delivered to the wrong table the next, non-existent service and limited dinner menu, it was just not good enough. - incorrect information bring given by concierge about availability of hire bikes - beds had a distinct ridge in the middle (no doubt result of 2 singles being pushed together) which made it very uncomfortable In short, it says 5 stars, but it really isn't and probably shouldn't market itself as such. read more

Totally lives up to the InterContinental brand! The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The gym is better than most hotel gyms - spacious with plenty of equipment. The on-site food options are great. Do not miss the breakfast buffet! It's also in a great location, very convenient to a ton of spots! read more

The intercontinental Adelaide is located in the city centre. It is seconds away from the convention centre and walking distance to rundle st mall. The streets nearby have a range of cafe and restaurant options. The hotel itself has a light yellowy brown decor. The staff are friendly. It is quick to check in. Breakfast is served in their Riverview restaurant and includes a breakfast buffet with a coffee machine that spits out vittoria coffee and hot chocolate. There are a broad range of tea options in tea leaves form (you get your own little teapot) or tea bag form. Breakfast includes the usual western breakfast options such as eggs, sausages, hash browns, tomatoes, mushrooms, cereal, granola etc. What's new though is that you can use their juice machine and squeeze out fresh juices in a few minutes. They also daily serve an Indian delicious tasting vegetarian potato curry with paratha. Yumm. The room itself had a comfy double bed, a work desk and chair and a couch. A massive room for one person. The bathroom contains a large bathtub and the bath products provided contain lemon balm (such a refreshing smell). The hotel contains a fitness centre, a pool, restaurant and bar. When you enter the hotel you might even get to try one of the restaurant's gourmet dishes. I had the chance to try duck Confit with quinoa. Yumm. read more

Being a visitor to Adelaide a few times now I am getting more familiar with the area but not the hotels. So, I left this one up to the travel agent and wow what a great place this is, especially for the price. In the USA you could touch a room this nice for even $100 more a night. The view, bar, floor to ceiling tiled bathroom with both a tub and shower are all reasons to stay here. They also throw in a fully stocked fridge (not complimentary), bath robes and a variety of snack options to purchase in the room for that late nite craving. No complaints from me and I will certainly be back. Enjoy! read more

I use to be a regular at this property when it was a hyatt. Once it was taken over and rebranded I stayed twice at intercont. The first I gave them a pass allowing for teething problems the second was the nail. The staff are so rude that I was honestly at times during my 2 week stay in shock. I found myself coming down with a cold so thought a hot bath with bath salts might help. I called down and was told I had reached my quota of bath salts for my stay. WHAT??? That was just one of the many many issues. The only thing I liked was their club lounge because it was empty, not even staffed. For refreshments you would pick up a house phone and tell the kitchen what you wanted and it would be sent up. Perfect, if only bath salts were as easy to come by read more

31/12/2010 Intercontinental Adelaide (Formally known as the Hyatt) is officially the best hotel in North Terrace Adelaide. I was here for one of my close friend's birthday party and I gotta say this place is swanky nice! I knew before going in that mixing it up with crazy friends in such a well-behaved hotel didn't feel right... but Intercontinental managed to accommodate a room full of young drunk European, Australian, Asian men that I've never met before, sleazy girlfriends, best friends that you've known from growing up in Adelaide, who immediately bonded over discussions about....school, drinking, sex, watching soccer in the hotel room, and hearing about random unnecessary fights in the city (that had nothing to do with us). There was no limit to the bottles of alcohol my friends bought. But somehow the setting of Intercontinental kept it all real classy despite all the chaos. What I really liked about this hotel was that the security guards are quick in telling us all off, if we were too noisy or out of control. Thanks guys! The drinking didn't help as friends disappeared and disconnected from the group as we all went our separate drunken ways. The night was crazy, I somehow lost all my friends by the end of the night, stranded in front of the Intercontinental, and had to call another friend to take me home 4am. Lucky when you say "I'm front of the Hyatt", most people in Adelaide will know where you are. It was, indeed, an AWESOME birthday for my friend Chris. I will not forget that night! read more

InterContinental Adelaide - Hotels Near Me - Adelaide, SA

Great service, attractive lobby, but pretty average rooms given the price. Room rate for a 2 single bed room was $325 and $375 for a king. Beds were too firm and had no mattress toppers. I expect a more comfortable bed from a room in this price range. The octagonal shaped rooms provide less usable space than a conventional shaped room. The woodwork in the room has seen better days. While a distressed look my look appealing on certain antiques, it was not intended here. A couple beaten up furniture items had been painted over, when they should have been replaced. No bathroom scales, no magnifying mirror. I liked the orange marble floor and shower. The shower fixture was identical to the one we had when I was a kid, it drooped and didn't work that well when I was a kid as well. Guys, new Kohler shower fixtures only cost $50 and work much better. The gym was excellent. It has a comprehensive set of Nautilus machines, bikes, treadmills and free weights. This is a renovated Hyatt, but they don't seem to have spent enough on the renovation. The guest rooms are not bad, but for this room rate should be better. On the positive side I love the location, it is a quick 3 block walk to the Rundall Mall. read more

Adelaide really doesn't have any of those hotels that are just so fancy you feel as if you are a squillionaire oil baroness with a suitcase full of diamonds. Probably not much call for it to be honest. The festival city is more cheap and cheerful than shangri-la. That said, the Intercontinental is probably the swishest large scale hotel we have. Located on the cultural / accomodation boulevard of North Terrace it is convenient to all CBD attractions and located on the tramline so tourists will find it convenient to visit the bay (Glenelg) from here. I've stayed here on a few occassions when it was the Hyatt and once since being bought by the Intercontinental group. Of course, when staying in a hotel in ones own city the reasons are usually far from pure and the whole purpose is to indulge and be pampered. The rooms are of a high standard although not all are glitzy and glamourous, even the basic ones are clean with fairly respectable views and deliciously high thread counted sheets. The in house massage service is great and the gym is basic but has an assortment of machinery and weights. The food available from room service is to die for and I've even had fun ordering from the kids menu - best cheese burger I've ever eaten! So my recommendation is to check out lastminute.com and treat yourself to a night in. Real fancy food in a white terry towling robe is just my idea of heaven! read more

I stayed at the InterContinental during a trip through Australia. It was recommended by a travel agent as we were traveling to and from Kangaroo Island (Island 30 min flight from Adelaide). We stayed here two nights one before our trip to the island, and one after. On the first night, the hotel staff was friendly however our rooms were not ready and we were told they were doing a "final check" but would be ready in 10 minutes. They instructed us to go to the Lounge located on the 21st floor and would bring the keys right up. 35 minutes later we were still sitting there. I went back down to check with the front desk and one employee looked to the other employee and said "did you check up on those rooms?" He responded with "Nope." This seemed a bit unprofessional and then they had no idea who was staying in which rooms even though our reservation confirmation had all the information correct on it. The rooms were nice, the bathrooms were the nicest part of the room We dined at the restaurant Shiki which is located in the hotel. This is similar to a Habatchi style restaurant and was very good and quite pricey. During the second night after our trip to Kangaroo Island, our rooms were ready upon checking in and the staff was very friendly. read more

Breakfast? Meh. Lobby? Decent. Halls? Ew. Rooms? Who knows? Buffet breakfast; how do they treat their staff? Not a single happy face. None. Servers were unprofessional, often short and was not reasonable nor acceptable for White Cloth, expensive prices. The buffet was limited, the traditional breakfast, very average. No choice; nothing decent, went back three or four times and couldn't even get something decent so ordered pancakes and waffles. Gluten-free muffins. What are you doing? Tasteless... Pancakes. Worst thing ever. Inedible. The waffles were good though... Hopelessness now, hopeless. With-out a hope. Never going back. read more

To start with, I've been to few IC hotels around the world and this just doesn't feel the same. It feels like the old Hyatt, which I had been to as well. They have revamped the rooms a bit and definitely improved upon the linens. Other than that, not much has changed in the decor department. Check-in is always fast. Staff are constantly on hand to cater to your every whim. The piano bar off the lobby is decent but could be so much better. Probably depends on the crowd on the particular night as to your experience there. The buffet dinner is good but to be honest, it left a lot to be desired. Having had plenty of hotel buffet's over the years, this doesn't really stand out as great, like it should. The food is topped up after every last grain of rice is gone and you have to ask constantly if your favourite item of the evening is gone. Definitely not worth the price tag for the meal. Room rates are what you expect from IC and place it at the upper end for Adelaide. With the few drawbacks, I still rate this as 4 stars because it is definitely one of the best hotels in the city. read more

This Intercontinental is in a good location, right at Adelaide railway station, on the tram route and on the river. The city shops are just around the corner and there are several restaurants, cafes, bars and convenience stores within a few hundred metres. That's really good. The hotel itself has an impressive lobby and atrium, with nicely appointed bar and restaurant. When you get to the guest room area it looks a bit old and tired, with some cosmetic changes done to keep it from looking shabby. Rooms are nice, with higher rooms having views over the river, Oval and city streets. Bathroom is good. Great shower, good towels, hot water and pressure. Bed is very comfortable and furniture is good quality. House service is very good and restaurant food is good quality too. Overall it's fine and I'd come back here. read more

Okay so I stayed here with my mum on Australia Day this year. We came here because we wanted to watch the fireworks from the highest floor. We ended up doing that and it was terrific. We stayed on level 21 and because we stayed so high we got to be apart of club intercontinental which provides free drinks all day along with an afternoon tea and then a dinner thing. It also provides a free brekky. It was really fun there and the room was very clean. I loved the view we had from our room. Now, if you're looking to stay here then I advise you to go on trip advisor or one of those hotel compare sites. The reason why is because we paid 390 for one night on the 21st floor however a couple who also stayed one night and stayed on the same floor as us only paid 300. They also got the club intercontinental included. It goes to show that these hotel sites can save you a lot of dosh. I really enjoyed the food here and thought it all tasted great. I also loved the amount of vegetarian options they had. The staff were also really friendly and nice. I think that the pool should be on the roof of the intercontinental with a big screen fence around it so people can look at the view. There's also a gym at the intercontinental with lots of equipment. PS- the wifi didn't work in the room we were staying in so I used the wifi in the club intercontinental lounge a lot of the time read more

Fantastic. The room was great very accommodating. Daily clean of the room. Staff were very friendly and always willing to help and explain things clearly.

The pool was clean all sevices available. Definitely be back. I applaud your customer service and the cleanliness of your hotel. Price was even better. Thank you for a wonderful stay. read more

The hotel's decor is dated. The room is okay but the wi-fi there is hopeless. If you need to work with your laptop in your room, choose another hotel. The internet connection is very slow, or doesn't work at all. Stay here if you don't mind having to do all your work in the lobby. The system needs fixing. Good staff, very accommodating and professional. read more
