4-Star Hotels in South Australia, Australia

Ibis Adelaide was a great location that was central to shops, groceries, transit, restaurants and cool sites. The hotel was clean and tidy. The room was bright. The air conditioning/heating feature was pleasant. Having a big screen tv in the room was nice for relaxing after a long day of site seeing. I will be sure to stay at Ibis hotels for my future travels

Basecamp Hostel is a good place with a welcoming structure, but there are a few things that could be improved. I’ve stayed here a couple of times before, but they didn’t consider my request to stay in the same room. Some other guests had issues with the air conditioning in their room, which wasn’t working quite inconvenient for them. Additionally, towels are locked, and you can’t take one yourself. Having access to only one towel per day is not enough. I also asked if they could store a suitcase for about a month while I traveled to Bali, but they said no. I think the hostel could be more flexible and offer additional services, especially for returning guests. Overall, it was a positive experience, but there’s definitely room for improvement in customer care and amenities.

The hotel is located on a side road which is easily missed.We had to take another turn to locate it. Car parking is at a public location just down the road. The hotel which is fairly new is well equipped and conveniently located within walking distance of Rundle Mall and the train station. The only complaint I have is that the water draining from the shower area may overflow into the toilet area and entrance to the toilet. Apart from this minor issue,the hotel is excellent in most aspects. The staff are responsive and pleasant. As a side note,Club 129 down the alley and opposite the train station,serves a decent meal with promotions throughout the week.

We stayed a Fri and Sat night in a balcony king room on second floor. Room was spacious and we loved the bath-through-the door Japanese vibe. Our balcony did look out onto Frome St (and the carpark across the road) - however the street is wide and there are vistas to the Adelaide hills and Botanic gardens in between buldings, so that was not a problem. Room was quiet, bed excellent, staff helpful. The huge pros of this hotel are the location - just off Rundle St, but at the quiet end. And being able to take our own wine and snacks up to the 5th floor roof garden to enjoy the view in the evenings. (Fridge is small, but adequate for storing wine and snacks!) Did not try the in-house restaurant because there are so many gorgeous eateries on lower Rundle St - and goodies to buy from the Adelaide market! A great, honest, unpretentious hotel offering sanctuary and calm. Highly recommended.

Excellent location, easy walking distance to amenities and public transport. Had to log into our own Prime and Netflix as it wasn't available on our TV. The bathroom was clean but quite tired, with a cracked sink and a fixed showerhead. Despite it being a queen room, there was ever only one set of cutlery provided. Having said that, we still appreciated our stay and would say that it was good value for money.

The rooms are very clean. Area not noise and the staff are civil and very friendly. The facilities are modern. Good value for the money. Tom's hotel is cheaper despite the facilities being top notch or world class. I will definitely return to Tom's Court Hotel. A very good place to spend your holiday.

Got a good rate on ***********. stayed 3 nites midweek. Receptionist short with us on signing in, could have been more cheerful and friendly. Room VERY comfortable, spotlessly clean and sunny, well lit with natural light. Wall heater kept the place comfy day and nite. Bathroom comfy & well appointed. Had everything we needed inclding microwave

Well reviewed hotel, which we found disappointing. Firstly, on arrival (we arrived around 11am), at check-in we were told that our room wasn't ready so the receptionist after reminding us that check-in was at 3pm, stored away our luggage and promised to text us when the room was ready, we went for a walk, after having lunch, about 2.5 hours later, we went back and the room still wasn't ready, after an hours waiting in the reception area and watching guests checking in without any problem my wife (again) asked when our room was ready, her reply was that the room had been ready for some time and she thought that we were relaxing, so she didn't want to disturb us ( no text either) - really! Our stay was bed with breakfast, breakfast menu we thought was prescriptive, we had a choice of tea/coffee or orange juice couldn't have both as it was extra, throughout the breakfasts, chef found it impossible to fry an egg without charring it. The pool which is shown in the picture is small, get your fitness bunny in and that's it, then again we found it filthy, looking on the side wall there was a 2” (50mm) black, thick tide mark all around the inside of the pool and 'bits' on the floor so it seems cleanliness isn't top of the list, which comes to our room, nice sized and comfortable, but why the cleaner couldn't clean our room when he was either next door or the room facing was puzzling even though we put our tag on our door. A thing we found with regard to the reviews of this hotel I found that quite a few of these were people from Adelaide who not only gave this hotel 5 stars, but only ever did one review - hmm? The hotel is situated about a 10/15 minute walk from the centre of town and appeared to be a popular place to stay amongst the business fraternity

Lovely, clean apartment, excellent location for walking around Adelaide CBD. I stayed here for 4 nights with my partner and 4 year old, we had a 2 bedroom apartment. Excellent value. The apartment was very clean, has a kitchen containing most things you would need, although we didn't actually cook any meals, just used plates etc for serving take away, so can't comment on the cooking equipment. Full size fridge, plus a dishwasher, washing machine and dryer, and hair dryer meant the apartment was very well equipped overall. The Tv is a smart TV so we could use abc kids for our 4 year old and presumably you could log in to your own streaming services. The only thing to take note of is that the desk is only manned during business hours and there is no check in option after 9pm, I didn't realise this (my fault for not checking), so we had to book a cheap hotel near the airport for our first night as we flew in after 10pm. We checked in around 9am the next day. It's a short walk to Rundle Mall so you have lots of eating and shopping very close by. Parking available in secure carpark $25 per night, but do make sure you book ahead as there are limited spaces.

The room was comfy; The TV was a good size; The bed was a king size & good to sleep on. We had a buffet breakfast & dinner each day. The staff managed to keep up the service. The food was ok. The staff was extremely busy & run off their feet. A big thank you to Christian & Jane for looking after us. The site is the perfect location. Close to the city & landmarks. An ideal base to travel from to tourist destinations. We loved it.

Do NOT GO to the restaurant, Koomo, on the 10th floor for dinner. The worst service we have had in any Crowne Plaza, or in any restaurant in Adelaide, and the most incompetent management to fix a very trivial issue. Last night my wife and I had booked a table for 6 people - two clients and two colleagues from Sydney and Perth.  The restaurant was about half full when we arrived. There were only 2 waitresses working in the restaurant, and it took us more than half an hour to be given menus, and a wine order to be taken.  It took another 20 minutes, after asking many times, for our food order to be taken. Two of our guests ordered a la carte from the menu,  and the other four wanted to try the ”tasting menu” - more expensive than the al la carte menu, with various preset courses. This is where things really started to go wrong. The tasting menu consisted of a choice between beef and chicken. Three people wanted beef and the other person wanted chicken.We were told by the waitress that the kitchen would not cook only one chicken for one person, and that two people would have to have this - in other words the four people could be served either all beef, or 2 chicken + 2 beef, but not 1 chicken and 3 beef. We really thought the waitress was joking, but realised she was serious. We asked her, very politely, if she could have a word with the kitchen and try to arrange this ”difficult” request. Some 15 minutes later the waitress returned and told us that it was not possible and the kitchen was not prepared to cook only one portion of chicken - it must be two portions and somebody else in our group wanting beef should cancel his beef and eat chicken instead. We asked to see the manager to see if he could sort this out, and very clearly told the waitress that if we could not get the food we wanted from the menu, then we would leave and go to another restaurant. No manager came to see us, but the waitress returned and told us that she had discussed with the manager and that the kitchen still refused to cook only one portion of chicken. We were not impressed. We paid the bill for the wine,  put on our coats and left the restaurant. As we were leaving someone from management (hotel or restaurant?) came to us and asked if we could reconsider and stay, and he would ”try” and convince the kitchen. Too late - our first experience of trying the Koomo restaurant had already been spoiled - poor service from the beginning and no feeling whatsoever for handling customers, and not any attempt to fix the very minor point of what we wanted to order by the management, until we were actually leaving.  I do not blame the waitress - she was caught in the middle with no support from the kitchen staff or the management. This is absolutely a management issue - one of making sure that all staff are trying their best to give good service to their customers, especially if the restaurant is selling itself as a high end one. Needless to say none of the six of us will go back,  and a

We stopped over at Mount Gambier on our way from Adelaide to Melbourne and stayed at the Studio Spa Suite at The Commodore. The location was great, and you can easily walk to nearby attractions such as the cave garden. Lots of food options nearby as well. The jacuzzi in the room was spacious and made our short stopover exceptionally relaxing. Would love to visit Mount Gambier and The Commodore again.

We recently stayed at the Presidential Motel and will never stay there again or recommend anyone stay there again. We checked in on Thursday, 24th February 2022 to a lady who was very rude. She advised me as I was booking in that they would be charging me a $200.00 pre-authorisation damages fee that would cover any damages to the room. I asked her why this was the case and she advised that it was standard through booking.com and booking.com charged this on all booking.com bookings. I advised her that I used booking.com on all my bookings and have never been charged a damages fee. She was quite rude and ended up charging me $150.00 after admitting that it was the hotels preference to charge customers a damages fee not booking.com. I want to the room with friends to put my luggage away. 2 cleaners were cleaning the room beside my room. They asked me if I was booking into the room that they were cleaning and advised them that I was booking into Room 48. 1 of the cleaners advised that she would do a check of the room to see if it was ready to be booked. She unlocked the room and went inside to do a check. She advised me that the fridge had to be stocked. I asked her if I could take some blankets as it was cold and she said yes. She showed me the cupboards where the blankets were and I removed 2 blankets from the cupboard that was encased in white bags. These bags were carried out to the boot of my car. The door closed behind me and I thought I had left the swipe card in the room. I asked the cleaner could she unlock the room for me, which she did. The cleaner then went back to the room next door to finish her cleaning. (Approval of using the blankets were witnessed by 4 people that were with me). On Friday, 25th February 2022 I received a missed call from 08 8724 9966 at 12:24 pm. I returned this call and was greeted by a man advising that he was the manager of the Presidential Motel and had been advised by his cleaner that the blankets had not been returned to the room. I advised him that the blankets were still in the car as I grabbed them because my kids were cold. He asked where I was and I told him that I was at the speedway. He spat the dummy stating that they could not be at the speedway and had to be returned to the motel so they wouldn’t get dirty. I told him that they wouldn’t get dirty because we were parked in the pits and the blankets were kept in the car for the kids to use. He said that they would get grease etc on them because we were at the speedway. I again advised him that this wouldn’t be the case because they were in the car. Our kids were racing go karts, which doesn’t have grease etc like the cars would. I told him that I would return the blankets to the room and told him I had to go. I then hung up the phone. On Friday, 25th February 2022 when we returned to the room it was late and I forgot to remove the blankets from the boot (that had still not been used and were still in the white bags). We we

The Barn Hotel and Steak 🥩 house is around 10 Minutes out of Mount Gambier town, we arrived there from Port Fairy and had booked a 1 bed room / suite. We choose to stay here on our Road trip for 1 night, and also eat at the barn steak restaurant, as apparently the food is to die for. On arrival we were greeted by a very friendly receptionist who explained where our room was and how to get to it, a couple of minutes drive away to a row of converted barns. The terraced apartment was very spacious, clean and fresh, it had all we needed for a short stay, very comfortable bed, ample room, a medium size fridge. Free parking was right outside. The bathroom comprised of both bath and walk in rain shower with ample toiletries. Outside was a small garden area with seating. Back in the main building there was a small comfortable bar area which lead on to the restaurant. The menu is dominated with various steak 🥩 dish’s, we choose to avoid starters as looking at the plates of the other dinners we certainly wouldn’t have done justice to the main meal. This came up excellently presented, the steak 🥩 I had was probably the best I had ever eaten. It’s not cheap, nor is it too expensive either compared to the food dished up in the UK. If I lived within 50 miles of this place it would most definitely be a restaurant I would frequent at least once a month.

What a remarkable find in a town with a high number of motels to choose from! From the outset the deciding factor to stay here was simple: the heated indoor pool - 5 stars for this alone after some 2 weeks on the road. The added bonus was a finding this gem in Mt Gambier - easy booking system, lovely welcoming staff member, a very comfortable 2 bedroom unit, the most comfortable beds we had slept in, a noise-free night and within a few minutes walk, a great Australian pub - “The South Eastern” offering fantastic food. A fantastic experience all at a modest price!!!

Parking is very convenient, in fact, it is a standard motel, chain type, but it is not coincident that when we came to him during the renovation, the overall equipment is old, the luminosity is not enough, the right to stay overnight. But very close to the supermarket worthwool.

We arrived at this cabin park without a booking. The staff member checking us in was extremely helpful in finding the best available cabin for our circumstances. The cabins in this park are being progressively upgraded / renovated. Although the cabin we stayed in was unrenovated, it was very clean, spacious and comfortable, with all of the facilities we required (gas oven and cooktop, microwave, toaster, kettle, all cutlery, crockery and glassware). There was also cabin park laundry with new quality washing machines and dryers. Very reasonably priced. Would recommend.

Perfect Country Escape, only minutes away from the conveniences of My Gambier but it feels like it is worlds away, wake to the calls of the birdlife, a short stroll along the road and you’ll see all of Ol’ McDonalds Farm Animals. A perfect home base for exploring the Limestone Coast, or to simply unplug from the world while watching the fire burn with a cuppa

Loved spending the night in a place with history. Lots of information about the goal located around the site. The room as expected was small- it was a goal cell after all. The bed was comfortable- a double so giants beware. Any larger would not fit the room :) The heater warmed the room nicely. The kitchen area was clean and had what we needed. Lots of styles of cells to choose from. Having courtyards the goal would suit a group of friends or family get together. I understand you can hire the full complex. Good walking distance to the city pubs. Parking out the front. Some rooms have shared facilities. Remember, you are booking an experience. I your after luxury then this is not the place for you.

My wife and I recently stayed at the Colhurst House, a beautiful and charming accommodation conveniently situated near Mount Gambier's city center. The location proved to be ideal, within walking distance of various shops and restaurants. The room itself was pleasant and well-maintained, complete with the added perk of a tea and Nespresso coffee machine. While my overall experience was positive, I regretfully cannot award the hotel a perfect 5-star rating due to some issues encountered during the check-in process. After a long and tiring drive, the anticipation of a seamless check-in was dashed when we arrived and found no one at the reception desk. It turned out that the hotel had tried to contact me earlier, but since I had an international number, they were unable to reach me over the phone. A simple email or phone call (or whatapp number) with check in instructions would have alleviated this situation. Unfortunately, the situation escalated when my email to the hotel went unanswered for more than 30 minutes. Frustrated, I had no choice but to make an expensive international call, which eventually resolved the matter. Thankfully, a kind staff member promptly arrived to assist with the check-in process after the call. Another minor inconvenience was the absence of details regarding the Wi-Fi password in the room. A straightforward sign with this information would have resolved the issue without any hassle. Once again, I resorted to sending an email for the password but, disappointingly, received no response. This forced me to make another call, urgently requesting a reply to my email.

This a private place with 4 suites. No one is on site so you need to time your arrival with them. We got off on the wrong foot as we arrived earlier and there was a time change on our drive that we were unaware of. They were lovely and patient and we loved our suite which was huge, with a sitting room and bathroom with a tub and lovely amenities. This is not really a boutique hotel as advertised but more like an house - there was a big kitchen, a laundry room and a pool table upstairs. The breakfast hamper was wonderful! Delivered when we asked for it and included all kinds of amazing goodies. Wish we could have stayed another night but we were just passing through.

The Villas on the Bay at Kingscote had a great 2 bedroom villa that totally suited our needs for the short few days that we were there. As a kind of self-contained unit, it was modern and clean, with all the kitchen necessities you'd want (although we hardly used them as we ate out most of the time). The bedrooms were large and the beds super comfortable. My only gripe was that the pillows had almost no stuffing in them. I think a rolled up sweater would be more plump! But the heating worked well and our villa was very snug and quiet. The chairs and couch begged you to rest in them and never leave. All the management and front desk staff were brilliant and helped with almost every thing we needed from pre-booking, to check-in and departure. I cannot speak more highly of them and their customer focus. In terms of location, it was perfect. Easy walk (though we were lazy and drove) to the great shops and restaurants. No need to venture far at all. And as far as the top tourism sites and things to see and do, Kingscote is an amazing place to be based. Everything seems a comfortable drive away. You can really achieve and see a lot using the Villas on the Bay as a springboard.

The property is situated in a great location, offering privacy as well as a great ocean view. The food is excellent, the staff friendly and helpful. The property in general and the guest room in particular are a little jaded, would greatly benefit from sprucing up if not a refurbishment - for example, a modern more functional shower head would add to guest comfort, and a newer hair dryer will go a long way to making the property feel fresher and more commensurate with the room tariff.

Although the price is a bit expensive, the environment is first-class and the bed and quilt are comfortable. It's right next to the pier, just a few minutes' walk away from the boat. If you arrive around 6:30, you can drive to Kingscote, which happens to be the time for kangaroo activity in the evening, so you can easily find kangaroos along the way. The edge of the pier is suitable for tourists arriving after dark The picture below shows the view from the balcony of a sea view room

It's very close to the national park. There are everything in the small house, so you have to buy it yourself. There are many koalas on the surrounding trees, and koalas go down from time to time at night.
