Adelaide Riviera Hotel

Adelaide Riviera Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Loved staying here as so close to the cbd by free tram. Very friendly staff, always with a greeting and a smile. We were upgraded which was a lovely surprise. I'm a very light sleeper, so next time I'll request a room away from the main road. I will be staying again in December so shows how much I like it👍 Great price and great room."

"A lovely hotel in a central location. Great amenities, rooms and bathrooms are great, cold water fountain in the corridor, easy parking, it's just not recommended to go out/come back too late due to the party strip."

"I was pleasantly surprised at how lovely the Rockford is. The rooms are a little dated but everything was lovely, the staff are some of the nicest, friendliest people I have ever encountered in a hotel. The breakfast buffet was wonderful, easy parking and close walk to Rundle Mall. Will definitely stay again."
