Testimonials

Wouldn't stay anywhere else when in Adelaide. Hotel is in a great location, tram and train plus buses right outside the door. The hotel has excellent facilities, great rooms, a lovely indoor pool. The Lounge offers yummy food as does the restaurant which does a lovely breakfast. The staff are extremely accommodating. Will definitely be back.
Nomad Farms collaboration menu dinner... Love that the Playford have the 3 hour free parking when you dine in. The food was exquisite. With this menu, it's great produce done simply and therefore you can't hide any mistakes. The jus with the chicken was the kind you just want to drink. All the flavours and seasoning were well balanced… Loved it.
The service provided by staff at The Playford is nothing but sensational. Our stay was relaxing and so special. Thank you!
Outstanding! One of our favourite hotels in Australia. Our hotel of choice in Adelaide over decades now.
The best! Everyone was friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble, the suite large and comfortable. The bed dreamy. Dined at the restaurant and was very impressed, the vegetarian menu was delicious and the accompanying wines superb. This is one of the best boutique hotels I've stayed at. When I return to Adelaide, I will definitely be staying here again. Thank you!
