Stamford Grand Adelaide Hotel

Booked a city view king room. What a wonderful view of the city lights. What a wonderful location. Convenient to Jetty Road and tram into the CBD. Plenty of dining options within a short walk. On arrival, the staff were friendly and helpful. Room was huge and very clean. Ordered room service and it was prompt to arrive. Unfortunately the meals were underwhelming and overpriced. Booked buffet breakfast special for $25 and it was great value for money. The only downside was the noise/music coming from Jetty Road until quite late on Friday night. Assume it would be the same on a Saturday night too. Would happily stay here again but would try for an Ocean View suite instead. The Grand is not cheap but worth it.Highly recommend

the T.V played a massive part in my negative review. there was no on demand movies like listed. there was no chrome cast to borrow so we could use our own movies. there was no way to long into my own subscription services and use them. there was nothing but normal tv with adds. ||the internet. it was shockingly bad. not only was it basically useless, it would make you log back into the internet every 30 minutes. i ended up using my own and that was way better. ||the shower head was very pour quality. i think that is something that needs to be updated asap. || the light were confusing at first||dinner in the dining room was very pretty and the servers were lovely and knowable but sadly the meals were just over priced and SO SMALL. we only chose to go to dinner at the hotel due to the free drink attachment. the drink was lovely and so was the canapes. the food was nice but for the price i expected larger sizes. ||we also got the breakfast included. which i was pretty surprised it was just a food buffey. pancakes came from some machine no one wanted to touch and looked odd. it was extra for a real coffee despite already having the staff on hand to just make everyone a coffee (or at least include it in the breakfast when i paid extra for it) the coffee that was provided tasted horrible. the food over all was okay. the range was good and how much available was good but sadly the lights and metal tins dried everything out. the bacon looked like rubber.||the bed in the room was really comfortable. the view was lovely. ||a good way to improve would be better internet, better tv services or at least have chrome cast on hand.

The staff at the Grand are very friendly, the location is excellent - views from both the city and ocean side are very good. Surrounded by fantastic restaurants and nice walking paths along the foreshore. There is convenient parking in the multilevel car park adjacent and it’s an easy tram trip into the Adelaide city centre.|The hotel is a bit old now and the facilities and rooms whilst extremely clean, very comfortable and well-kept feel like it needs some modernising. The gaming machines are ancient and should be updated. Being gluten free/coeliac the in-house restaurant and bar menus need some work – not many gf options, however they do a pretty good job at the buffet breakfast – most hot items are gf and they will make delicious omelettes a-la-minute. Apart from that it’s gf banana bread, fruit, yoghurt. Having said that, The Grand is probably our favourite hotel to stay at in Adelaide/Glenelg and we would happily stay there again, we really enjoy our time at the Grand.

This is not the first time I stayed in this hotel. Love the spot. It gets a bit outdated, but still good. Was disappointed with service. The guy at the reception refused to match the internet price, so I had to spend time going through booking on the phone. It was 20% different so it was worth it to go through booking process.

We attended a Grand High Tea on Saturday 20 April at the Stamford Grand in Adelaide. The food was average, the service was poor as we had to ask the waiters continuously for cups of tea. There was us four girls and another table with three ladies. It was not like they were flat out. We thought for $200 we should have got more. We each got one of each item and the food was nothing to boost about. We will be looking elsewhere for a high tea and better service experience.

We had a lovely time at the Stamford Grand - the location is excellent for getting around Adelaide, the room was spacious with a lovely view. The hotel team are all very polite and friendly. We didn’t book the breakfast and instead were out and about around Adelaide during the days. One thing to note for guests - there’s a lively bar that plays music which you can hear very easily in the rooms until about midnight. It didn’t bother us at all (and would probably also be great if you were using the bar yourself!) but something to think about if it’s really not your cup of tea.

It’s a beautiful place but they are always understaffed and expect their employees to do so much. Today I witnessed a young lady that works there get told off for filling the buffet and to do something else, ever since that young lady left the buffet there was no food left. The buffet was left empty it looked like scraps of food. The young lady came back to quickly do the buffet and got told off (by her manager I’m assuming) no one was doing the buffet. Despite the fact she was getting told off she still had a smile on her face. I felt so sorry for her she was so kind my daughter loved her and thinks her hair is very cool. You should always treat your employees with respect they have feelings too.

Good hotel, friendly and accommodating staff. Nice Buffet breakfast. had an issue with our room initially but were upgrade for small cost by the manager which was nice

So many times have I been here for wedding receptions so it was a nice change for a bride-to-be to have her hens night starting off with an Afternoon High Tea. A glass of sparkling white was served to everyone at our table and the delicious trio plate of delectables were soon eaten. There was plenty of food to go around.

GOLDEN OLDIE ! My wife and I stayed here many moons ago when we lived in North Adelaide, SA. We actually took the historic Tram from Adelaide which was a ton of fun ! It's a lovely hotel with great food, good service and a nice vibe. We were hanging out at a fun jazz festival just outside when someone offered to take our photo. Glenelg is a fun town next to the ocean with lots of interesting things to see and do. Put it on your list !

Stayed here in a Ocean View room with balcony. I found that it was more suited for one person. As there was one robe. Snacks for one and so on. The water pressure was amazing in the shower. We ordered room service that was actually really nice very filling. The bed was amazing. Very comfortable. The spa was great but would be better suited if the pool was heated more. And the roof was covered was cold sitting in a hot spa. We did how ever find a hair on the towels in the bathroom but aside from that our stay was nice and was nice to get away.

We had lunch at the bar side. The prices were extremely high and the food wasn't really that great. My kid had soggy fish and chips. The view is nice and you can sit outside but was disappointed overall.

Awesome location, faultless service. The room was fabulous, clean and spacious. Check in and out was seamless. Can't beat both the view and proximity to top class restaurants, the beach and the tram. On our first morning we needed a quick light breakfast before our wine tour. The lovely attendant allowed us to do coffee and croissants as opposed to the full buffet breakfast. Very flexible. The coffee was even good. There's an amusement park with a merry go round, bumper cars, mini golf and a mini kids train all inside. Plus a very cute Ferris wheel within a stones through. Plus awesome shopping. Prices were reasonable too. They even allowed us to slip the bill across two credit cards and stored our luggage after we'd checked out. I recommend this hotel.

Glenelg was one of the first places I visited in Adelaide six years ago, and I was well overdue for another trip. Lounging in the shade of a Norfolk island pine tree, I noticed some other picnicking groups with high tea stands. "Gee they're organised" I thought to myself. Then I noticed the empty stands being returned to the Stamford Grand. Amazing, an al fresco high tea on the beach. Of course the lure of savouries, sweets and a coffee on a picnic rug was far too tempting. Despite not having a booking, the waitress at The Promenade restaurant inside the Stamford Grand Glenelg was able to seat us for a few minutes while a picnic blanket and High Tea stand were readied. A variety of High Tea packages with different inclusions are on offer, and we opted for the basic High Tea for two. My first impressions were that the Stamford staff were very organised with their al fresco high teas, providing a picnic blanket and hot drinks in takeaway cups. Secondly, the volume of food on our High Tea for two was very generous, plenty enough for three people to enjoy. Three kinds of double-decker ribbon sandwiches made up the bottom tier, ham and pickles, smoked salmon on brown bread, and multigrain with cucumber, avocado & tomato. They were all tasty, generous in filling, and of course without any crusts. The middle tier was comprised of three different cakes, fruit custard tartlets, Belgian chocolate mousse cakes, and raspberry lime "chiboust" which reminded me of junket in texture. The tear shaped chocolate cakes were outstanding, light mousse with shiny ganache topping on a thin cake base. Rounding out the high tea was eight, still warm, drop scones with strawberry jam or to my delight Belgian chocolate sauce. For a treat by the beach with a touch of class, you could do far worse than to try high tea picnic. Having tried it outdoors, it's the way I want to take all my future high teas!

Have been staying here every year, for over a week at a time, over Christmas and New Year, for the last 6 years. Awesome rooms. Awesome staff.

I really liked this hotel but today I discovered they do not have guest laundry. I come here for 2 weeks at a time. It's really a shame because I like everything about this hotel except that, and it's a deal breaker. I will book elsewhere because of that.

Location, location, location! The Grand is visible from so far away. If your lucky enough, or rather rich enough, to book one of the upper level rooms facing the beachfront the views are absolutely amazing! Rooms are of course very nice. Service is what I would call upper class style. They do a great job considering how busy they get down there in summer especially. On New Years Eve you can barely move in the place they have so many different functions going on in different area's. It's a great atmosphere though and perfect location right at the end of the tram line and Jetty Road, right at the start of the jetty itself and surrounded by beautiful beachfront, heaps of shops and plenty of entertainment. They have also gotten involved in activities at the Bay with things like people abseiling down the side from the top. I have also spotted some celebrities here!

I think the Stamford Grand is one of the better hotel destinations in SA, especially in Glenelg. I agree with Michelle, try and snag a beachfront balcony, as the views are breathtaking. I've had nothing but fantastic service each and every time I've stayed here, but for the price, you'd expect nothing short of exceptional. The rooms are lovely and spacious, with modern furnishings, and luxury amenities. If you are planning a trip to Glenelg, keep checking wotif. They often had really good deals.

Thoroughly enjoyed High Tea for my Birthday recently! Good value for money and the food was yummy! Service was Great!

The Stamford Grand Adelaide is something of an Adelaide establishment, having been around for ~20 years right on Glenelg Beach. The hotel has been the venue for countless weddings and school formals over the years, but the property is not looking too tired and provides a solid 'Stamford' service experience. The rooms are clean, and get an ocean view room if you can as the views are stunning! The gym is well equipped, and the pool is nice (albeit crowded with kids when we went). Wi-fi is a bit expensive, but for a beach holiday you should stay offline anyway!

The Stamford Grand holds various purposes including perfect night and day settings. Most commonly I have attended weddings here, and for that I really do think The Grand is exquisite. The foyer remains extravagant for Adelaide standards, with staff in full chauffeur uniform. There is also a grand piano playing various classical tunes, and often by a ghost of a piano player. The views are stunning, and the venue setting contains a large balcony which overlook a beautiful dark sea. The function rooms are not cheap however definitely capable of holding a special day filled with perfect memories. Although I have never stayed within a hotel room here, I have dined before and recommend eating here, especially breakfast. There is a beautiful buffet, which is best enjoyed whilst sitting within the outdoor ground balcony, and on a lovely warm day. Note: Times vary.

Worst hotel experience I have ever had, the rudest of staff I have ever delt with!! They messed up, didnt give me what I booked, they provided false info, tried to make me out to be a liar about the room I booked saying I hadnt booked that room, I called the company who I booked through to confirm what I had booked and they told me I was correct in what I booked. Then I put my sign out for house keeping... room was never cleaned, called to ask why, they said someone would be straight up to clean it... never happened, waited an hour then had to go out to get ready for my birthday party, get back to my room to have had my room finally cleaned, but now my room key didnt work, has to call the front desk to have someone recode a key and bring it up, which took for ever. Moved the beds to the most disgusting mess and filth under them. Worst experience ever. Will never recommend or go back again. Spoke to the manager and the managers boss and not even offered anything for the inconvenience, not a meal voucher or even a drink voucher, they just said sorry there's nothing we can do. Absolute bull****
