We decided on the Playford mainly for position. What a great surprise, Great old fashioned service from the moment you step in the door. Reception managers actually provided one on one service and made sure all questions were answered and that we were totally comfortable! Bags whisked up to our room before we even left reception. Rooms were clean and tidy and beds comfortable. Level one for the Courtyard for the best service and the best meal. Lounges heaters , gin selections. Will we be going here next time we travel to Adelaide absolutely!

The staff were great, friendly and very accommodating. The hotel is under renovation so a bit noisy in the morning on weekdays. Apart from that, the staff made sure that we have a pleasant stay and the food was great . Looking forward to our next stay at Playford.

We have been overwhelmed by the efficiency and charm of every staff member we have interacted with . They are beyond helpful and have made our stay delightful . During renovations they have been beyond innovative and set up a courtyard bar ! It is like being in Europe . The leadership from the top shows all the way down . Will definitely be back .

I would like to commend Maurits (Hotel GM) and his team for doing everything to make the 14 day quarantine as bearable as possible. Having quarantined a few times in WA hotels before, I must say that the South Australian hospitality at The Playford is by far the best! Keep up the good work and thank you again.

Dear Road54126167529, Thank you so much for the great review and I have shared it with the team. Not an easy period for all of us and therefore we need to make sure we take care of each other the best we can. I did my 14 days as well and it is not easy but doable. Hopefully this was your last time and we do hope to see you back once we reopen. Warm regards Maurits

I have been meaning to write this review for a while now. I was lucky enough to be transferred to this hotel to finish my hotel quarantine after the first hotel provided me with two rooms which were filthy and unhygienic. I was a bit wary about how staff would react when I was transferred as I was well aware from the attitude of staff at the other hotel that I had been labelled as a ‘trouble maker’ due to my complaints about my uncleaned rooms and sleeping on the same sheets as the person before me. When I arrived I was greeted by a Manager Reece and could feel that he was very apprehensive to have me there, by his body language and tone of voice, which I felt was due to what staff had told him about me from the Stamford Plaza. Maybe I was being over sensitive but I had been through a rough few months and then a rough couple of days at the other hotel. I felt he could have been more compassionate to what had occurred at the other hotel, rather than taking what he was told at face value (assuming this is why he acted in this way toward me). I was very lucky to be given a beautiful room which was very clean. The reception staff were wonderful and kind, as were the nurses and SAPOL. I really enjoyed interacting with the other guests through the Facebook group and enjoyed participating in the quiz. It is evident that higher management run this hotel to an impeccable standard and I found all of the staff except for one to be wonderfully kind. I didn’t eat the food as I am particular in my diet and I wanted to avoid opening the door as much as possible. I did however ask to have the going away cake the day before I left. It was some of the best cake I have ever had. I look forward to going back for dinner in the restaurant when the hotel reopens. I am very appreciative to the Playford for taking me in and allowing me to finish my quarantine there after my horrible experience elsewhere.…

Dear F1478NUstephanie, Thank you so much for your great review and very happy to read that you have enjoyed the second part of your quarantine here at the Playford Hotel. We are trying to do our best to create the best experience as possible as for a lot of guests it is very challenging period. I have noticed you comments regarding the welcome and do apologize for that but wanted to confirm we do not talk to the hotels about guests, we focus on our own hotel and to keep everyone safe. We would love to have you back once we reopen and I must say we cannot wait to go back to normal. Again thank you for the great review and have shared it with the team. Kind regards Maurits

Sometimes you get lucky and you don't even know it. Being allocated to the Playford Hotel as part of quarantine was the best thing that could have happened to me. 1. There was large opening window/balcony facing the street - is a must for quarantine 2. The effort the staff go to make you feel welcome and tend to your needs is amazing. They really put themselves in your shoes and are dedicated and attentive. 3. The food was excellent and and tailored to dietary requirements. Any changes or special requests were no problem. 4. When General manager get on the bus before you enter the hotel and welcomes you, you know there is a real care factor. (Apparently he does this for every bus load. In summary when I do come back to Adelaide and things are back to normal, this will be my Hotel of choice based on how I was treated over the past 12 days (3 to go) Thanks team. Sebastiano (Sam)…
