Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Reviews summary
This summary was created by AI, based on recent reviews.
Powered by AI
Situated in a prime location with stunning sea views, Stamford Grand Adelaide garners appreciation for its proximity to dining and transport. While the service is friendly, some guests have experienced delays. The atmosphere blends elegance with some disruptions, and room cleanliness is typically well-regarded, though updates are necessary.
The hotel's amenities, including ocean vistas, are a highlight, despite critiques of maintenance and pool renovations. However, the overall value is questioned by guests who expect more for their expenditure.

Detailed Reviews
We went here for afternoon tea following a funeral. The Atrium was booked for 30 and in fairness about 45 turned up. As the second smaller portion of the Atrium was free we decided to pull a few tables, that hadn't been cleared, together which did not worry us. The staff came and told us we couldn't do this even though the tables had not been booked, so 15 of us went to the mezzanine level (totally away from the set up area) and decided to just have a drink here. Then they called us back after clearing the tables doing exactly what we intended to do in the Atrium in the first place. Some scones eventually came out after we ordered some food followed by a few curry puffs (not enough for everyone to have one). The fruit platter and cheese board were pretty ordinary that we ordered and paid for and I'm not sure where the wedges went as we never received these. Wasn't rocket science when the family which we were sitting with were happy to pay for more food. Just pull a couple of tables together and bring out another high tea! Those who sat in the booked area had a nicely presented high tea. We thought about staying here overnight as well but from all reports the showers are still over the baths in many of the rooms and at $250+ who should pay an extra $39 a day for a car park. This place is in a lovely location but is definitely not good value for money!

I feel as though im giving this extra star towards average due to the staff ive dealt with via email more so then the actual hotel because that side of things was a let down.
The reservation team via email are fabulous and extremely helpful.
Firstly waiting to check in there was 1 person working on the desk and i waited approx 15/20 mins to finally get checked in, she rushed though it so quickly that i had no understanding of anything and because my package came with parking i wasnt entirely sure what to do so we just went and parked (didnt know i needed to validate the ticket after that) we arrived in our room on the 6th floor now almost late for a party we were attending in the hotel due to slow check in and not being given any information on navigating parking getting to rooms ect.
We didnt know that our room had included free wifi and wasnt given the information to be able to use it.
Shower was awful and the set up over bath is really not great as water gets everywhere on the floor and its a BIG step to get in / out.
Upon returning to our room we found the bed to be comfortable and the room was able to be kept dark with the curtains provided huge bonus for us.
We had buffet breakfast included and it was just average buffet breakfast, there is better ones around, we paid extra for a barista made coffee that was really lovely compared to what came for free.
I do like the idea of the pod coffee machine in the downstairs lobby although getting it to work was another thing, even the workers seemed to have no clue.
Check out was easy and bond was returned within a few working days not automatically (checking in i wasnt given this information)
Upon returning home we realised our room was missing the bottle of champagne that was included in our package, i emailed them straight away and was given the option of a $15 refund or 10% of next stay, i took the refund but cant fault the reservation team via email once again the responded quickly and sorted it.
Overall this hotel needs to show more focus on finer details. The room was basic but clean.
I would return but would definitely not pay the big $$ this hotel sometimes asks for and id definitely make sure i checked whats included as they seem to "forget" lots of these inclusions.

This was our second visit to Stamford and once again we were not disappointed. The location is fantastic close to restaurants, the beach and tram is right outside the hotel and many landmarks are close by and Henley is only 15minutes away. The cleanliness of the hotel in general and the room was of a high standard so this was very reassuring at this time along with Covid practices being adhered to. The staff from reception to cleaning and maintenance were always friendly and a special mention to Kush who always had time to answer questions and showed us the grand suite which we upgraded to without any regrets! Thank you!! As we extended our stay we stayed both in the Ocean View grand suite which had amazing views of the ocean and city and we also stayed in the City View grand room (which had been refurbished)and that also had beautiful views of the city and Adelaide Hills. Toiletries, towels, coffee, tea etc were always replenished and as I mentioned earlier the rooms were always cleaned. Our motto is, "If it's not broken, why fix it?" So we can't wait to visit the Stamford in Glenelg again!

This hotel is an old, tired horse that needs some serious TLC, otherwise they need to rethink their 5 star status and their prices. I purchased the family package for 2 nights which on paper sounds like great value but really isn’t. If you think you can get the regular 5 star experience of ordering drinks to your room and enjoying your ocean view, think again. I was told I had to go down to the bar and order my drinks and then they were going to charge me $5 to bring the drink up to the room. The pool area looks great online, not so great in person. Again, it’s old, tired and needs some maintenance. I also don’t think the area is staffed or cleaned at all considering the same pair of dirty socks sat on the floor for 2 days. The Beach House vouchers sounded like a winner for the kids, but again it was misrepresented. If you’re happy to just have $40 credit which will give you approx 10-12 rides/games then you’ll be happy. I wanted to pay extra to upgrade the voucher to a 2 hour unlimited package but was told that I couldn’t do that. All I could do was add extra credit which is a rip off at the Beach House. When it comes to the food I suggest you read the fine print. It boldly stated that a Covid safe buffet breakfast is included and that kids eat free. You really have to read carefully to see that the buffet breakfast is only available on weekends. The al a carte breakfast options (all 5 of them) were ok but there was nothing appealing for children (eg pancakes etc). I had to beg the manager to make my son some pancakes or waffles which they ended up agreeing to. When it comes to kids eating free for lunch/dinner then be aware that the kids get a free children’s meal per every adult main meal. If your kids are like mine, their pallet is way beyond mini burgers and nuggets.
Basically the whole experience from booking to leaving as been well below 5 star or even average. Think carefully before booking here. For me to stay here again it would need to be half the price and then I could be more forgiving of its shortcomings.

Wanting a bit of luxury backfired. We were unable to find a SA Covid QR check in!!
We waited over 5 mins in the quiet reception with our two full suitcases being ignored! Eventually asking reception if we could book in! We were not told where lifts were, or where we could find breakfast in the morning!
In our king room which was down a drap corridor, our safe was inaccessible at floor level, there was no handrail to help you into the over bath shower & the toilet seat didn’t stay up.
So we headed to GRAND BAR for our complimentary drinks and use our $50 food voucher, We sat outside to enjoy the beautiful view. The staff seem to clear the glasses, it were very slow clearing plates. We were astonished to see an older lady came in and started putting the leftovers from the plates into a carrier bag!!
We both used the BAR toilets, the men’s hand dryer did not work, the ladies had one toilet with broken flush and two toilets with broken doors!

My daughter and I stayed in one room with my elderly parents in another but on the same floor. We stayed 2 nights and will not be staying again. On the first night (Thursday) my parents were woken through the night with kids running wild in the hall unattended late into the night. On the Saturday afternoon we returned to our room around 3pm and it hadn’t been serviced. We ended up just asking for new towels as we were back in the room. On the Saturday night the kids again were unrulely. My 81 year old father got up around midnight to ask the kids to be quiet, my mum around half an hour later. The kids then moved down the hall closer to my room where I got up and asked them to show some consideration and be quiet, this was around 1am. When we spoke to the hotel about this they said there was nothing they could do as it was a group booking.
The hand sanitiser dispenser at the front of the hotel near jetty road was empty for the full 2 days we were there. At no time did I witness cleaners cleaning touch points in the hotel and there were significant numbers of people moving though. The beds felt they had significant age on them and were not made well with ill fitting sheets.
This is not what I expect of a 5 star hotel where we paid top dollar for a luxury stay which definitely did not happen.

Dear Narelle2021, Thank you for taking the time to rate and review your recent experience at Stamford Grand Adelaide. It is disheartening to read your comments regarding your recent stay. Our team always work to ensure that guests are not bothered by other guests on their same floor to help them have a restful stay.

Your comments have been forwarded to the relevant manager for follow up and action. We will be providing further training to the team as needed. We have increased our cleaning of public area's in line with current requirements and our companies own new guidelines. I have followed up to ensure that these are still being followed and shared your comments. I understand your disappointment on this occasion and I apologise that this was not what you were expecting.

Have stayed here 5 times over the last 4 years..but unfortunately our December visit of 7 nights will be our last until it has a major refurbishment. We booked a junior suite but moved rooms as the windows were that filthy. The duty manager was very accomodating with our complaint so we moved to another suite with a balcony. The junior suites still have not been renovated (the front seaview rooms were renovated a few years back). So if you advertise 5 stars and pay for 5 stars you expect 5 stars. The room was very tired looking..the bed was very comfortable but the sofa well that had definitely seen its day. The bottled water was not replaced daily. The overall of the hotel needs major renovations from the passage ways which had torn and stained carpet as well as in the lifts...the most disappointing cleanliness part of the hotel was the front and back swivel doors which were never cleaned in the 7 days we were there from dirty hand prints and finger marks all over them..we have stayed in alot of 5 star hotels in Asia and the Grand is far from 5 star. The hotel staff had great customer service and were very friendly as they have been with our other visits. This hotel was built in the 90's and the group owners seriously need to spend some $$$ as its looking very tired.

We booked 2 rooms at this hotel for 3 nights over Easter. Checkin time was 2pm.
We were told there was an issue from previous guests and one room would be delayed a little.
At 4pm we were told that there had been an issue with the bathroom flooding into the room and they were drying it out.
At 6pm they took us to look at it. The carpet was completely soaked at the entrance to the bathroom and around the corner about 6 feet towards the beds.
They had the door closed (with no opening windows) and a blower going in a futile attempt to dry it out.
The room smelled of wet carpet. (Room 510).
With no other choice we had to take the room and lay towels on the floor.
Their remedy was to send up an $11 bottle of wine and 4 drink vouchers for the pub (certain drinks only)!!
We though the shower issue was the result of a guest flooding it through misuse. However when we tried using it there was insufficient fall and the water headed straight for the door. My son is a plumber and couldn’t believe it. The only solution was to lay a towel at the shower entrance to trap the water and have a very quick shower.
This would be why the room smelled so bad. It wasn’t a one off. It would be almost impossible to have a shower in that room without flooding it.
The second room had no such issue and the fall in the shower was fine.
In summary - 4 hours late to get into our room that had a smell that was almost unbearable. And no partial refund. But they did give us an $11 bottle of wine and 4 drink vouchers for the pub.
This was our 2nd stay at the Stamford but it will also be our last.

That's about all this hotel has got going for it now days. Position! We booked a Ocean View Room for two nights through the Qantas website. Check-in took quite a while, but i did notice the staff member had a badge that said in training, so I was patient. We paid over $260 a night for our room
We were given room 1102. When we got in the room I must say we were disappointed. The room is drab to say the least. Their website says refurbished, but this room was like a time warp back to the 80's. There are stains on the carpet and the bed is old and not that comfortable.
The view from this room (which we paid for) was blocked on both sides by protruding parts of the building so it was a narrowed view.
The bathroom was the most disappointing, the shower drained into the drain in the middle of the floor instead of into the shower drain. The wall paper has mould on it, there is no shaving mirror, so I was doing my makeup and hair in the hallway. There were no robes or slippers. Which for the price I would expect.
This hotel is in a prime position, and I fear they are taking advantage of this by putting very little effort into cleaning and updating.
Pity really, we won't be back. There are other places to stay in Glenelg we will be trying them next time

Travelling from Darwin we recently decided to treat ourselves with a stay at the Grand and booked an ocean balcony room at nearly $300 per night. The service on arrival was terrible, our view was looking down on the pool and air con units on the roof, no offer of valet, wi-fi and the rooms were average. I had a better stay at our local Darwin City Hotel last weekend. I emailed the Grand with our concerns about two weeks ago and haven’t even had the courtesy of a reply.
