Thank you Nat for this 5 star review. What a wonderful compliment to receive. It is so pleasing to know that we are meeting the service we were built to provide.

Hopefully we can welcome you again for another function or perhaps a getaway.

Best wishes, Mieke and the Oval Hotel team.

Check in was simple and efficient. Water on arrival was appreciated, so was the welcome beverage.
The room was beautiful and so was the view. Upgraded to a cathedral view room. But the best part was the super comfortable bed! Shower was excellent.
Will definitely be back. This could become our favourite hotel in Adelaide.

Room tip: The Bespoke Restaurant is fantastic.

Dear Angela,

Thank you ever so much for this wonderful review. From a regular travel such as yourself, your words speak volume and mean a lot to myself and the team here. Thank you for sharing them.

We would absolutely love to be your favourite hotel in Adelaide and hope we can welcome you again soon.

Kind regards, Mieke and the Oval Hotel tea.

The rooms are fantastic and are the reason I keep coming back.
The concierge were very polite and efficient although they failed to disclose that valet parking cost extra.
The service and food at your hotel are less than ideal. The wait staff did not approach me for an order and after 5minutes had to approach them-despite the fact there was only one other patron. The food was prompt but not to the quality I would expect.

Love the bed and pillows, didn't like that there isn't a pool or gym onsite. It doesn't make it for being 5 star. The breakfast is average, said sourdough but was overdone continental bread. The staff were lovely and room very tidy and clean.

Room tip: If you would like to relax by the pool and enjoy some outdoors, not the hotel for you.
