The Richmond Hotel - Adelaide

We had a Comfortable and enjoyable stay. Great price and a great location. Our room was clean and roomy. The staff we dealt with was friendly and very helpful, free and close parking, the meal for dinner was absolutely delicious, would highly recommend the Richmond, and definitely would stay again

Great location, staff helpful and breakfast lovely.

If you want super-modern, faceless, beige accommodation then this place is not for you! But if you enjoy a place with character and creaky old-world charm, which makes up for its imperfections with extra space, nice touches such as a bath (perfect for a winter stay), complimentary organic teas and chocolate biscuits, and the most visually stunning café-bar you're likely to find, then this is for you. I loved it.

When staying in the city centre I prefer a 24 hour reception and an actual person to check-out with. Just feels more human. That said I did feel safe.

Location is perfect! Free parking is a good perk as well, although driving isn’t needed at all as the hotel is close to free public transport (bus and tram) and right in the middle of shops, restaurants, and tourist spots

Nitpicking here but it would have been nice to have a small bar of soap at the sink, instead of us getting a pump of body wash from the shower everytime we need to wash our hands

Location. Staff were great

Was a bit run down.

Staff at reception were all very polite and friendly. I had a room on the fifth floor, easily accessed by the lift. That said, I actually did enjoy the exercise of taking the stairs down to ground level a number of times. In the room was a small refrigerator and a kettle, with tea/coffee and biscuits provided. There was also an iron & ironing board. With winter temperatures in Adelaide, the room air conditioning made for a cosy stay. A small heater was also provided, though not required. The bathroom was large and well lit. It had a separate shower and bath tub. The location of the Richmond Hotel is fantastic, being right on the Rundle Street mall. There was easy access to food, coffee, shops, and transportation to reach further afield. I used the local bus to travel from the airport to the city and it was a short walk on sealed footpaths and through the mall, making access incredibly easy. Definitely will try to book this hotel on my next visit to Adelaide.

I’m loathe to even mention this because it’s not a fault or “dislike” of the hotel, rather a sign that systems work! On one evening at around 8pm the fire alarm sounded, with a message to evacuate the building. I walked down the previously discovered stairwell and shortly after the fire services arrived. An inspection was made and it was ascertained that it had been a false alarm. The staff and patrons were soon allowed to reenter the hotel. A minor inconvenience and not at all the hotel’s fault…as said, it showed that the safety features worked.
