Top hotels in Happy Valley
Hotel Grand Chancellor Adelaide
Friendly staff , helpful . Room was very clean , no complaints . For me the mattress was a tad soft but you can’t cater to everyone .

Stamford Plaza Adelaide
Clean, comfortable room and bathroom. Very quiet. Aircon fortunately could be operated to avoid being excessively cold. Room service food was average in my view, pre-cooked probably not microwaved hot enough upon serving (the curry).
