Top McLaren Vale Hotel Reviews

Tryp Adelaide by Wyndham

8/10 Good

"Allocated a disable room, again. Not sure why this hotel seems to “reward” its most regular guests with the worst room allocations. This remains a great hotel, but they don’t recognise you, which is poor."

Hotel Panorama

8/10 Good

"This is a new hotel so all areas of the building look great. The room was very nice with comfortable beds and a wonderful shower. There is plenty of lighting in the room but every light has its own switch and the switches were hard to figure out. You have to stay for a couple days to get the lighting figured out. Only glass separates the bathroom from the sleeping area. Its not see-through but you can still see a person fairly well through the glass so I wouldn't suggest sharing a room with someone if you are very modest. There was ample area to put 2 or 3 pieces of luggage on benches which was great, making for easy access. Parking was difficult to say the least. We stayed on the weekend and it seems everyone from the local area visits the hotel restaurants and bars, making parking hard to find. The front desk is very helpful but I'd call it more of doing their job, not overly friendly or personable."

Adelaide Riviera Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved staying here as so close to the cbd by free tram. Very friendly staff, always with a greeting and a smile. We were upgraded which was a lovely surprise. I'm a very light sleeper, so next time I'll request a room away from the main road. I will be staying again in December so shows how much I like it👍 Great price and great room."
