Located in the heart of Adelaide and overlooking Rundle Mall, the luxurious Mayfair Hotel offers free WiFi, a restaurant and lounge bar. All rooms offer stylish décor and a 55-inch flat-screen TV. Guests enjoy an onsite fitness centre.

Location: Excellent. The Mayfair is central, buses and trams are just outside the front door. Rundle Mall is across the road. Building: Charming and boutique. Room: Great. Separate small sitting area. Beautifully outfitted. The bathroom is spacious with a large bathtub and large shower. The robes are actually soft and extremely comfortable (so many 5*+ hotel robes are heavy but not soft). Soap, shampoo, lotion and conditioner are in large, refillable bottles that are so much more environmentally friendly that the usual small, sample size containers. The bed and pillows are very comfortable.

    Very clean and comfortable king room 1601. All rooms on all floors on this side of the building would have great unobstructed views of the Adelaide hills. Breakfast in the hotel cafe/restaurant was fantastic al a cart. The eggs Benedict the best ever! This hotel is petite, and compliments to the chef, owners/interior designer as attention to detail is 10/10. The only feedback is that the modern bathroom is very awkward in its design. A fantastic boutique hotel worth visiting for pleasure and especially business travellers.

    It was such a lovely cosy boutique hotel. Everything is of such good quality but it’s not over the top. It’s very modern but not in a big cold sterile way, they’ve kept everything to blend in with the oval. The staff were so incredible. They were friendly and willing to do anything to help. And the pancakes in the Bespoke restaurant were out of this world! Megan in this same restaurant was very lovely too!

    Love the interior design of the hotel especially the chandelier in the swimming pool area! Lots of food in the breakfast buffet but unfortunately, a little bit slow in topping them up especially with the pastry selection. The staff members in this department are amazing though!

    What a fantastic apartment! Our suite was wonderful- it was immaculate, comfortable and I loved the interior design and retro decor. I couldn’t believe how quiet it was given it is in the CBD. The price of the suite was outstanding and next time we will definitely stay more than 1 night! What a gem in the city!
