The Chancellor on Currie
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, it is worth booking if you want a central Adelaide base near Rundle Mall and the museums at about €136 a night, 36% below the city median. Light sleepers should ask for a quiet room, as music from nearby bars reaches some units.

The Chancellor on Currie is our Best Value pick in Adelaide. It suits city-break travellers, families and business visitors who want to walk to shops, restaurants, museums and public transport. Family rooms are listed, and the property lists a gym, spa and restaurant.
Skip it, or at least ask carefully about your room, if you are sensitive to noise at night. Some guests report loud music from nearby bars.
Location and getting around
The address is 18 Currie Street, in the Adelaide Central Business District. Guests give the location 9.5 and describe walking distance to Rundle Mall, restaurants and public transport links.
Straight-line estimates put the South Australian Museum 0.5 km away, about 6 minutes on foot. The Art Gallery of South Australia is 0.6 km, about 8 minutes, and Adelaide Zoo 1.3 km, about 16 minutes. All three are realistic on foot. These are estimates, not measured routes.
What guests say
The hotel scores 8.8 out of 10 from 2,918 reviews, joint sixth of the 14 eligible properties we compared. It is a good score on a solid sample, though not the top of the city.
Guests praise the central position and a friendly, efficient team that gives a warm welcome and helpful service.
Noise is the main complaint. Double glazing cuts traffic sound, but music from nearby bars affects some units. Ask for a room away from that side when you book.
Price and how it compares with our other picks
The reference price was €135.83 a night, about €271.66 for two nights. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov) for 2 adults in one room, not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.
That was 36% below the sample median of €211.96. Our Budget pick, ibis Adelaide, was €127.14 with an 8.4 score. Our Luxury pick, Oval Hotel at Adelaide Oval, was €232.77 with 9.2 and five stars. For under €9 a night more than the Budget pick you get a higher score and a longer facility list, which is why it takes the Best Value slot.
Why it made our top 3

Listed facilities include a gym, spa, pool, restaurant, family rooms, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. Availability, opening times and fees for these are not confirmed.
Before you book
Breakfast details are not confirmed in our data. Ask what is served, whether it is in your rate and what it costs. Confirm pool and spa opening hours if those matter to you.
Room size, renovation condition and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Because of the bar noise reports, request a quiet room and read the cancellation policy before paying.
