Adelaide Hostels

Likes: * cubbies + labels in kitchen for food storage * plug in lockers / size of lockers * donation bin in washer room (cute) * dvds for TV room (just ask reception) * Individual lights at beds * free pancake (mix) at breakfast - you have to make it yourself, pls don’t be THAT person who asks another traveller if they’re the cooks for breakfast 🥴 Dislikes: * no ovens * half hobs don’t work - issues with gas/ignitions * no plug near bed, only in the lockers and 1 to share in the room * they don’t change the duvet cover if you don’t strip it which is ming 🤢 (we saw cleaners replacing sheets but not duvets) * Mattresses were quite dippy - obviously don’t get turned or rotated that much Improvements: * activities + social board (only 1 social activity the entire 12 days we stayed) * The promotion board in the reception area was mostly outdated. It would have been good to know what’s happening locally in the present, not what happened a few months ago

Pros: Free food!! Tasty pancake breakfasts and four nights a week they make you dinner! Really tasty! Make sure you queue early! Generally plenty for everyone but people go for seconds! Facilities were good, toilets/showers upstairs are really good, downstairs is poor. Cons: Be prepared for party on the weekends! Very loud. Had to ask people to shh at 4am both Friday and Saturday night. Not sure why the front door is at the front by the rooms! The backdoor services the reception and common room so why is this not the front door?!? Luggage storage was not secure with the door just open all the time. Backdoor is open all the time so anyone can walk in off the street and they wouldn’t look out of place!! Not much room in the dorms and lockers are mostly broken. Had to store my bag on-top of the locker which was a bit of a nightmare.

Great hostel and staff. Robert greeted us at check-in and nothing was a problem. We stayed in small 4 bed dorm and was nice and cosy. The building is cool. There is a massive balcony area to have a BBQ and a few beers. 10 min walk to Rundle St pubs. Good pub across the road for beers and pub meal. Parking was good in surrounding area. Thanks Robert for a great stay. 5 stars

Amenities need a little attention

I Have Found Since Staying Here The Management Have Been More Than welcoming, Not to Mention Very Warm Kind Management. They Ensure you are Comfortable. The Virtual Reception Assistance are Fabulous and Kind People also. Beds very comfortable, The Cleners are extremely good at their job. I have felt safe and secure. This Backpackers i would have to say would be one of the best in the world if you are looking to Travel to South Australia this accommodation is a must stay
