Hostels in South Australia, Australia

We arrived on a very hot day and the air-con was already on, which is a big plus. Although the room is rather basic, it is very clean and the bed comfortable. Location at Nuriootpa is central for visiting different places in Barossa.

Located in the north of Adelaide is a 3 minute drive from the botanical gardens and approximately 25 minute walk. It's got good parking and is easy to get to. Old building with lots of history.

The hotel boasts spacious rooms and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The accommodation itself is very comfortable, and I particularly liked the kitchen being open for 20 hours, allowing guests to cook whenever they please. The only downside is the lack of privacy; I'd suggest installing curtains or blinds around each bed for better seclusion.

We stayed here for 3 nights. The hostel is okay, there is a lot of permanent residents in the hostel so the kitchen is busy and not a big size so can get too much. There was then food left out and dishes left around so didn’t feel clean. However the rooms were clean and hoovered everyday we were there so that was the main thing for us as we didn’t use the kitchen as much. They did offer breakfast included which was basic but nice (few muffins, cereal and hot drinks etc) in addition dinner was included but was the same meals that seem repeated The staff were nice and helpful. We arrived very early in the morning from the bus service (6:00 am) having a member of the team on for this time would be helpful as we had to sit in the living room section with someone asleep on the sofa and two others eating breakfast. It would mainly help with the smoothness etc but once someone arrived they were able to check us into a room straightaway which was amazing! Location is good as it’s near the bus terminal and around a 15 min walk to the centre of Adelaide.

Okay for the price. Water bottles for the room would have been good. . It’s an American style motel with courtyard parking. Iron Stairs leading up to the rooms are not the cleanest. My bathroom got locked at 11 PM so I had to go get a sharp pin from the reception to open it. Receptionist was a good and happy to help. There was no display of phone no of how yo call reception so o had to walk to the adjoining girl at nigh in the rain.

The bathroom for my first stay was between the living room and the room, and only the door on the living room side could be closed, which was very inconvenient. It was very inconvenient to take a bath in the bathtub because the water flow was not fast and there was always water on my feet. There are no windows, the air conditioner is not working, and one side of the desk lamp is not working. If you have a group of friends with boys and girls, I would not recommend staying here. If you have all boys or all girls, you can still experience this place.

Gooddddddddfdddddfddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddrrrrrddddddddddd

I didn't have time to walk around. There is a very large supermarket nearby. There may be thick fog near the town in the morning, so drive carefully. Very cost-effective. The air conditioner is very loud and a bit noisy. Nice place.

I highly recommend the Motel Poinsettia for families seeking a comfortable and stress-free stay. From the moment we arrived, the reception staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel genuinely welcome. The layout is exceptionally convenient, especially the car park directly in front of the room, which made unloading luggage a breeze. We stayed in a two-bedroom apartment that was perfectly suited for our family of two adults and three kids, providing plenty of space for everyone. Safety is clearly a priority here; the property is gated and felt very secure throughout our stay. The location is also a major plus, with a Foodland within easy walking distance for all our grocery needs. This is a fantastic, well-maintained choice for travellers, and we would definitely stay here again!

The only reason I am marking 3 stars for service is because it was all automatic. 3 stars for when I called, and asked to be put in a little early, they immediately said yes and made the room ready. I called within 24 hours of my booking as well so that deserves a 5 star in itself. But the lack of human interaction made it not as exciting. Definitely would have made it 5 stars
