I was here for a long weekend in January and loved it! Staff were extremely friendly and able to advise on local attractions and things to see in Adelaide. The kitchen / open plan lounge area are definitely the best part of this hostel. The biggest / most equipped kitchen I've seen in a hostel with plenty of dry and... More

Greeted with a smile, always a good start. Booked in early but was allowed to use the facilities whilst I waited to be checked in. Was given a piece of paper with my room number (bonus) and the room was immaculate & un-smelly. The kitchen is large and can accommodate a lot of people and is clean (even behind the... More

Stayed for a few nights in between day trips to vineyards, Flinders ranges and Kangaroo Island. Clean, quiet dorm room with useful locker and big kitchen and living area. Bathrooms a little dated but very clean and friendly staff.

Good parts ========== *Management appear to provide a clean and well run environment for guests. Bathrooms and kitchen are cleaned daily. *The biggest hostel kitchen that i 've encounter on my travels to date. Eight cooktops(!!!) and sinks with ample fridge space to store your food. Great way to save money and eat well by preparing your own meals for... More

Even though this is a much larger hostel than we are used to, it still retains a personal touch which usually goes away with size! Particularly helpful when we were there was the desk helper/checker-in person, Marissa! For Australia, this place was very reasonable pricewise and had much to offer. I would definately recommend this hostel over most others, but... More

I was quite disappointed with this hostel. We were supposed to be booked in for a private quad share however when it came to checking in we were told that we had to be split up because someone moved around the reservation, we were offered no compensation and little apology for the inconvenience. There also seems to be a lack... More

I have been to probably over 50 backpackers worldwide and never seen a better place. The rooms were clean, showers and toilets were efficient and the building overall was very clean. The kitchen facilities and dishes were also very orderly and clean. The environment was suitable for travelers. Locality: It is located within 10-15 minutes walking distance from the city... More

Excellent place to stay. Impressed by how clean the Hostel was. Have stayed in 4 star accommodation that I was less impressed with. The bathrooms were sparkling, the room were clean, the common areas were clean, with signs of wear & tear to be expected, but this was the minimum. Noticed the staff cleaning on the balcony in the morning... More

I have stayed at this hostel several times now, and I am never disappointed. The staff are friendly, eager to help, and run tours of the market on Friday nights. The rooms are clean, as are the bathrooms and common areas on the first floor. The kitchen is massive so there is always plenty of room to cook and store... More
