We stayed 2 nights at the Blue Galah Adelaide in October 2012 in a 8 bed mixed dorm. Our room was a good size, but didn't have a huge amount of storage for the amount of people which made it quite messy. The lounge area is good - with a tv and computers. The bathrooms are quite clean and the... More

I only stayed here one night, but I definitely could have stayed here longer. The hostel is right in the center of the city, the beds are clean and comfy, the people and staff are super friendly, and the balcony bar is really nice and fun and on the cheaper side. Free breakfast and free rice with your meals. The... More

The hostel is good enough to stay there for a while. They clean regularly and the toilets are old but clean. The problem is that they do not clean everything and just superficial so you probably find condoms and other stuff underneath or next to your bed. The linen is clean as well, just the matraces are disgusting.

The staff weren't friendly and the rooms were very small. I was in a room of 4 and it was very cramped. Thankfully my roomies were my fellow travelers, otherwise I would not be too comfortable with the idea of being in a very tight space with others. Although the patio with the bar at the top was great and... More

Had no choice but to stay here due to the Big Day Out festival causing a shortage of rooms in the city but would never stay here again out of choice. Firstly the rooms are tiny, 6 people crammed into a tiny room. There is nowhere to leave bags and so it was difficult to actually open the door due... More

Where to start? The location was fantastic! Check in was a little slow, however, the girl had just started so that was fine. Everyone has to learn somewhere. The rooms were very small for the number of beds in the room. We had 8 people in the group so it was very crowded and not much storage space. The balcony... More

I've stayed in hostels all over the world; this place ranks somewhere near the bottom. If you like being kept awake by other people's loud drunken conversations and don't mind showering in other people's grime you might enjoy staying here! The carpets look like someone has vomited on them, floors weren't cleaned the whole 5 days we were there, same... More

We did not enjoy our stay in this backpacker. The friendliness of the staff left to be desired, the cleanliness of our room was really terrible (bugs on my mattress, dirty mattresses, not vacuumed etc.), the room was really small for 4 people, the water of the showers was cold... The only positif thing was the location.

This has a great location, positive. The full price for dorm room is $34 but with various discounts you get it cheaper- certainly not a $34 hostel. The rooms are tiny and they just fit 8 beds in them, no room for luggage and barely enough for standing. As comparison, the YHA put 4 beds in the same size room.... More

Stayed here a while ago. The location was great. Right in the centre. My dorm was clean but was pretty small. So a bit tricky to store away luggage. Would be a problem if you had a large amount. Luckily there was only two of us in a 4 bed dorm. Bathroom and kitchen was clean. Fair size communal area.... More
