“Nice hostel, good service and cosy”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 June 2011

This was not a big hostel and it looked very nice to me. I arrived around 6 in the morning so I wasn't able to check in yet. Because I hadn't slept all night I was very tired and only wanted a place to lay down. Fortunately I was able to lay down in the tv room for a couple of hours untill my room was available.

The size of the room was alright and it had it's own bathroom which was very nice. The kitchen was very small so it's alright if you make noodles and stuff but a bit harder to cook a nice big meal.

There was a balcony with a table so you could smoke and drink in here. De people working here where very nice and provided me good service. The location is close to the busstation and chinatown but a bit further away from the city centre. All together I had a pleasant stay.

“Didn't love the place”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 April 2011

No windows in the bedrooms or kitchen. Found it kind of depressing. Ensuite batroom which was nice, friendly people. Location was a fair walk from the centre of town but then I think they all are. Was glad I was only staying a night.

“Brilliant hostel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 March 2011

This is a fantastic hostel and really enjoyed staying here. Be prepared to stay longer than originally intended as everyone seems too! So much fun and staff are really helpful, many a night spent on the balcony drinking with new friends. This place has a really good feel to it and this is the only place to stay once in Adelaide!

“Balcony the best in Australia!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 September 2010

Had such a great time with my friends there. Such a friendly and fun place to stay. Met lots of people as we shared a dorm room. Definitely will be back. A Backpackers Hostel just the way it should be! Brekkie also included and staff took us out in town in the evening. Did have a few too many but luckily hostel is close to the bars.
