“Not as good as LP says it is!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

there are better places in Adelaide to stay! yeah, its ok, but the rooms don't have windows, neither does the kitchen. The TV room was smelly and stuffy. The balcony was good, and a good plpace to start your night out from, especially given it sproximity to the Grace Emily Hotel. Not great for amenities like food etc. Go elsewhere!

Room Tip: get a room with a window if there are any!

“nice place, i would stay again!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 July 2011

i just stayed for one night but really liked it. clean, comfortable beds, organized events going on, nice kitchen stocked with cooking supplies. it is small and rooms have no windows but that wasn't a big deal to me.

“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!
