“Hostel ok, management people bad!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

This small hostel is ok. Rooms are really small though, no windows, but beds are ok, clean, and I slept really well. The kitchen is ok, even though some new sauce pans would be great as it is simply impossible to do pancakes with the free morning breakfast. Towels in the kitchan and toilets are smeeling so bad - would need to be changed sometimes.
I just got a bad relation with the management lady - and I was not the only guest during my stay. The free pick-up from train station costed me 15 dollars because she did not make her job as she should have. Anyway, she didn't refund me as she didn't want to admit her mistake.

“Recommended by the Lonely Planet but not a nice place”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 December 2011

I stay for just one night in the My Place because it was recommended by the Lonely Planet. I was disapponted by this place, impersonal and not very clean...
There is some good points : the balcony and the free breakfast

“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.
