Stayed here a week and have no complaints. The rooms were tidy and the beds comfortable, had very nice sleeps in them. The hostel can be a bit of a maze at times, but seeing as it's a few Victorian era looking townhouses knocked together to make this hostel, i dont see any issue with this as the charm and... More

Decoratively a little tired, but full of character and ticks all the boxes. Excellent location in Glenelg and very accessible to the tram into Adelaide city (20-30 minutes). The free wifi, tea & coffee as well as breakfast toast all appreciated. Staff helpful and everything works. Friday night we had live music which was good, fun and busy. Saturday there... More

After staying in a few hostels before this one - we learned you just need to get the "vibe" of the hostel before passing any judgement. This place is great for location - right on the street with tons of fun restaurants and shops and the beach an easy walk down the street. The hostel was clean and we felt... More

My first time in a hostel and fingers crossed they are all like this! Rooms are clean beds are comfy and never had to queue for a hot shower! Staff are friendly and helpful and it has its own bar with happy hour. Not in central Adelaide but located inbetween the bus and tram stops after talking to fellow travellers... More

This hostel has a perfect location - right off the tram from the city, about 2 blocks away from the beautiful Glenelg beach. The owner and staff are super friendly and will help you out with anything you need. The beds are nice and comfy, and there are no bunk beds! The bathrooms are clean. There's a really nice beer...

We got dropped off here by an Adelaide local and loved it! Great location, close to the supermarket, shops & public transport. We had a private room which was a good size and the bathroom was kept clean. Kitchen was well-equipped, nice picnic tables etc out the back, free breakfast, reasonable price for what it is! The only thing I... More

Stayed here for 4 months while I was working nearby, and I absolutely loved it. Definitely one of my favourite hostels I've stayed in since I've started traveling. It has really friendly staff, a cheap bar single beds, free wi-fi, and a clean, well-equipped kitchen with free breakfast every day. It's also just round the corner from the beach and... More

Only downside was the fact that the fan was so noicy that we had to turn it of during the night (no A/C). Apart from this it was a hostel with a very good atmosphere, a good and well equiped kitchen, a brilliant beer garden, very helpful staf and generally keept clean. Very thin walls (sometimes it is french doors... More

Although this hostel is outside adelaide its worth to spend a couple of days there. its near the beach (2min walk) and you can all kind of shops near by. the rooms, bathrooms and the kitchen are clean and big enough to feel comfortable. i would defenetely recommend this hostel to others.

This Hostel is just awesome. I had a beautiful 6-bed dorm for 28 dollars a night and it was 3 minutes from the beach away. It is in the beautiful glenelg (south adelaide) with shopping stores and restaurants all around. It has free wifi and everything is very clean, even the bathrooms. The hostel building itself is already stunning. Its... More
