FILTHY! Photos on booking sites are deceptive from years ago. ||||Bathrooms n showers are so disgusting that the reception guy hasn't used them in weeks. Stinks from 3-5 metres away. ||||Floors haven't been vacuumed in weeks. Wouldn't cook in kitchen due to hygiene reasons. No stairwell & hallway lighting, so dangerous. No toilet paper. Cleaning products left lying around like it's do-it-yourself. Painting gear & ladder left in hallway.|||| Dust on sheets in dorm beds. Cockroaches aplenty. You wouldn't allow your girlfriend to stay there. ||||Not up to 3rd world country standards.Seen better in dodgy India.||Why hasn't this place been shut down already? Wouldn't pass a government inspection. ||||STAY AWAY FOR YOUR OWN HEALTH & SAFETY...!

I booked two days in another hotel, but because I arrived a day earlier than planned, the rating of this hotel on Google Maps was very low, and the name on Agoda and Google Maps were not exactly the same, so I did not book online. Instead, I went directly to the front desk to investigate. There was an Indian lady at the front desk. She seemed very friendly during the chat, so I checked in. As an Indian artist, the lady introduced the hotel facilities and rooms to me. During the visit, I found that the hotel was very clean, not at all like the reviews on Google Maps. I asked the lady why the previous guests had such bad reviews, and she said that they changed the manager and the current manager is working hard to improve the maintenance facilities and improve the service, so I understood. I also met a Vietnamese brother who was cleaning the room that day, and had a brief exchange with him. The next morning I got up at around seven because it was my habit to get up and drink tea every morning. When I came to the kitchen, I was simply shocked. I have been in Australia for half a month and have been to different cities and different hotels. I have never seen such a clean kitchen. Everything is clean and bright, and all items are neat and orderly. As a woman, I can't do it so cleanly if I were to clean. When I left this hotel, I expressed my satisfaction with the hotel and my praise for the work of the Vietnamese cleaner to the front desk, "He is indeed the best cleaner I have ever seen, and he finished all this so early in the morning. He really works so hard. I believe that the recognition of customers is the best compliment to him. I hope your hotel will get better and better."

How ? HOW can we let human beings live in this SLUM, especially while asking them for money? EVERYTHING is broken. The shower tap, one of the 2 hotplates, the washing machine, the sink tap, the shower fills (it must be blocked) and overflows into the hallway. The noise of the air conditioning, we obviously can't stop it. A pipe under the sink is leaking. The WiFi doesn't work. The fridges are full to the brim. There are only 3 bathrooms, if you are upstairs and want to go to the toilet at night you have to go downstairs and often wait your turn when you just want to sleep. The upstairs bathroom (the least worst) is always busy. The carpet on the floor is disgusting. This place is hell... and the owners don't care. NOTHING. I don't know how they manage to have peace of mind. It's the worst place in Australia.

We had booked this place just bcos our 6am Kangaroo Island pickup was just 200 mts away and although it mentions as bagpackers, but also advertises as motel.|But I wish I had read some of the reviews, everything about this place is BAD. Even if the accomodation was far from my pickup point, at least stay would have been good!|1. The reception is only open for 5 hours daily and no support afterwards (they dont mention this when booking and you see it only when arrive there).|2. The place overall is filthy as said by other reviewers. They will not change towels or bedsheet for your entire stay. Overall the building is old and rooms needs mojor renovation.|3. The service is pathetic. There is an emergency mobile number but no one responds to that. There is not even soap in the toilet!|4. Our room heat pump wasn't heating and when I called reception in the morning, the manager or owner said he will look into it. But when we returned in the evening it wasn't heating and reception was already closed by then.|5. There is a nightclub next to this building and they play club music till 4am on weekend, so you cant even sleep in peace and no escape as the club is right next door!|By now 2 days of our 3 day stay was over, we realised that the management is highly dishonest. But while you are on a trip, you dont want to waste time fighting with motel management. So we were just relieved after our 3 days stay.|Will not recommend to anyone visiting Adelaide!!

Great little backpackers if you just need a bed for a few nights. It's an older building and could do with a bit of maintenance, but overall great value for money. The staff member at reception was super helpful and let me store my bags and use the facilities passed checkout while I waited for my flight. It's an old motel where the rooms were converted into dorms. The room, kitchen and toilets were clean. Overall very quiet.

It is a HORRIBLE place. Absolutely dirty and badly managed. I would have left zero stars for this place if I can. Yes it is rather cheap (~ AUD 30) for a place on a bunk bed but save your money and go stay somewhere else. I should have taken a photo of room K2 to show how bad it is. Having been to many other hostels living in a male-only room, this room is by far the worst ever I have seen. The reception opens at 5-6pm only if you come in the afternoon which does not make sense at all. It is away from the city centre (i.e. Rundle Mall), the surrounding environment is quiet, which is good. It is not far away from the City West tram stop where you can take a free ride on trams to the city centre.
