Adelaide Travellers Inn Backpackers Hostel

Honestly one of the worst hostels I’ve stayed at. Super old, kinda sketchy vibe, and the room was freezing. I told the guy and he said “it gets warmer when more people sleep in there” (it didn’t). Had to sleep in a hoodie and steal a blanket from another bed and still kept waking up from the cold. Hard pass.

What a ghetto. Lots of long term lodgers. French guys partying all night when not driving scooters for uber eats. And some guy , who never showed his face, in the room next to me, turned the tv on at 9pm, with the volume up to 11 , and finally off at 6am. I could elaborate on the room itself though I’m sure if you’ve read this far you already would have guessed.

Stayed at this hostel for almost two months, and I cried like a baby when I had to leave. The positive vibes and friendly people just get to you after a while. The rooms are clean and air-conditioned, and the location is great! You can easily walk to the city center or take the bus. They recently upgraded the wifi, and it works much better now. Zara is an absolute angel and has truly saved this place. If you're looking for affordable accommodation that feels like shared housing and gives you that warm hostel-family feeling - this is the place. Oh, and there's a cat!

It's a very safe hostel with incredible people! Thanks to Scott for the help and the warm welcome! What a great meeting!

I find it very convenient to live in the hostel. You can find big open park, grocery shop, cool vibe cafes, bus stop and pretty much everything else in walking distance. I lived in the hostel around 3 months so I think I can say pretty much what other long term people would say about the hostel. What I love about living here beside the convenience is that you get to meet all kinds of people/ travelers there. By chance I got to have lovely roomates who are like family, and other friends that all are one of a kind. I also love the leafy balcony that is chilly at the morning and sunny from the afternoon. The cleaniness is actually not the best, and it can be noisy at night depend where is your room. On the other hand you can notice how everyone has their way of caring for the place and each other like planting free herbs, grilling free BBQ hotdogs and organizing leisure events. So its a good place to be in Adelaide, no stress!

This is a great hostel, perfect for solo travelers. The welcoming community of backpackers creates a friendly atmosphere, with plenty of space to relax and socialize. The location is highly convenient, offering easy access to the city 30-35 minutes all and a direct tram to Glenelg Beach. It’s also just a 20-minute walk to the Fringe Festival happening in February-March while it’s true that the kitchen is small, the overall experience makes up for it.

Stayed here for a month while backpacking Australia. Lovely staff really welcoming and friendly lots of activities on and always someone nice to have a beer with 😀 rooms are clean and location is great 15 minute walk into the city or free buss right outside the door. Surrounded by great cafe’s beautiful parks. Will be back !!

I've stayed here now for a month and loved every minute. The manager Zara is fantastic and has managed to create a really homely atmosphere which is great for meeting people. Would highly recommend.
