Had a great stay here, rooms where reasonably priced and had a sink with mirror in it (very handy). Common room was comfy and bar service was nice. Short 10 min walk to get to Rundle Mall and is next to a dominoes, very convenient! Staff were nice and check in was easy.

Absolutely loved this hostel. Offered affordable private room with clean bathroom and toilets. Kitchen offers stove/oven, fridges space to store and cook food. Everyone cleans up after yourself. Great beer garden and location excellent. Staff very freindly offer so much info. Would definitely stay again.

The best and cleanest Hostel in Oz I've been to. The rooms and all areas are cleaned daily. The beds are comfortable. Lovely people, friendly and helpful staff and the Karaoke Sessions were funny. Would always prefer to stay here than in bigger ones! Rates are good.

Nice hostel. Centrally located, yet away from all the craziness. Overnight parking near the hostel is easy to find. Able to walk to the busy parts of town where all the restaurants are. Friendly staff. Wifi is weak I stayed in the dorm room. It worried me because it was right next to the lobby where a lot of people were socializing and working. But sound insulation was really good! Had a good night's sleep

First time to stay in hostel with shared bathroom. Friendly staff, strong & instant hot water shower. Free bbq on Tuesday is bonus, get tenants to mingle around. Location not bad, 15 min walk to Central Market / China Town, 15 min walk to Rundle area. Pleasant experience.

i stayed here with my girl friend, great pizza next door cheap $ 5.00 super value, the hostel lounge area is good for a drink and watch tv, kitchen is small and very dirty not cleaned after people using it. the toilet was ok, sink was blocked with hair disgusting I felt a bit itchy when i was asleep so i woke about 3 am to find a bed bug crawling on stomach, I left that morning to get the hell out of there, then next day i had many red lumps appear on my body, I went to the doctor and he confirmed was bed bugs he gave me some cream to stop me being itchy I never go back there again not worth being eaten from '''''''''BED BUGS'''''''

A nice hostel. The staff is very friendly and helpful. From time to time they also organise some cool events for all people staying in the hostel. The rooms are clean and tidy, the baths are also ok. The only negative thing is the noise coming from the outside. As the hostel is directly neer a big street it was obvious that it will be loud, so it didn't bother us. For people, who wake up by any noise (like me) during the night I recommend using earplugs while staying here.

Room was clean but basic. The window to the street didn't seal properly, which let in noise from the road and street during the night. Toilets and amenities were no frills, but did the job. Main complaint would be noise during the night, particularly from others staying at the hostel; however, it's somewhat to be expected when staying at a hostel ona weekend. All in all, it was okay.

Keep in mind that I'm comparing this place to hostels I've stayed at, not hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts or anywhere like that. Five stars is a pretty big call, but this place really deserves it. It's clean, the beds are comfy enough, and it's cheap. I've stayed at what's called The Guesthouse, which is where you stay if you're travelling with your other half or with friends, because you'll have some semblance of privacy. The price was certainly very appealing, and if you're travelling on a budget, I thought that this was one of the best options.

I've stayed here for one night way back before I moved to Adelaide. In comparison to other hostels I've stayed at it's very clean. And I don't just mean the dorms but also the kitchen and the bathrooms. I've stayed in their building across the road, called The Guesthouse. The 6 bedroom dorm was full and although many people had a lot of baggage on them, there was plenty of space in the room. People at the reception were very friendly and I chatted for a while with a guy who had moved from the UK to Adelaide and now works there. Near the reception you have a small lounge area with free wi-fi and TV. There's also an outside area at the back for all the smokers. The atmosphere stroke me as very relaxed and friendly. It was definitely not a crazy party hostel but people were still socialising and trying to get to know you and where you're from. Luckily I now have my own place in Adelaide and don't need to stay in hostels anymore, but if I had to I certainly wouldn't mind going back here.

Although I have not physically stayed here before I have had some dealings with the owners in the past for employees. They are so supportive and assist to make your holiday more enjoyable. They are pretty cheap compared to a motel but not as cheap as I expected for backpacker accomodation however, I then read their inclusions and when you add in everything you get or have access to you definitely get your money's worht here. Like free breakfast every day and free BBQ dinner and dessert on Wednesdays. There's heaps of entertainment put on for guests and the location is fantastic. Central to anything and everything. They also have 24/7 free Wi-Fi. Details and rates can be found on their website. Best part from my view, these guys will help you get a job while you are here! In fact, I rang them for staff I needed for an event and not only did they call me back within a few hours with numbers but they also dropped them all off at the venue in the morning and picked them up in the afternoon. Granted it wasn't far but it's the above all others service that gives them the edge.
