Glenelg Beach Hostel

Great place. Wonderful atmosphere from all. Its good to see people from all over the world, mingling in with each other. Excellent location and a 2-3 minute walk to the beach and bars. If you tell Tony (the owner) that you support Celtic, you'll get on great.

Really nice hostel with a perfect location, just around the corner from the beach. Showers were clean and worked well. Rooms were clean and beds quite comfy, all single beds! No bunks! The only downside I could see is the wifi did not reach the bedroom. Had to go to the living room, but it was free and worked well. Glenelg is a beautiful place and this hostel is definitely worth the stay if you are looking to be in this area. Only a 25 min tram ride into cbd.

Was assaulted by a guest 5 times by being kicked in the back and arm. Parking okay. Bed too hard, room was stifling at night as the fan was turned off and I was abused if I turned it on. 2 spreads and 3 types of toast = breakfast. Was good for 2 nights but wouldn't stay here long term unless I had my own room.

Place seemed clean - facilities ok - kitchen with plenty of crockery, payg washing machines, washing line, 2 showers on my floor (3) - i didnt use them but they looked ok. My bed was comfy- linen (but not towel) supplied. No handtowel or dryer in the toilet though. The girl who checked me in couldnt be bothered to show me anything i.e. the back stairs we access at night to get to our rooms, nor kitchen or other facilities. I felt she needed a slight attitude adjustment. Lounge room could of done with a couple more sofas - they only had 2 plus a vinyl bench. Good location. Free parking you can get at the right time of day around the surrounding streets. If you're from adelaide or SA and you live here, you cant stay because, as i was told "we're an international hostel only and locals cant stay - but for this one time i'll let you because you dont live in Adelaide itself" (i live 70 mins away). Glenelg has great cheap food and plenty of beach. Different girl who checked me out seemed nicer.

Great location, closed by the beach and restaurants. People could have free car park for 2 hrs at Heigh street from 9am-5pm. Shower is bit small but clean. There is no heater in the 6- bed dorm room, but it's okay in June though.

I didn't stay here as a backpacker, I lived there as a child in the late 60s to the early 70s. We lived in the second one from the right at the bottom for a while, then moved to the upper floor for a year. It was an awesome place back then, the whole of Glenelg was, that is until the developers came in and spoilt the place.. I always loved these Terrace houses though, i'm glad they are still standing!!

Perfect location, right close to the beach. But there were like 2 sockets for a dorm of 5 people, that was ridiculous. Bathroom you had to go outside to get there and the light was on a timer so you had to keep leaving the shower to switch it back on. Not great overall.

Private room with shared bathroom... you can not beat the location. Hostel crew were on top of every little bump that came up... many guests were friendly and happy. Hilarious that the bar downstairs applies to all rooms so don't b.y.o y'all....having said that when it came to the green I swear most guests were packing it smelt like a Snoop Dogg concert 🤣 I anticipated it I'm just peeved they didn't share.
