Hostel 109 Flashpackers

Cheap and cheerful. Staff are nice and my room was clean. It's very close to the city and a short walk from Central Markets. Expect to hear noise from other rooms as it used to be an office and still has the same false ceiling so noise travels easily but it is really good value.

Pretty nice for a hostel. Stayed in a private double. The room was clean, had a fan, and they gave us towels. Bathrooms didn't have soap, which is a huge pet peeve of mine, although they did give us our own soap bars, but who really wants to carry their own soap with them to the bathroom? Showers had a lot of mold growing on the walls but had ample space, good flow, and enough hot water.

Hostel staff and Trevor were pleasant to deal with. I personally feel cleanliness of the rooms and toilets could be attended to a bit better. It is really unfortunate how thin the walls are and how creaky the floor is. My room was very hot due to minimal ventilation and no aircon or fan. Quite a few long-term Australian guests residing at the hostel. Parking out the front is free, just be sure to not get fined between 9am and 5:30pm! I enjoyed sitting out on the balcony, surrounded by the beautiful Jacarandas! I think this hostel has potential, but I understand it has financially been a hard time. I would stay here again though.

NOT DISABLE FRIENDLY for wheel chairs/mobility aids. The staff are fantastic though they assisted in every way they could to help, as the booking site stated they were DISABLE FRIENDLY but unfortunately large flight of stairs to hostel rooms bathrooms kitchen etc. suggestions would be #1some hi visy tape on the small steps entering bathrooms etc as tripping/ fall hazard at night and if unaware there is a small step. #2 fridges need cleaned out every so.often as they both smell of off or rotting foods. Other wise a pleasant peaceful stay, long term guests are very friendly

It really depends on what you’re looking for in terms of accomodation. The price is cheap for what you get, which is a bed to sleep pretty much. It was nice of them to give me a table and a closet for a single bedroom. The bed and furniture are pretty clean. However, be aware that there are really thin walls that you will be able to hear what’s happening next door (coughs, people watching TV, cooking, etc). This will guarantee keep you up at night. For me this is a huge negative, I may as well book to bunk with other people. It’s also quite obvious that the building itself used to be a office building. Doesn’t bother me as much but may bother some people. What bothered me the most is that there isn’t any windows in my room, just be aware that is possible when booking a room. Be aware that wifi is very slow if that’s something you care about. Nice view outside on the balcony which I enjoyed and quite close to Chinatown.

Stayed 3 nights as booked but I didn't like it here. Check-in took quite long, the walls are paper thin so you hear everything in the kitchen or the next room. Wifi is hit and miss. No atmosphere as there seems to be lots of long termers. The air con is centrally controlled, I would have liked it to be a couple of degrees cooler. Kitchen is dirty and the hostel just generally needs a good upgrade, it's still quite obvious it's an old office building Good location though and some of the staff are friendly

I remember it was my first time in Adelaide and I was apprehending my choice of hostel but this hostel has exceeded my expectations. It is not in the city centre itself but it's always nice to walk a bit to discover the surroundings as well. The hosts were so nice yet professional from day one ongoing. Bathrooms, lounge, rooms and kitchen were kept clean. But most importantly I felt safe at all time. If you're a solo traveler like me, this place is for you :)

Beds are rooms are clean and comfortable. Kitchen is small but has plenty of equipment. Atmosphere in the hostel is a bit dull with many people over the age of 50. Wifi isn’t great. Overall not a terrible place. If you’re looking for somewhere quiet and close to most things in Adelaide this hostel is fine.
