    The double room and the bed was tiny. Felt a bit like a prison cell.

    Fantastic property and location

    The fact that no one has vacuumed the air vent in the bathroom in forever That the cracks to the drain in the sink were so mouldy it made us gag when we brushed our teeth The lock not working to the door. They attempted to fix but it didn't end up working.

    The feel of the place was positive and fun. I personally enjoyed the higgledy piggeldy-ness if the building and took me right back to my days working in a backpackers in UK

    At $30 per night U don't expect a palace, it's a worn old place but the cleanliness of carpets, floors, dusting, bathroom floors etc could improve with more frequency of cleaning & attention to detail.

    Receptionist was very helpful with info. Re buses to WOMAD & nice. I got fantastic sleep every night in a 6bed mixed form, no noise from outside or within. Was it that the many French travellers there just considerate people?

    As much as I liked the friendly vibe, the place wasn't clean at all. There was a little blood stain on my bedsheet, once the toilet was clogged with someone's poop, there were uncovered sanitary napkins in the room bin which was too gross

    The location is good, staff is super friendly, the hostel cat is so great!

    There wasn't a lot of organisation, we didn't know who was in charge as a lot of the people who stay there have stayed there for a long time, and they took charge of the place. Apparently the manager was arrested a couple weeks before we stayed. There's a tiny kitchen, with one sink, one stove and no windows, so it was hard cooking as it was filled with people and got very hot quickly. The location was also pretty far from the city centre, we ended up moving to another hostel that was close and better managed.

    You can use herbs that grow in the back for free for your food. There was a TV and game boards downstairs for entertainment, and a massive balcony upstairs. Not too expensive so worth the price.

    Okay for one night

    I didn’t like the cleanliness in the room including the bed sheets and the floor and facilities in the bathroom! More space in the room, shelfs and/or lockers to lock my stuff and valuables would have been helpful. In addition it could have been a nicer light in the room as there is only one bright ceiling light but no individual bedside light. The Wi-Fi was really bad. No access in the rooms, but even in the lounges it didn’t work stable. For me the stay was okay for one night, but I wouldn’t have felt there comfortable for longer.

    The staff was so kind and helpful! They showed me around, connected me with other travellers, were very very friendly and were quite interested in me. It was easy to book and to check in as it was even possible to have access to the room earlier as agreed. The hostel is easy to reach, busses to city and the beach are nearby and many cafes are around. There is a lot of free food to use in the kitchen (e.g. seasonings, oils).

    The WLAN just works in common areas and is not very good there. This is a shame for a hostel located in the center of Adelaide, a city where you can get good free WLAN at almost every busstop.

    Good location, supermarket right next to it, nice staff, kitchen was fine
