I had a great experience staying at this hostel. It’s the kind of place where you can easily meet people from all over the world, share stories, and hang out in the cozy common areas designed for socializing. The staff is friendly and helpful.

The hostel is walking distance to Central Market and Chinatown, where are plenty of restaurants and supermarkets. Furthermore, it is also close to Rundle Mall and State Library of South Australia. What's more, the bed was comfy and the shower (water pressure) was good. The kitchen was wonderful , which also provided hot water and cold water 24/7. We stayed at a 4 beds dorm that had plenty of space to put our belongings. Windows were big so that the room was bright and comfortable even without turning on the air-condition. Also, the room was quiet so that we had very good sleep at night. The car park was just ext to the hostel, which was very convenient. YHA Adelaide Central is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed.

I had a very nice stay at the hostel. The price is very cheap and the place is small and cozy with a very friendly and helpful owner :) Some books to read and a TV area, which was very nice. There were many small but convenient things you'd usually not get in a hostel, for example there was a hairdryer to use for everyone in the shower room. I enjoyed my stay and had a good time.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Nice staff (very helpful organising your time and tourist activities to make the best of your time there, according to your needs, a and budget). Great atmosphere. Clean and comfy facilities and big, easy-to-lock lockers in the room. Well organised in general. I think, so far, the best hostel I have been to in Australia. Not the cheapest in Adelaide, but there is a good reason for that, Totally worth it.

    I liked the common area, there is many sofas and tables. Kitchen looked good as well. The manager is lovely and caring and so were the guests. Very respectful and quiet, it is a small hostel and felt like a safe environment. It is probably the cheapest hostel i found on my 1.5 year australia trip

    great location next to semaphore beach and a short 10-15 min drive from the city. Derrick was VERY helpful on front desk, ensured we kept our double room for as long as we needed it due to car troubles & the hostel seems like it’s been renovated including rooms, kitchen, toilets/showers & security is amazing! never felt unsafe and everyone was very friendly! definitely recommend staying here (also free parking over the road for 24 hours which is great!) will stay again for sure if in Adelaide
