Excellent common areas and large kitchen with free pancakes offered every morning. The place was clean, in a great location and the rooms had very large lockers that would fit even the largest of suitcases.

Location is perfect to visit everything downtown in Adelaide! This place is “green” and so well run! Top notch operation. Free pancakes from 8 AM until 9 AM, can’t beat that! They keep the place super clean, the staff are very nice, the price is great, and they have great relations with the community.

Although in general terms of cleanliness it was fine, the place was... Very outdated. Very old facilities, definitely used up already, very ugly shower curtain, filthy carpet on the floor that started ripping ages ago, old chair (one although we had 3 beds). Beds were average old dorm style beds, with average materace. We even had some old chewing gum stuck to the shower wall. We get the idea that it's 'cheap accomodation option' but it needs some more basic care and maybe some reinvesting profits into renewing some basic facilities. 'Breakfast included' means pancakes with jam everyday. Might sound cool, but it's a pancake mix style breakfast and there's always a queue - they fry 3-6 pancakes at a time, so there's 6-10 people waiting for them at all times.
The staff was friendly and helpful. Location is indeed central. Big space for hanging out so you don't need to be stuck in your room at all!

Would be nice to have more organized activities at the hostel. There were confusions about times of activities as well, so I missed it because the sign put up was misleading/incorrect to what time the event really was. The sinks on the first floor weren’t able to be completely turned off :(
The staff were very friendly. Very nice kitchen. I love the charging outlets inside the lockers, and the lockers were very big! Beds were nice and comfy.

Checking in was a bit stressful as new system didn't seem to work for me... Never got email with pin numbers. Luckily cleaner's around to assist. Light didn't work but was remidied by end of day. Not all guests clean bathroom after themselves. My room close to reception so could be little noisy as guests arrive late night
Room lovely, fridge, kettle, tea/coffee /milk all great extras. Microwave but l didn't use. Bed comfy and nice pillows, all super white and crisp. Lovely soft towels too. Loved the veranda although door sometimes locked
