Hostel Backpack Oz
144 Wakefield Street, Adelaide Central Business District, 5000 Adelaide, Australia – Great location - show map
Sam is really awesome and helpful!!!! They even have social dinner for ppl who is staying the hostel which is amazing.

I loved this hostel and would absolutely stay here again! Wonderful treatment from the beginning. My flight arrived ridiculously early in the morning and they let me store my bags while I went out for the day. Upon check-in, the staff-member (actually, I think he was the manager or owner?) upgraded me from a 12-bed mixed dorm to a 6-bed female dorm, which was an incredible gesture! Between the friendly service, bathtub, balcony, etc., the hostel itself feels like a home - and a very clean one at that! They offer a free basic breakfast (toast, cereal, coffee, & tea), and the bread is delicious. They also offer free pizza, chili, and icecream / movie nights, which was great. Plenty of games, books, and video games at your disposal. Overall, a great place to stay.

not only the place and staff but people who lives here offers such a great vibes. I stayed like for 5 days and I never felt homesick. Made some good friends from across the globe.

The nice staff and series of events hold and free food available several times a week. It’s very convenient to city center, short walking or a bus in front.

Super friendly and helpful staff. Excellent environment for making new friends.

excellent location, friendly staff and very clean premises. Good value for money and very close to CBD and public transport.

stayed at the hostel for a subsequent trip to the kangaroo island. I recommend this hostel to everyone. clean, comfortable, inexpensive, friendly atmosphere, friendly, helpful staff, great location. I especially wanted to note the incident that happened to me during my stay in Adelaide. Since the tour to the kangaroo island was for 2 days, one night I spent the night on the island. going on an excursion, I forgot a swimsuit in the hostel on the bed. Returning from the tour, I did not find him. The hostel staff willingly helped me solve this problem. They slept with me in the room. It turned out that she just took my swimsuit. I ordered me his registered mail in Sydney. Many thanks to them for this. I recommend this hostel to everyone during their stay in Adelaide

Staff were great and it was very clean x everyone friendly xx

It was quiet and people were friendly. I really appreciate the free meals they do at night although I didn’t eat at the hostel.

Friendly staff and great location. Loved the free dinners. Overall pretty clean.
