This hostel is located in a very convenient location, which is quite close to both the Adelaide Firefly express bus station, the Glenelg tram stop at Pirie Street and the Adelaide train station. The bathroom, kitchen and the bedroom are quite clean. The staff at the service desk is helpful, and it is quite nice that every morning there would be free pancakes available for the residents. I ate the pancakes for two mornings, and there was a Chinese guy who cooked the pancakes quite well.

We got a good deal on this room. It's basic, as you'd expect. There are several charging ports and a desk. The whole feel of the accommodation is quite eerie, as if it was used for a hospital in the past. The location is central, and a few streets away to the seemingly main street with pubs, clubs etc. Downstairs there is a tuck shop which is useful when you don't want to go out to a shop, the prices are not bad (I paid 2.80 for a can of Sanpellegrino). The guy at the front desk was very nice and answered questions we had about the area.
Would not recommend. On one hand you get what you pay for, the facilities are mostly decent considering what you pay (shower could use an update). The location is okay and the building is pretty secure. There are lockers available on a first come first serve basis, but remember to bring your own padlock. On the other hand, exceptionally abhorrent customer service. As in the worst I've come across anywhere. Not the start you want to a holiday, that's for sure. Greeted with a lecture about using an online booking site when I stepped into the venue. Offered them a few suggestions, to help resolve the issue of the evil booking site overlords, and got shot down. Place wasn't the cleanest. Pretty low atmosphere. If you're tight on your budget, take a chance with the customer service roulette wheel. Keep in mind it's only cheap if you don't want any extras, doing laundry or having a drink will start hitting your wallet pretty excessively. Otherwise I'd shop around you can probably get better value for your dollars elsewhere if you spend a little more upfront. TL;DR Good: Cheap Bad: Customer service, cleanliness, excessive extra costs (laundry, alcohol)
Perfect! Very chilled out, no noisy idiots who want to constantly get smashed. Staff were so friendly and helpful - they gave us great advice on nearby parking, cheap food, job searching and what there is to see and do in Adelaide. For an extra few dollars, you get speedy WiFi and a decent breakfast! The kitchen, along with the rooms and communal areas, is very spacious with all kitchen supplies readily available without having to pay a deposit. Only a couple of blocks away from the main shopping and bars area.
Service is pretty good. They told us where to park for free for the whole stay and the tram is for free as well (from and to certain stops). Rooms very basic and our room smelled weird. Blanket and stuff were clean. Rooms got AC and very few powerplugs. 27 per night in a 10 bed dorm (too much if you ask me.). Huge community room with books, many couches and tables, TV and Wifi, which was very very slow though. Very calm and quit atmosphere in the week, don't know about the weekends. The other guests are very friendly and helpful too. Kitchen was pretty good and clean, but the amount of space in the fridge was little. Toilets have been cleaned every day, but some of the other guests couldn't clean up after themselves which was disgusting. The location was pretty good and central, but the parking situation is terrible (well, it's central Adelaide). It's easier to stay there without having a car.
The hostel is relatively clean and well located, but there seems to be little control over guests' behaviour and noise levels. Some common areas are located right outside of bedrooms, which allows for people to party until 4 in the morning with little regards to other guests. I would rate the hostel higher if only I could've slept more than a few hours.
Rooms quite cramped but fairly priced, cheap alcohol available at reception
It was an excellent stay, quite peaceful and relaxing,will definitely stay there again. Good: The sitting area, staff, clean bathrooms Bad: Ac was not that great but it was alright
