    I think the bedroom needs to have the too inside.

    The location has a good access and parking. The property is clean.

    Rooms are dirty and never cleaned up with care, same for the room's bathroom, the bed is really uncomfortable, the mattress is old, bumpy, stained and it doesn't even have a mattress cover on it, moreover they never change the linen unless you ask for it (and you change them by yourself). No bed light, no wi-fi in the room, no drawers or wardrobe or at least something where you can store your belongings and lock them. The kitchen is quite small, fridges are dirty (they just throw away unlabeled food twice per month, without cleaning up). The reception is open just a few hours in the morning and in the afternoon, and everything is badly organised. Icing on the cake, it's pretty expensive (but still cheaper than Tequila or YHA, that's the only reason why people keep choosing it).

    Nice common area and balcony area with BBQ, other guests were pretty nice, my room had its own air conditioning system (old but working well), there's a small parking lot (4 cars) and the manager tried her best to fix all the problems the hostel has.

    -Not the cleanest hostel. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't good either. -There weren't enough outlets for everyone in the room. -only one stove, one toaster, and one kettle in the kitchen. -showers were lukewarm and had low pressure.

    -There is parking, but it's only two or three spots and it's first come, first serve. -The beds are OK. It's just a large piece of foam, but it was thick enough not to feel the bars of the bed.

    Very dirty, tiny kitchen so never any room to cook, only about 2 toilets for the whole hostel and all the facilities were filthy. Never seemed to be anyone cleaning anything and only one poor person on reception/attempting to clean

    Very small hostel, mostly long termers all super friendly and sociable. Good location in town centre, cheapest accommodation in Adelaide so although still relatively expensive I suppose you get what you pay for.

    Good Backpacker Hostel Experience.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Double Room with Private Bathroom
    • Stayed 2 nights

    There could be a whatsapp number provided for guests checking in late otherwise seeing a locked door for a foreign guest is confusing and then he or she cannot call a Australia number with their own mobile number. I was lucky that the Reception girl had heard me knocking at the door. Also need clear updates by Booking dot com messaging service as to how to check in and how to reach the hostel. The kitchen pantry area is quite messed up and dirty as most of the crockery and cutlery lies unwashed in the sink. Need to provide at least coffee/ tea and basic breakfast like bread and butter and cereal for guests.

    Travelling to Adelaide Traveller's Inn Backpackers' Hostel was quite comfortable even though took some time. The Adelaide Bus Drivers were quite helpful. The Room was good and comfortable and there was a supermarket next door and a pub close by and a Cathedral within walkable distance. The guests in the hostel were great.

    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).
