Comments: Airconditioned dormroom was much appreciated in the 40 degree Adelaide weather. No lock ups for valuables. Very close to food and walking distance to Womadelaide at the Bot gardens

Comments: The bathrooms were really dirty and crowded. The showers were just stalls with curtains, so there was nowhere to hang your clothes and towel, and nowhere to change in private. They only give you one sheet to use as a bed sheet and a blanket. You either have to pay for another blanket, or sleep on the bare mattress. The hostel seemed to cater to tour groups, so its a bunch of guests who all already know each other, staying for only one or two nights. So, not a good place for a single traveler. Also, there wasn't enough breakfast or apple pie for even a fraction of the hostel.

Comments: This hostel is not great. It's cheap and the location isn't bad but it's quite dirty and there's no air con in the rooms making them really smelly. The beds are very uncomfortable. The free apple pie isn't worth it. We had to queue for about half an hour and it was cold and still a bit frozen inside. The reception closes very early as well (8.30pm) which was very inconvenient.

Comments: An okay hostel but the large size and vacant spaces of it might not be to everyones taste. The rooms are basic and the place could be cleaner. staff were friendly but with only 1 person on reception at a time there could be lengthy queues.the free breakfast is ok...but don't bet on the free apple pie, because there is not enough to go around!There are no lockers in the rooms to lock up belongings.

Comments: Very big and very noisy. Adelaide isnt the best city for fun anyway so this may have influenced the ratings I gave. There is a decent bar there however.

Comments: People in the building were noisey and there did not appear to be any control over the time people "partied" onto (after midnight). Not appreciated when some people had to be on the go by 6am the next morning. Also one night a lot of noise from outside the building in the adjacent street (Canaon St). There was a continual presence of cigarete smoke in the building the at tomes permaietd through to the bunk room. The laundry facilities were inadequate due to the fact that two washing machines and one dryer were "out of order". Would I stay here again? NO. Would I recommend this facility to others? NO
