Comments: a nice enough hostel, the rooms were cool so it was easy to sleep. the free breakfast was a little dissappointing though. there was only cereal and the milk wasnt cold. the television room was very spacious and comfortable with dvds on offer to watch.

Comments: Very friendly hostel with comfy beds and lots of interacting backpackers. The rooms are pretty small, which was a bit difficult with everyone's large packs. Overall the facilities are adequate, but a bit run down.

Comments: Cute homely place, but the dorm does not have windows! Activities are organised so backpackers can meet each other, which is good. Probably needs more than one internet terminal though.

Comments: My place is a well run establishment that is great in Charecter. The owner and staff do their most to make you welcome and have a fine stay in Adelaide. This one of those small family style hostels that everyone shares the time to get to know you. The people who stay here are the one who enjoy travel stories and the joy of sharing the experence of travel life. My Place will be a hostel that you will always remember for its fine European stlye service and cheerful staff. It is close to everything .

Comments: Leaving Australia soon but have been to Adelaide and My Place three times! That is how much I considered this hostel my own. It is always like one big family here. So many great memories cooking a bbq on balcony, stories shared in the kitchen or having a drink at Grace Emily across the road. (Pool table only 40 cents, great deal!) Miss you all, will come back for sure. Bye Adelaide, My Place!

Comments: was a disaster staying at this place our room was infested with bedbugs. I have never seen bedbugs in my life until i stayed at this hostel. There were three of us staying in that room and all had been bitten you could see them crawling on the beds at night and the blood trails. I was the most infected as i had an allergic reaction to them and ended up being on anitbiotics for weeks not to mention the scarring that took months to disappear.. nice place but i dont think id stay there again... i had to clean out my bags etc cause they were hiding in them also...

Comments: Probably the best all round hostel we stayed in in Australia! Andrea is so helpful (and seems to be an expert in multi-tasking!). Stayed here twice and had a great time - it\'s nice and relaxed with plenty to do at the same time! Highly recommended.

Comments: It was a really small room with no lockers and no windows. There were too little facilities for everyone to use (only 1 female toilet for everyone) and 3 showers in total) The staff was really nice.

Comments: Seemed pretty nice, but only here for 2 nights... If passing through again I\'d stay here, but seemed more set up for people on RTW trips as they did a load of activities in the evenings...

Comments: Staff friendly and helpfull, only thing that spoilt this hostel was the 'clicky' attitude of the longtermers who stuck to their own, us passer by's left out a bit and kept awake all night. Okay but could of been better!

Comments: You can walk everywhere you want from here, which was nice. The rooms, however, were really cramped and the fellow travelers weren't that friendly, which I thought was strange. The lady at the front was very helpful and nice, so that balanced things out. The balconey is cute, but in the winter it's not so great for hanging out.
