This property is perfect for people of all ages looking for value for money and a comfortable stay. It is central to the Adelaide CDB and close to the Adelaide markets. Inclusive and accessible.
One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at in Australia. Rooms were cleaned daily, beds comfortable, bathrooms clean. Kitchen got a big messy at times but do not believe that was at fault of the management but rather the other guests. Was spotless every morning. Lots of utensils, appliances and space to be shared!
Reception was super friendly and check in/out was quick and easy! Short walk into city centre and bus stops to access beaches around the corner!
Particularly friendly and informative staff. I even received access to bathrooms, kitchen & dining room and quiet room for the rest of the day after I had checked out. The only slight negatives I had were finding space in refrigerators in the kitchen to store my stuff, and the fact that guests ignored the request to dry and replace kitchen crockery and utensils after they had rinsed or washed them.
Handy location. Walking distance to Central Market, library, museum and many coffee shops. Recommend Elementary Coffee which is a couple streets down. We stayed in a private with ensuite and it was everything we needed. Had never stayed in a hostel before and as the mom of 20 somethings thought it was all dorms. It’s not and there were others my age or older.
Staff were lovely, parking was a pain until I knew of paid secure parking. Only problems there isn't much for children to do there and no nearby parks. Also there was a permanent smell in the woman's toilets on G level. Overall though great for a tempory stay. Don't forget to label your food 😉
I stayed in a single room at YHA for 5 nights and really enjoyed my experience. All staff were super friendly and happy to help wherever they could. Having staff available at all hours of the day was also handy. The shared kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, crockery, cutlery and salt/pepper, and there was always room to cook alongside other guests. Travelling for work, I particularly enjoyed the number of spaces available for me to work when I needed a change of scenery. Wifi was also excellent. Room was very large and clean, and the shared bathroom was also clean (despite a number of showers being out of order, I never had to wait for facilities). Highly recommend the YHA as an affordable, comfortable accommodation option!
Room was fine for a standard hostel, very basic. We had a private room.
Kitchen area was GREAT so many ovens and stove tops, loads of fridges for food......really good.
The one thing that drove us INSANE on a 40 degree day, you had to go down to reception to get the AC turned on/off. So we are calling reception at 2am to get it turned off, no one answers, so we have to walk down the stairs at 2am. Just really puffed us off. I understand why they do it, but it meant we were then away till 4am trying to get back to sleep after going downstairs
