“ This hostel is fine - there are no facilities on site, so you have to use those at Adelaide, but it's close and worth the short walk. However, we had a real issue with bedbugs here so not the cleanest place we've stayed!! ”

“ The location is brilliant! We had a 4-bed private room, which was nice and clean, the bathroom is a bit old, but the price is right and we had a GREAT time! Free breakfast at the Adelaide hostel also rocks. ”

“ It was ok, not the best hostel I've stayed in, however it was somewhere to sleep. Staff were very helpful with all my questions. If I had to do it again, I would probably stay in Adelaide, more facilities and a better vibe. ”
