The staff was very friendly and helpful. The backpacker was surprisingly clean. In this backpacker there is: - free wifi - free bikes - free pool table - free breakfast - on wednesday there's free BBQ! I could sleep very well, no noise. I loved this backpacker! The atmosphere is very friendly and the evening games are very funny and makes easier to meet other people!. We appreciated the calm of the backpack'. It's clean everywere and the staff is very friendly. We enjoyed the big common area, with big tables, comfortables sofas, billard and TV with DVD. One of the best point : the free barbecue on every wednesday evening !.
all reviews » I particularly liked the convenience of breakfast, and the extreme helpfulness of the staff (they explained bus routes to me). I also liked the daily suggestions of things to do. I got a free upgrade so I certainly can't complain. Rooms are tiny, but great fun staying here. You meet loads of interesting people from all over the world and the staff are extremely friendly! Would definitely recommend this for a short stay. Staff was Nice and there where a lot of young people there from all over the world. It's only 10 minutes walk to the shopping center, botanic gardens etc. Had a really nice time there!. Good atmosphere inside the hostel Staff were extremely helpful and provided good advice on what was interesting to visit in Adelaide Free barbecue Cleanliness. regulations of the hotel free offers respectful and friendly attitude of the staff and the guests. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice relaxing area with bar. Location. Handbasin in room. Easy afterhours access. good common areas. free bike hiring. Convenient location and shared bathrooms were clean and not busy. Location is good. Large room. providing breakfast. There is nothing that I didn't like. This backpacker was a really nice surprise for me. While I was staying in the Guest House, it was inconvenient to have to constantly cross the road to access the wifi. A little cramped if you book 3 in a room. 1 or 2 is alright, for more than 2 I would suggest staying the Guest house. Bigger rooms. But if you're a traveller, student or just a bunch of friends on a budget this is an excellent place to stay. No idea. Maybe some heating is required, as well as better A/C sockets. nothing. The bathroom could have been a little bit cleaner, not too bad though! The breakfast was a bit poor and not very well handled. Not sure whether I was helping myself to another guest's milk when serving myself a cornflakes breakfast. the room was a bit cold. Comfort is not up to value for money. Street noise, Beeping traffic sign al, no wifi in guest house. Not clean, old facilities.
