I stayed at Hostel 109 across the two weeks I was in Adelaide for a small conference held at Adelaide University. This was also the time that Adelaide is most 'alive' - the Fringe Festival, Clipsal car races and the Adelaide Writers Festival were all on at the same time. The hostel was an incredible place to stay during this... More

My boyfriend and I stayed one night to attend a wedding. We'd stayed here before; both this occasion and the previous one in a double room (private room, shared bathroom). This place is great value - clean, quiet, great facilities, most of which we didn't use but it's good to know they are there! Very short walk to the Central... More

this hostel is great- clean rooms, communal space and bathrooms. Peaceful but close enough to everything as Adelaide is very small. slept so well! free wifi is also such a bonus, along with a computer room and good value laundry facilities. very helpful staff also.

I lived at there one night, but the accommodation gives me great impression. It is one of the cleanest hostel I have ever lived before. I reserved a single room at there. I think the room is small, but it meet my demand. The drawback of the single room is lack of sunlight in the daytime. In general, I am... More

The hostel was very nice and friendly, and we stayed in a twin room for two nights. The hostel is located close to downtown (within walking distance). Free high-speed internet is a big plus, as it is quite rare to find. It is good value for money, and I would recommend it for all travellers as a budget option. The... More

Very nice owner who was very helpful with attractions. We had an issue with air conditioning as our room was freezing because it was next to the unit. In the owner's defense, he said he was going to have somebody take a look at it. Very thin walls and you can hear people walking down the halls in manner that... More
