Booked online for 4 nights stay in a twin room. Room is spacious with one double bed and one single bed, a cupboard and a writing desk. Room located on ground floor facing the main road and was noisy at night when people talk on the street or walk past your room window. Didn't get our beauty sleep. Wish we... more

I agree with the other reviews - modern, clean, spacious rooms, newly built a few years ago. Just a turnoff for me: it has the flair of a hospital. Unfortunately they were fully booked in Oct and I had to stay in a 2-bed-room for a shocking AUD70/night for the whole room. Thumbs up for this one. more

This hostel is located very centrally in Adelaide and its extremely clean. The facilities are excellent including two pool tables and a dart board. The YHA travel office attached to the hostel also offere great advice and tours for onnward travel. more

Stayed in the YHA for two nights in January 2009. I have stayed in a lot of YHA hostels around the world including the 5 star hostel in Wellington, NZ.

Adelaide YHA was one of the better hostels I stayed at during a month-long trip around the country. Its location is great - one block from the central bus station, where airport shuttles drop off and from where bus tours leave to go to Kangaroo Island. Plus it's a quick walk to many restaurants, parks, and shops. And the Adelaide... more

For someone not very familiar with hostel accommodation I was impressed. I walked in and immediately felt safe, comfortable and at home. This was mainly due to the fact that the organisation and order of the YHA was made so obvious and this was comforting to know. Also, the staff seemed to not only be incredibly knowledgeable but friendly and... more

I would rate my stay at the YHA backpacker hostel at a seven out of ten. I found the YHA rooms to be to be very clean, but the cleanliness of the facilities such as the toilets and basins, could have been better. Apart form not really talking to the staff very much, when I did they seemed friendly and... more

We went to the YHA backpacker hostel in Adelaide with a school group to experience what it would be like to be a backpacker for the day. After dreading the trip prior to going, with the notion that backpacker hostels will be unclean, there will be no one to talk to, there will be bad facilities and the toilets/showers will... more

As I am studying year 12 Tourism this year, our school went to the Adelaide central YHA to gather primary information for our summative assignment. I had never stayed at a hostel before therefore had no expectations. Upon arrival I discovered that it almost looked like a motel reception area which was quite modern and clean. The staff who welcomed... more
