Auberge très pratique, juste à côté de l'arrêt de bus pour aller à l'aéroport. Je recommande pour un séjour sur Adélaïde !

Solid stay at YHA Adelaide, was only there to sleep the night but the guy at the front hooked me up with a room to myself and I happily got a good sleep and run in before my next travel plan the next morning!

An older man working at reception appeared to engage in excessive and intrusive monitoring... Extremely slow internet. Poor cleaning standards. Duvet covers are not changed—you end up sleeping with the duvet used by the previous guest. You literally have to beg staff to keep you in the same bed, as beds are changed randomly. The toilets are dirty. There are far too many rules; guests are not allowed to bring alcohol. When there is an event in town, prices are massively inflated. If prices were...

Brilliant hostel with helpful staff, a big kitchen, spacious living area, balcony, towels and bedding provided, TV and quiet rooms, and activities organised by the hostel. Close to Chinatown, shops, and tram to Glenelg. Only a few negatives: prices go up when there’s an event in the city, a few showers out of order but plenty others available. Quite a lot of solo travellers keeping to themselves but still a sociable place without being a noisy party hostel.

Basic Hostel that contains everything you need. Facilities are a bit old, nevertheless their cleanness is okay. Very good value for the price would definitely stay again.

Great hostel in the centre of Adelaide. The staff are friendly and the rooms are clean. Beds were comfortable, but it would have been nice to have a power socket at the bed. The showers were clean, powerful, and could usually always get one even at peak times. The reception is good - they can advise on everything, sell refreshments, and the free sunscreen was a nice bonus. The complimentary breakfast I thought was very good. Atmosphere was a little stale but nothing bad. Would stay again.

Es waren einige ältere grauhaarige alleinstehende Männer in dem Hostel und Familien mit Kindern, sodass die klassischen Backpacker eher wenig vertreten waren und man schwer Kontakte knüpfen konnte. Ein großer negativer Punkt für mich ist, dass man, sobald man auscheckt ohne die Karte nicht mehr die Toilette, den Laundryroom und den Gemeinschaftsraum nutzen kann, außer man fragt explizit nach einer orangenen Karte. Das Personal reagiert dann genervt… no go!

Très bonne auberge à Adélaïde : propre, literie confortable et dortoir féminin calme, possibilité d'emprunter une serviette de bain gratuitement, et localisation pratique tout prêt de l'arrêt de bus avec transport pour aller et venir de l'aéroport. Je recommande !

Great location, I was able to walk to most things and get buses/trams to everything else. The hostel is not the most social but they did put on events every couple of days like BBQ and walking tours. It says you can’t stay more than 2 weeks but it’s clear some people live at the hostel. Kitchen was cleaned regularly and kept to a good standard. Lots of spaces to chill in

Big age range of people from 18 to 70+. As with most YHA’s, clean and great location but not the greatest set up for socialising. Few events you can join but not at the times I was there.

Overall a pretty good hostel. Is mostly very clean, the staff are super helpful and the common area/kitchen facilities are very good. Only thing i would say is that the bathrooms can sometimes be a bit unclean, and feel like they need a bit of a refurb in places. Other than that i would recommend this hostel and it’s in a great location which is very central to adelaide

YHA Adelaide was clean, neat & economic. Plus there’s an interstate Bus Station nearby -it is only a short walk away. There’s a great cafe across the road too.
