Really nice hostel. Staff were lovely, beds were comfortable. The bathrooms are a little old in style but very nice and clean and functional. Would definitely stay again
Staying on a ground floor can be a little interesting at night as people walk down the road next to the hostel right outside your window. But hey a bit of free entertainment and it was never excessively loud, I always slept through it easily, even with the window open

It's clean and good location.
I was asked to leave. The reason. That they gave was a very big lies and I was asked if I could afford to stay here. And was asked to prove that I could stay. And my itinerary and when I told him I was here to go to a funeral and dealing with my sister estate. They gave me a excuse that I have drugs in my bags and this is why I was asked to go. I asked them to call police and they refused. Not happy with my stay at yha Adelaide. And I have seeking legal advice and advice them of the notice of intention to sue or seek compensation from them i wish to say thanks to Booking.com Customer Service Team.

The hostel I always go back to before and after my work trips.
Clean, well organized and spacious.
Thanks
Only the fact that you cant change your phone next to your bed.
A part from that, all perfect.

The lady at reception was welcoming for 12am at night. I liked the tap card for the women's bathroom assuming only women could enter women's bathrooms.
When I walked into the room, I couldn't identify my bed because they all looked used. Finally, after some time we talked to the receptionist and decided that the unmade best with crumbled sheets still on it was vacant. I then made my own bed. Safety was also a concern as the lockers had no safety mechanisms and I could've easily been robbed by anyone with half a brain.

Nice staff, cute communal areas
The beds were absolutely awful. Tiny metal frames that swing around and squeak really loudly at the slightest shift. Had to make our own beds, which considering I arrived at midnight and had to make my top bunk bed, I woke up the whole dorm. There is no storage next to the beds or charging ports, so there is nowhere to put water, room key, phone, etc when sleeping - which is a major major issue. Overall the bedrooms were the worst hostel I’ve ever stayed in.

Good location. Place to store luggage safely. Good price.
My private room was good for the most part. But the toilet flushing had some issues. The $12 breakfast was not that great. Very basic continental.

the kitchen and dining/lounge area was lovely with lots of space and a really clean and relaxing atmosphere
the toilet and showers were a little bit dated and pressure was less than experienced in previous hostels

Siempre la cadena YHA esta bien, la verdad que no estuvimos mucho pero todo super bien. Baños limpios! La cocina era amplia, bien equipada y todo organizado.
Tenia una Sala de juegos y lectura ademas de la sala de estar con hermosos ventanales a la ciudad.
Ofecian muchas actividades y el personal muy amable y predispuesto.
No hay nada que no nos haya gustado

Ero già stata in un YHA a Byron Bay e devo dire che la prima impressione è confermata. In assoluto il mio preferito!
Lo staff organizza cene ed eventi per tutti, anche gratis. Ottimi momenti per socializzare!
Niente.

I like it near bus STOP when you get off bus and felt very tired just walking distance to YHA. Reception also OPEN 24 hours a day. It NEVER closed.
It is getting more and more EXPENSIVE for private room particularly with inside bathroom and toilet room. Sometimes more EXPENSIVE than motel rooms in North Terrace, but bed less comfortable than motel rooms.

Super Central, super nette Leute, man trifft gleich auf irgendjemanden. Man ist nicht allein, wenn man es nicht will.
Es haben unter Steckdosen in dem Einzelzimmer gefehlt, aber ich weiß, dass die Zimmer gerade renoviert werden.

- Les espaces communs sont grands et adaptés à différents besoins (détente, cuisine, travail, rencontre des personnes, ...). Ils sont bien équipés.
- la cuisine est grande équipée de plusieurs plans de travail, d'immenses frigos et de nombreux casier où stoquer la nourriture
- Les casiers des chambres ont une tailles correctes et sont équipés de deux prises (il faut avoir un cadenas avec soi).
- le personnel est très sympathiques et à l'écoute
- odeur salle de bain du bas (mais on peut utiliser celles du haut)
- le matériel de la cuisine pourrait être mieux entretenu (couteau non aiguisé, poêle griffée)

I had a nice and spacious room to myself, with balcony. The kitchen is big and have many facilities to use, and the location of the hostel is great. Staff is really kind.
The room doesn't isolate noise well and also the aircon is too loud. There are not enough bathrooms, and would be good that not all of them are cleaned/fixed at the same time. The kitchen could have some free basic amenities, like sugar and salt for cooking, I expected a little bit more for the price I paid.

We had a spacious double en suite room with a desk and coffee making facilities, so that was a big plus. Location is great for everything in the city. Well-equipped communal kitchen.
Luggage storage room was very full and chaotic, with a lot of old and broken things taking up valuable storage space.
