Receptionist was the positively delightful and helpful Samantha! (She carried my heavy luggage in from the street, offered to book the taxi... - thank you, Samantha). Good bunks, height. Good bathrooms, appreciate the women's only loo/shower/vanity. BUT I'm afraid I have to mention the lack of ventilation in the (women's) dorms #1, #2. Seemed that other rooms, too had to... More

I love My Place! When I first got to Adelaide, all the hostels were terrible, and I ended up going to 4 different ones before My Place finally opened up and I got a room. The hostel has pretty much everything a backpacker could want. Free wifi, free breakfast (which includes muesli and hard-boiled eggs), a ping-pong table, a pizza... More

I've stayed in a few hostels and this was by far the dirtiest one ever. The bathrooms were disgusting and the kitchen left much to be desired! Great place if you are on a budget otherwise really really not worth it! We lucked in to a double room right next to the front entrance and reception...we didn't sleep at all!... More

No windows in any rooms, no air con with 35 C, when asked for parking they assured to have space and the very day after it was full with no considerations for our request. We asked for the possibility to book the second day in place and not in advance and at our arrival they overbooked and we needed to... More

We stayed for two nights in My Place, we booked for a double room but after checking-in we were told that due to some mistake in booking, we can only stay in double room for one night and then we'll have to move to the dorm. As we were pretty tired at the time we accepted it. Let's start with... More

You come in and they say hello like you're an old friend. The staff is everyone helpful, in a good mood and it's clean. The rooms are small but there is a big balcony and enough space to sit in the kitchen or TV room. The hostel is small, so everybody says hello and it's easy to find people for... More

I stayed here for 5 nights in October 2012. They picked me up from the train station and drove me to the hostel. I was in a 5 bed room for $25/night I believe. Clean room. Showers were down the hall. I think there are 4 showers in total which doesn't seem like much but I never had trouble taking... More
