Basically if you can cope with bedbugs, a very basic level of cleanliness and manage to stay on the right side of the lady who runs the establishment, you'll have an experience that is on a level with the incredibly cheap price. Its not all bad, the pancakes are nice, the location is good, and Denise is keen to give... More

Sunny’s is an interesting place! It has an excellent location right near the centre of town and the main bus station for transfer to/from the airport. It is also pretty cheap, think we paid $50 for 2 nights stay in a shared room. The people we also very friendly, especially the affable Denise who made a point of greeting you... More

Never again. I would not recommend to anyone. It is dirty, showers are horrible. The only good thing is that is very close to CBD if there is any. I want to say that is close to centrum of Adelaide. Thats all. More

I have travelled around the world and stayed in hundreds of hostels. I can honestly say this has to be the worst. It was dirty and uncomfortable. The inside of the building looked like it was falling apart. The rooms were damp and the smell disgusting. The shower room was disgusting and did not have a cubicle to change in.... More

I booked for a week but left after one night of trying to sleep next to the endlessly banging door leading outside. My tiny room absolutely stank of damp, sweat and dirty feet and socks. The carpet was damp and dirty. The thin foam mattresses were ancient, with horribly stained and ripped cotton covers, and the pillows so dirty and... More

I really did not like this place. It was really dirty and uncomfortable, there was only one shower working in the girls bathroom and it was filthy. The rooms were dirty and all the furniture is old and uncomfortable....the whole place was drab and either moldy, unfinished or falling apart. The kitchen was tiny and dirty. On the up side... More

Actually, I am staying in this hostel right now. 2 of my room-mates are suffering from "suspected" bed bugs' bites. We have to put all our stuffs under the sun and move to another room. Well, maybe many hostels have this problem. Staffs are nice, pancakes every morning, very close to Free bus stop, Central bus station and Chinatown. However,... More

John who runs this hostel is a nice chap, he replied my email quickly to say they had space. I turned up after 9pm and although Reception is shut by this time, because they knew Id be coming late, John made sure a member of staff was on hand to check me in. Nice people staying here who dont make... More
