Avoid if you can! Try Not to stay here if possible! The accommodation is not safe at all, the doors are always open and anyone can come in or get out, i saw a few people sleeping on the couch, and I’m sure they didn’t have a room, so was a bit scary, everyone can stay here as there is Not a receptionist in this accommodation, they work from home so when u check in you have to press the button and you’ll be talking to someone who is working from home. There are Not tourists here either, most people staying here are residents. The place is not very clean either. ##### Verified traveler Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Marvin May 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service I don't like the toilet s ##### Marvin Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Stephanie Nov 18, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Don't stay here! I am actually from Adelaide and needed a spot close to port Adelaide for the weekend. I have stayed at plenty backpackers in my time and let me tell you, this is not a backpackers. No staff on premises, obviously It was more than likely too dangerous to have someone at the check-in desk, so check-in in is via web call. No travellers to be seen anywhere. this place is for those who unfortunately have nowhere to go or are struggling with a drug addiction of some kind. My door didn't lock properly. I walked in, took a look at the room and basically walked out immediately. no gendered toilet/ shower blocks. terrifying if you are concerned for your safety as a woman and even as a man. Don't waste your money. It's a halfway house not a backpacker's hostel. Port Adelaide is a great place, it's unfortunate that hostel lies about their premises. ##### Stephanie Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Natasha Jul 13, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Unsafe, dirty and only one remote (overseas) staff member. We were checked in by a remote staff member working from overseas. There was no staff at the location and no one to contact after 9:30pm. On check-in, a non staff member assisted myself and one other person checking in, which was helpful, but could have been an issue if there was any ulterior motives to helping, particularly because we had a printer give us our code to the door. Their signage says that there is no right to a refund, which is against consumer law in Australia. They say it’s about change of mind, but the service provided here is well below what I would expect of even the cheapest hostels I’ve stayed at. We were unable to use the kitchen due to other people being passive aggressive and who proceeded to speak violently about us outside our door and window. They threatened to harm us. By this time, there was no where else we could stay and no one at the hotel to contact. There was a child unsupervised in the hallways who was crying at times. The child stayed in that hallway for up to an hour before the parents came back and this happened multiple times that night. There was a moderate level of cleanliness, but that was overshadowed by a toilet that was flooding and not properly sealed to the ground, dirty stained bedding and duct tape that seemed to be holding the beds together. I don’t recommend staying here and I believe this place is not a property fit to be used as accommodation. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6218d592-c55b-4304-a78f-2b68fcb0a0f0-1752367028630.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/60e9999b-88b6-4895-b564-882aaf79b28b-1752367030664.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6db741bf-7055-4cf3-b041-a759da4b0795-1752367030957.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1758937f-59a8-4b09-98c1-d110f4f8fb82-1752367032119.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Natasha Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Megan Sep 23, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities DONT STAY HERE ##### Megan Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Prince Nov 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I love it ##### Prince Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023 ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - [Lodging](?equalTargetTab=tab-0) - [Flights](?equalTargetTab=tab-1) - [Packages](?equalTargetTab=tab-2) - [Cars](?equalTargetTab=tab-3) - [Things to Do](?equalTargetTab=tab-4) - [Boutique apartment in the heart of the Adelaide CBD](https://www.expedia.com/Adelaide-Hotels-Boutique-Apartment-In-The-Heart-Of-Adelaide-CBD.h47016594.Hotel-Information) - [Hilton Adelaide](https://www.expedia.com/Adelaide-Hotels-Hilton-Adelaide.h3363.Hotel-Information) - [Breakfree Adelaide](https://www.expedia.com/Adelaide-Hotels-BreakFree-Adelaide.h12579.Hotel-Information) - [Downtown Guadalajara Hotels](https://www.expedia.com/Downtown-Guadalajara-Guadalajara-Hotels.0-n6051266-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Mayfair Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Adelaide-Hotels-Mayfair-Hotel.h9360673.Hotel-Information) - [Hotels near Vancouver Convention Centre](https://www.expedia.com/Vancouver-Convention-Centre-Hotels.0-l6127461-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Leonardo Hotel Inverness](https://www.expedia.com/Inverness-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Inverness.h20408.Hotel-Information) - [Alexander lake lodge](https://www.expedia.com/Montrose-Hotels-Alexander-Lake-Lodge.h34369257.Hotel-Information) - [Istay Precinct Adelaide](https://www.expedia.com/Adelaide-Hotels-IStay-Precinct-Adelaide.h2863671.Hotel-Information) - [Hotels & Resorts for Couples in Destin](https://www.expedia.com/Destin-Hotels-Couples-Resorts-Hotels.0-0-d6906-tCouplesResortsHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Royal Grove Waikiki](https://www.expedia.com/Honolulu-Hotels-Royal-Grove-Waikiki.h30662987.Hotel-Information) - [Nu Hotel Brooklyn](https://www.expedia.com/New-York-Hotels-NU-Hotel-Brooklyn.h2182105.Hotel-Information) - [Holiday Inn Express Adelaide City Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.com/Adelaide-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Adelaide-City-Centre.h16438119.Hotel-Information) - [Tomah Hotels](https://www.expedia.com/Tomah-Hotels.d7319.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Stonebridge Village Resort](https://www.expedia.com/Branson-Hotels-Stonebridge-Village-COA.h10241367.Hotel-Information) - [Rove City Walk](https://www.expedia.com/Dubai-Hotels-Rove-City-Walk.h68997818.Hotel-Information) - [The Landmark Bangkok](https://www.expedia.com/Bangkok-Hotels-The-Landmark-Bangkok.h20211.Hotel-Information) - [Motels in Meriden](https://www.expedia.com/Meriden-Motels.d8818-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) - [Turkish Airlines New York (JFK) to Istanbul (IST) flights](https://www.expedia.com/lp/flight-routes/turkish-airlines-from-john-f-kennedy-intl-to-istanbul/tk/jfk/ist) - [Flights from Bellingham (BLI) to Sacramento (SMF)](https://www.expedia.com/lp/flights/bli/smf/bellingham-to-sacramento) - [Flights from San Diego (SAN) to Ketchikan (KTN)](https://www.expedia.com/lp/flights/san/ktn/san-diego-to-ketchikan) - [Flights from Charleston (CRW) to Charlotte (CLT)](https://www.expedia.com/lp/flights/crw/clt/charleston-to-charlotte) - [Flights from New York (JFK) to Bishop (BIH)](https://www.expedia.com/lp/flights/jfk/bih/new-york-to-bishop) - [Flights from Los Angeles (LAX) to Sacramento (SMF)](https://www.expedia.com/lp/flights/lax/smf/los-angeles-to-sacramento) - [Flights from Newark Liberty Intl.
