“Always a consistent positive experience staying with YHA Adelaide.”
Staff are friendly, professional, warm and efficient. The rooms are always clean and fresh, beds made with care with crispy clean sheets. The bathroom is cleaned with attention to detail and well stocked. Better than the rooms at work 🫣

“Best Hostel Experience”
Will. Genuinely the best manager of any hotel / hostel accommodation, either in Australia or overseas, that I have had the pleasure of interacting with. Professional, personable, kind, accommodating and just a genuinely great guy. Makes any stay at YHA Adelaide Central a fantastic experience. Along with his team of staff, who do a first class job also, and the clean / spacious amenities, this YHA sets the standard. No better place to stay if you're looking for quality service, great location and a fantastic price.
