Loved this hostel, certainly one of the best I've stayed at! Close to the city center, quiet, clean rooms/bathrooms/kitchen, friendly staff, free internet is great! Nothing to complain about :) Would highly recommend!

Very friendly and welcoming, helpful staff. Our room (quite close to kitchen) was a bit noisy one night, but we were so tired we hardly noticed!

Nice location nearby the heart of Adelaide, with easy access to the bus or tram systems. The place was secure and very clean. The staff were very friendly upon arrival and departure. The kitchen is well suited for backpackers on a budget and coffee/tea were free for the course of my stay. Not really a complaint, as there weren't many folks staying there at the time, the two bathrooms (2 for males and 2 for females) could get cramped if the place got busy with guests.

Comfortable beds, friendly and helpful staff, close enough to walk to all the shops and restaurants but far enough out to get some peace and quiet, and the free wi-fi is excellent!

Ideal location and ideal size. Private single room perhaps a little smaller than anticipated but was adequate for my needs. Thankfully staff were helpful when I locked myself out of my room. Not a massive common area by any means, but on the whole a nice experience.

The best hostel I've stayed in so far in Australia :) Very clean and nice rooms. Could do with some more toilets but other than that it is a great hostel.

Hostel 109 is THE address in Adelaide for travelers who are looking for best value for money . It feels like staying with friends and the place is sparkly clean. The hostel is within walking distance of most of the sights and I hope to stay there again. The fact that the rooms don't have outside windows has a couple of advantages: it is quiet and cool.
