Tatts Backpackers Adelaide City Reviews

Only stayed for one night, bathrooms and kitchen were fine. Free wifi can be a killer for atmosphere because people tend to just sit on their laptops and not socialise.

Very good hostel, the staff is really really nice and helpful. perfect location. refreshment of paintings etc was needed but on gong when we were there.

Bit run down, but nice rooms, enough space. Good beds, free internet. Unfortunately, there's no common-area apart from the kitchen.

hmm.. well, the hostel is on top of a bar & Casino - which isnt so bad - but the facilies are up there ! The rooms are big, there is a kitchen - but even though it isnt a huge hostel - shower & Toiletts are way to less!!!!!

The staff were great upon arrival I was offered a cheaper room and I saved heaps

Too hot in summer. You can hardly sleep. Bathrooms are not nice. Need renovation!

I regularly stay in hostels and don't have unreasonable expectations - a bed & toiletry facilities that are clean and functional are all I expect for the cheap rates of a dorm stay. This place was very crowded (potentially overbooked?), had only one dedicated toilet for the entire hostel, No A/C in a large dorm room with no functioning window (temp on the day I stayed was above 40deg C), & showers were fairly "prison issue". No secure lockup for belongings in dorm room either. Won't stay again.

the air-con sucks

Friendly and helpful staff . Location was excellent. But NO AIR CON in the rooms and it was 41 degrees celsius in adelaide AT NIGHT!-we ended up checking in to another hostel because the room was over 50 degrees and there was an air conditioning unit outside our window blowing WARM AIR into the room. No one got any sleep, UNBEARABLE! Stay here, just not in summer.

I really liked this hostel! It was really cheap, and I must admit that my bed was HORIBLE! But beside that, there was free breakfast, free wifi, free laundry, free copy/printing, cheap deals in the bar below, nice clean kitchen, and the location was great! I felt I got a lot more than I had paid for. The only thing I really think they should look to change was the bathrooms. There\'s one toilet/bath, and the rest are shared. But I would stay there again!

I did not enjoy my stay at this hostel. It was very noisy, dirty and small. We could not sleep properly due to the music played in the bar in the level below the hostel. The showers did not really work: it was always too hot or too cold, there where no places to hang stuff on and I could not close the door of the shower! I had to do this with a rock.... There was no place to hang or chill, only the kitchen.

I did not quite expect this hostel to be so old and un-renovated (especially the restrooms)! It was fantastic that there was free breakfast but instead a new shower curtain, new (unbroken) chairs or more than the three toilets would be nice... Usually nice staff can help (and two are very nice) but everything took ages: receipts, refilling the drinking water supply, the breakfast cereal/milk/coffee...

Excellent little hostel above a bar and gaming lounge, nice rooms, plenty of security including own lockers which was good! Nicely situated in the middle of the city, takes about 2 minutes walk to the main shopping street complex. Overall would recommend to anyone, very good well run hostel! Thanks for the stay :)

It's a good location, even though the city is not really active. The good sides : Free milk all day, late free breakfast (12pm), free laundry (and dryer), free wifi, balconey The bad sides : staff not really friendly, hostel really old would need renovations, not enough bathrooms, absolutely no activities in the hostel, no common room where people can meet

This was a good hostel, close to everything and with a cheap price. They should have lockers for everybody not just the first few who get one.

It\'s a good hostel but needs to be more clean specially in the bathrooms.

I absolutly loved Tatts! All the people from the staff are so friendly and willing to help you with everything! and it\'s a great location!
