Overall Ratings & Reviews The Guesthouse - Hostel

i called the property to confirm my booking and the voice message stated that they where closed dur to Covid and i lost my money.. No one bothered to confirm anything and i am very annoyed

I liked the offer to stay in the common room and kitchen after I had checked out. There was a severe heatwave at the time. I was grateful for this. Also, I found the accommodation clean although basic with aircon and TV, free WiFi and the bed was comfortable. New pillows would be good.

Guesthouse Hostel is remarkably a very good hostel and commendable to all travelers who are need a low cost accommodation but will meet their needs. All the staff are very accommodating, helpful and efficient. the site is within walking distance to points of interest. The hostel creates an atmosphere of family and community. There is a free dinners, Chile con carne Monday night and Pizza Weds. What a place. Highly recommended

Good value for money. Clean rooms and friendly staff.

THE LOCATION AND THE KITCHEN AND THE MEALS BEANS AND RICE CHILI AND THE ICE CREAM

Having just travelled through South America I was looking forward to an Australian quality hostel. I booked a private room which is separate to the main building. It was so bad that I cancelled my remaining two nights stay. Firstly there was no towel in the room & the bed wasn’t made. Apparently towels are ‘for hire’ so I had to cross the four lane busy road back to the main hostel to get one. Secondly, the electronic security key would not work when I got back late at night (11pm). Again, I had to walk across the four lane busy road, in the rain, and phone the after hours emergency numbers to get a new room key programmed. This ordeal took about an hour. Thirdly, there was no hot water the next morning in any of the showers. Again, I was asked to cross the busy four lane road and use the showers in the backpackers. I could see that the hot water service may not be repaired quickly and if had enough of these third world standards so I asked for my money back and checked out. The angry British girl in the front desk tried to refuse a full refund saying it was ‘against policy’. I told her it wasn’t a cancelation due to change of mind, it was due to dissatisfaction. She was unbelievably rude and hostile and reluctantly refunded some (not all) of my subsequent prepaid nights. I’ve travelled to all corners of the globe - from Kampala in Uganda to San Pedro Chile In the Atacama Desert. This is the worst hostel I’ve stayed in.

If you don't mind feeling like sleeping in a prison cell, this place is for you. Run down rooms, bad stench throughout Guesthouse and room, uncomfortable bed and pillows with stains, jail cell bars on the windows and stuck window shutter. Windows stuck open so we were stuck hearing the traffic of a Saturday night. No peaceful sleep eventhough The Guesthouse is supposed to be the peaceful accommodation. Complaied at front desk after we checked in and was promised a call and that something would be done about the stuck window, but it was ignored. Not a good stay at all. Bad stench, sleep and the discomfort from beds and pillows didnt make this a good overnight experience in Adelaide. Thank goodness hadnt booked more than one night. Wont be staying here again.

Check in was friendly and efficient. Good location. Spacious room

Very basic rooms, you get what you pay for I guess - however, tidy and clean. Struggled to sleep as it was quite loud - the hotel is right next to a busy street with trucks and ambulances, and my room was unlucky being next to the entrance to the hostel with some loud heavy door, and behind the kitchen. Breakfast is very basic toast and cereal (not even milk...)

Very hard to locate reception & check - very confusing

This is my second time staying at the Guest House. It's simply, centrally located hospitality with incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Both times I've arrived from Melbourne slightly after the 10 p.m. office curfew and both times someone has stuck around to help me out. The free bikes out front are a huge bonus!

A great place close to the city and the Central Market. Quiet well maintained with pleasant staff

Good wifi, big kitchen, comfy pillows though the bed is a bit noisy. Would stay again

Basic but had everything we needed. Use of full kitchen was great and saved money to be able to prepare some of our own meals. Having to share the bathroom was not a problem as it was cleaned thoroughly daily. Excellent location - walking distance to everything we wanted

Well, it's a good place. However, my room is close to the street, kitchen and bathroom, not easy for me to sleep. Check-in begins after 2pm, so if arriving early, please arrange your day trip.

ok place if out are on a tight budget and don't mind sharing bathroom and kitchen facilities with complete strangers. Overall though, it wasn't too bad and did save on costs, so it's nice knowing there are other options like this out there, when the price of standard hotel /motel rooms can add up so quickly over time.

Spacious room in (reasonably) quiet part of town. Short walk to the city centre. Only complaint is the squeaky door on every room!

Super close and convenient to the city, clean, quiet and pleasant place to stay!

Staff fantastic. Very happy budget minded traveller very little parking would recommend long term parking elsewhere

Friendly staff, clean bedroom and shared bathroom in a very convenient central location.
