Hostel 109 Flashpackers

Reviewed By Peter M

I stayed here for three nights and a very good hostel and the receptionist very friendly and only four beds to a room. The only problem was that the public telephone was not working and I had to borrow a mobile to ring just to get in as reception not manned after 7-00pm. The next night was no problem as I had a code. My things in the fridge were OK also unlike the Sydney hostel which either someone pinched or the cleaners through out!

To be avoided!

This is by far the most disgusting place I have ever stayed in... Where do I begin? The hostel on first appearance is unkempt, unhygienic and overcrowded. The dorm room had clearly not been cleaned properly, there was toe nail clippings on the window seal, dirty tissues under the bed, dust everywhere and just smelt as if there hadn’t been any fresh air circulating for a while. There was a air conditioning unit in the room that could only be operated by reception which meant by nighttime, the room was just being blasted with freezing cold, regurgitated air. (Not pleasant when sharing with three other people in a confined space).The only saving grace was the fact that there was a window by the bed. As for the rest of the facilities, the bathrooms were ok, however could do with a lick of paint and a bit more cleaning.The ‘tv room’ upstairs is fairly undesirable and to be avoided! The whole area just smelt musty/damp/sweaty. Not forgetting, the dirty boxers that seemed to make a permanent residence on the floor or armrest of the sofa. Niceee! The kitchen/common area was equally as filthy and cramped. Very much a party hostel. Found it very strange that we had no communication with any of the hostel staff members, even when checking in/out; this was all done by text message? It seemed as if anyone and everyone could walk into the hostel which is concerning in terms of security. Please avoid!

Great place to stay

Reviewed By fayem860

The lovely lady at reception was extremely helpful and we are very greatful for the service she gave us. She went out of her way to look up public transport time tables for us and even helped us with trying to cancel tours we were not able to do anymore. Very spacious rooms and fresh clean linen. only problem with the room that could make it a bit more cozy would be a small couch or something comfortable to rest and watch the tv on as you do not always want to be in bed to relax. The outdoor area was a lovely area to eat dinner and mingle with other guests with the kitchen on the small side it really was nice to have somewhere to go eat and get out of the way of those cooking. We stayed here last year also and the improvements that have occurred are great. When we come back next time I am sure it will be even better.

Backpack OZ

Be smart and don't just got for a hostel with the lowest rate - you get what you pay for! Are you looking for a hostel where you feel welcome to relax and just hang out if you want a break? Where there are activities so you can meet people and make new friends? Where you don't feel as though you are putting your hand in your pocket every 5 minutes? Where the staff are happy to give you free advice about what to do in Adelaide (not just sell you an expensive tour)? Backpack Oz is a family owned and operated business that enjoys a great reputation - and not just because of the free Tuesday night BBQ dinner and daily Happy Hour ($3.50 beers)! All rooms and common areas have A/C, and kitchens and bathrooms are cleaned daily (and we mean really clean - check the ratings)! We have a fantastic city location - walk to cafe/pub districts, Central Market and CBD! Our free WiFi is super fast and we have a light & bright dining & common room with big screen TV.

Clean lodgings; great location

Reviewed By NinaAsia

Had a very restful two weeks here. Loved the convenience of the tram, shops and supermarkets. And of course Glenelg beach ! Fortunately the noise level from the road, shops across the street or bar downstairs was tolerable and didn’t go on all night. My main concern was security in the kitchen. Guests not staying at the hostel are able to access the kitchen from the bar downstairs. Some guests also left the backdoor to their accommodation ajar.

There's a reason it is cheap

Reviewed By JustinTesting

Don't bring children here, or sleep in the dorms. It's regular residents are almost all drug addicts, drug dealers, alcoholics and/or former prison inmates. Violence is not uncommon. The kitchen is left as a mess by residents despite being cleaned each day. You'll get sick eating off their utensils. They advertise family rooms, but it's not a family space. They advertise internet, but have none. It's basically a halfway house for former convicts and street people.

The review

Reviewed By Babyg2009

I stayed at the comfy guest house but didn’t stay the full days I was suppose to. If your indigenous (native) your constantly accused of drugs and alcohol throughout the stay. How can reconciliation happen if your falsely accused of things you don’t do. I felt uncomfortable in my stay and left 3 days early. They said no refunds it’s fine we went somewhere where we treated with respect.

Double booked

Reviewed By Ashlee H

Would have liked the opportunity to leave a review, however, we didn’t even get a chance to stay. After booking online I received a call to say the room I had booked was actually NOT available. Unfortunately, no genuine apology or attempts made to try and rectify the issue or reasonable explanation other than, “actually the room you booked is not available”. Would not recommend.
