we can't wait to never go back!

I vehemently agree with the other reviewer's comments about the Adelaide Hostel. I had a dorm reservation booked more than 2 month in advance, but when I arrived to check-in, I was told that they had overbooked and I would be sent to another hostel. When I asked how that could be, since I had made my reservations months in advance, I was given a very curt response and told that it was "peak season" and that I should have arrived earlier. My flight had been delayed for a couple of hours and I couldn't get to a payphone to call them and because of that, my bed was just sold! That is insanely ridiculous and ignorant of them! I went to the hostel they had referred me to and was absolutely disgusted with the look of it. The staff was gloomy and unfriendly. It was more like a crackhouse than a guesthouse!
I went back to the Adelaide the next day to check out the place and found it to be full of mentally unstable people and drunkards!
It was more like the AAdelaide for Alcoholics Adelaide...certainly NOT anonymous! Never again. Please be careful and avoid the Adelaide hostel.
