Glenelg Beach Hostel, Glenelg (AU) - Deals & Reviews

Amazing Location with Beautiful Building

We had the most amazing stay at a hostel near the beach. The classic old building was absolutely beautiful and added to the charm of our experience. The convenient location near the beach, shops, and train station made it the perfect choice for us. The staff were friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. The only downside was the limited number of toilets and showers on each floor, but it didn't significantly impact our overall enjoyment. I highly recommend this hostel for anyone looking for a cheap and memorable stay near the beach.

Position good

room tiny, with no where to hang clothes. One power socket hiding under bed which we had to move to use power. Very little cutlery, plates or mugs.

We recommend the hotel and staff. A wide array of different restaurants and bars to eat outside the venue:)))

Everything was spot on.

Great location near beach and tram. Victorian houses and historical building. Friendly and helpful staff. Comfy beds and quiet rooms. No bunk beds. Good value for money.

Can honestly say there wasn't anything not to like.

So clean! The kitchen facilities are EXCELLENT totally clean unlike some other hostels in Adeliade. The girls dormitory is bunk bed free and in a lovely period room. Shared bathrooms are clean. Nice free breakfast and good bar. On the tram line, close to the beach & the cafes.

Sometimes a little loud at night because it is near some bars. But this didn't bother me so much. It's quieter than most youth hostels. May have also been because the window was open and my room fronted onto the street.

There's a great night bar here and it's a fantastic place for a weekend getaway in Adelaide.

Cheap and good location - all we needed for footy trip!

The stairs

It was cheap and good location.

The room was quite warm as there was no air-conditioning (but I understand that as the price was cheap according to the location).

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel for my bayside vacation. The old building is beautiful and full of character. The room I stayed in had a spacious shared balcony, perfect for enjoying the view. The high ceilings gave the room a sense of grandeur. The location is amazing, just a short distance from the nice sandy beach and centrally located to the shopping strip. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was included, which was a nice bonus.

There was a slight issue with noise in the morning, but it didn't disrupt my overall experience.

The bed was clean and comfortable.

To get to any reception on arrival we had to pass dozens of drunk people partying which carried on till all hours of the morning spilling out the street, Bathroom facilities outside and not up to scratch. Advertising continental breakfast, which consists of bread, margarine and squeezie bottles of marmalade and jam, tea and coffee and no milk. Self service. This is not a continental breakfast as we know it. Price was exorbitant for that accomodation offered.

The location, ten km from downtown Adelaide, and four kilometres from the airport, made it convenient when we arrived late at night after a long flight. It is also a two minute walk to a beautiful white sand beach. The building is attractive from the exterior, being sandstone, and dating back to the nineteenth century. There are shops and cafes right outside the hostel. Buses and trams to downtown Adelaide are within a minute's walk. The person on night duty kindly stayed open for us after we had advised them we would be arriving late.

The common areas were very unappealing, with old furniture that was worn, dirty and stained. The areas were generally unclean, although the rooms, toilets and showers were clean and adequate. The light 'breakfast' that was included consisted of tea bags, instant coffee, powdered coffee creamer, three loaves of white bread left out for guests, and large jars of jams, all left in a kitchen area that was uninviting, at best.

the location was amazing; it was right by the beach and close to all the restaurants and attractions in the area. the rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the free breakfast was a great touch.

There were a few noisy guests who didn't get told to keep it down by the staff.

Bathroom on my floor out of order. Inconvenient for toilet use particularly in the night. The keyboards on the computers were filthy. They need to be kept clean. Unhygenic. Otherwise I liked it there.

Wi-fi service in the rooms was unreliable

I recently stayed at a hotel near Adelaide, and I must say, I had a great experience. the location was superb. It was centrally situated near the shopping strip, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the area. What I loved the most was its proximity to the nice sandy beach. The hotel was just a short walk away from the ocean, allowing me to easily enjoy the beautiful views and take relaxing strolls along the shore.

All in all, everything was fine during my stay.
