Adelaide Hostel

The door of rooms are noisy when people open and close. Toilet always occupied

LAID OFF FROM HUMAN SERVICES BUT ADELAIDE WAS A GOOD EMERGENCY STAY TO PLAN THE NEXT MONTH OF JOB HUNTING. GOOD LUCK & WISH YOU WELL W/ OFFICE POLITICS

Hidden gem where you enter through a small alley. Don't worry, it's very safe. Couple 24 hr parking structures around it. Expect to pay 40-50 for a night at those lots. But if you want to save money by parking on the streets... That can be a huge gamble. I digress.. the entire building, rooms, and common area are very charming. The vibe is cool. Jazz music was playing when I came in. The space is not as big or wide open as say the one on 312 mason , but this place definitely has a more homey feel. Staff is first rate. Nice and helpful. Nice kitchen with plenty of spaces to sit and eat and cook even. They have a kitchen, cookware, plate ware, appliances , refrigerators. It's a fun time. This is the kind of place you wouldn't mind living in long-term as if it were an apartment complex. It's cozy and comfortable. Has full kitchen and washer and dryers.

Was very clean and everyone was friendly. Beds were really cozy, could barely hear street noises, and roomies were quiet during sleep hours.

other than a clean set of linen, and wiped off sanitaries once a day, I found the place dirty and dusty. I have had a horrible experience with some of the people I was sharing the room with; extremely loud, stinky, without manners, and someone stole my shoes. Even with surveillance cameras and obvious loud noises, the staff didn't do anything about it until I made a complaint, and had to insist on relocating me. After relocating, I have had people who weren't supposed to be in that room coming in and out, and someone even slept in the room for two nights in a row; still, the staff had no control or clue about anything that was going on. In fact, it was very hard to even understand who worked there or not. Lots of people loitering in front of the hostel, being very loud at every hour, and I have never seen the staff asking them to keep it quiet. Probably my worst experience in 30 years of traveling.

Room was okay, kinda smelled a little funny, but at the price rate that’s fairly normal

Uneven and unsafe steep stairs to go anywhere in this place. For some reason, women are housed up on the 2nd floor (2 long flights up). Kitchen was not in operation during my stay which turned out to be OK as it'd be ANOTHER steep flt. of stairs to get there (3 flts. total). Staff was generally decent & helpful with the exception of one female (swing shift) who was rude, argumentative and unhelpful.

I needed a quick place to stay after making a mistake with my flight. The price for the 4 bed to a room was very good. The hostel is clean and the staff was very helpful. You can't expect "quiet" when you're in the Union Square area, but I was happy with my stay.

Friendly staff. Great location.
