I didn't stay here as a backpacker, I lived there as a child in the late 60s to the early 70s. We lived in the second one from the right at the bottom for a while, then moved to the upper floor for a year. It was an awesome place back then, the whole of Glenelg was, that is until the developers came in and spoilt the place.. I always loved these Terrace houses though, i'm glad they are still standing!!

Place seemed clean - facilities ok - kitchen with plenty of crockery, payg washing machines, washing line, 2 showers on my floor (3) - i didnt use them but they looked ok. My bed was comfy- linen (but not towel) supplied. No handtowel or dryer in the toilet though. The girl who checked me in couldnt be bothered to show me anything i.e. the back stairs we access at night to get to our rooms, nor kitchen or other facilities. I felt she needed a slight attitude adjustment. Lounge room could of done with a couple more sofas - they only had 2 plus a vinyl bench. Good location. Free parking you can get at the right time of day around the surrounding streets. If you're from adelaide or SA and you live here, you cant stay because, as i was told "we're an international hostel only and locals cant stay - but for this one time i'll let you because you dont live in Adelaide itself" (i live 70 mins away). Glenelg has great cheap food and plenty of beach. Different girl who checked me out seemed nicer.
