It looks alike an hostel with shared living room, kitchen(s), bathrooms. I had a bad feeling before to go there. Very clean ... Easy to leave luggage after and before check-in. Outside door with an electronic combination after 10 p.m. No age restriction to be there. Great location but you need to use the train to go away (about 10 minutes on foot). A near shopping center and a grocery very near. A dry food storage for each person.
Sticky varnished tables, Most people are temporary workers/travellers or short visit while I am a traveller. The kitchens are small but o.k. for the few being there in the same time.

Excellent discount available for private room At the time it suited us perfectly We catch the train up to the city, .. get a Metro card, its good Also ---- you can take the train a few stops in the other direction, to the Outer Harbour .... or just walk close by, to the Port Adelaide shops, supermarket & small lighthouse, tourist area Its very nice -- go to the beaches .... out at Outer Harbour by short train trip Very Good showers & bathrooms available at the property (outside of the room) There are two kitchens available for cooking
It was all ok there, don't worry !!! But .... we had a room upstairs, (not a dorm)

Do have cooking facility, great!
So far I stay here twice and twice some one sleep in the community lounge, this should not happen people should sleep in their own room if they booked dormitory style.

great location next to semaphore beach and a short 10-15 min drive from the city. Derrick was VERY helpful on front desk, ensured we kept our double room for as long as we needed it due to car troubles & the hostel seems like it’s been renovated including rooms, kitchen, toilets/showers & security is amazing! never felt unsafe and everyone was very friendly! definitely recommend staying here (also free parking over the road for 24 hours which is great!) will stay again for sure if in Adelaide
nothing, was great!

The business provides good accommodation at a good cost
Not all situations are perfect It would not be fair to criticise the business for things that are not in there control

Fantastic environment with genuinely courteous and efficient staff. The professional yet friendly management of the facility and patrons on a daily basis is to be commended. PABP strikes a great balance between value for money & a comfy 'home away from home' for budget accommodation. Highly recommended to all travellers local and abroad!
I have to admit that some of the mattresses leave a little to be desired in comfort level but nothing unusual for their basic cost & purpose.

We are still here over a week later. This is our second trip because as lovex it so much the first time andthe value for money of a family room, or any room or dorm is exceptional. Cannot recommend highly enough. All facilities are clean and inorder. Enjoy your still Z I'm sure you will.
The fridge in our room didn't work well.

We had a family room and it was clean,tidy and reasonably comfortable and had air-conditioning so really I couldn't complain we would stay again..
The only thing was the location was super noisy, but really, it was what it was.
