Situated conveniently in the centre of Adelaide, Base Camp Hostel offers air-conditioned rooms, a garden, free WiFi and a shared lounge. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a terrace. The property is non-smoking and is set 1 km from Victoria Square. There was so much to love. The room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and felt really welcoming. The bed was super comfortable, and the linen was fresh and high quality. I especially liked the little touches – like a welcome note, locally made toiletries, and a great selection of teas and coffee in the room. The staff were genuinely warm and helpful, always happy to offer local tips or a friendly chat. The overall vibe of the place was relaxed and inviting – it felt like a home away from home.

The property is close to Beehive Corner Building, Adelaide Convention Centre and Art Gallery of South Australia. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, a tour desk and luggage storage for guests. I found the location to be convenient and only a short distance from the things i wanted to see and do.The room was clean with crisp clean sheets and only a short distance to toilets and showers.The bed was comfortable and there was a quite remarkable quietness during the nights after going to bed.As a traveller over many years i enjoyed conversations with the young people i met in Shingos.Jo, the manager, made me feel most welcome on checkin and assisted with a winery trip i had organised during my stay.She offered to help further if needed.
