Tequila Sunrise Hostel Adelaide Australia

The environment here is beautiful, it's very easy to make friends because the common area is quite small but comfortable at the same time so it's literally impossible not to have nice interaction with other people. I read some reviews about the management not been good enough but that's bullshit, they do their best but the reality is the some people are just disrespectful and they don't clean their dishes, and they complain because they get fined... Also they just renewed the entire hostel and it's brand new, so good stuff!

I had an absolutely amazing time at Tequila Sunrise Hostel! This was my very first hostel experience, as I usually book through Airbnb, and I can honestly say it exceeded all my expectations. I stayed for 10 nights and it was such a great choice. One of the best things is how much money you can save here — both breakfast and dinner are included for free, which is such a huge bonus. The meals were always fresh and really convenient, especially for a longer stay. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. Their accommodating nature really made me feel at home. The atmosphere of the hostel itself was warm and social, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I would definitely go back again without hesitation. Tequila Sunrise Hostel made my first hostel stay a truly memorable one, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

You can find the best vibes and people here. It's the cheapest hostel you can find and they even include dinner and breakfast in the price. Beds are really private with light, plug in and fan inside the box. The staff here is just amazing, alexia is multi-task and always smiling. Love her energy, love them! I'll come back for sure

Was a nice hostel (on the pricier side for a hostel but not too expensive). Free breakfast and dinner is included (I utilised the breakfast but not the dinner). The rooms are mixed but because of the 'pod' style, it was very private. The only issue with the beds was that if the opening is at the end, it can be inconvenient getting stuff from the shelves as you have to get to the other side. Was provided a blanket which meant I was chilly in the morning (but I didn't ask reception for any more layers so not blaming them here)

I’ve stayed at Tequila Sunrise Hostel a few times, but unfortunately the quality has gone down with every visit. • It’s very noisy at night: people talk and make noise in the corridors until very late, and some guests wake up extremely early without considering others. • Bathrooms are often not clean, and showers are sometimes broken or in poor condition. • The kitchen is inconvenient: it closes early in the evening, and when it’s open it’s so small you can’t really use it properly. I’ve also noticed food sometimes goes missing from the lockers. • Meals provided are very basic, usually the same thing every day. • The overall atmosphere is not very safe or comfortable compared to other hostels. • Prices can also be very inconsistent. For example, I once paid $350 for a week in a room with over 20 beds, which feels unreasonable for the conditions offered. If you’re looking for a better option in Adelaide, I’d recommend other hostels like Base Camp or YHA. For example, Base Camp offers cleaner facilities and more peace of mind, and through Google (redirecting to Agoda) you can often find deals around $180 per week.

I stayed at the Tequila Sunrise Hostel and overall, it was a positive experience. The location is excellent, right in the heart of Adelaide CBD, just a short walk from the Central Market and Hindley Street, making it very convenient for exploring the city. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, perfect for socializing with other travelers. The facilities are clean and functional: the rooms are secure and comfortable, the shared kitchen is well-equipped, and the free Wi-Fi works well. The complimentary breakfast with pancakes, fruit, and hot drinks is a nice bonus. One aspect I especially want to highlight is the staff: the people working here do a really great job. They are helpful, friendly, and always ready to assist with anything, from city tips to helping with parcels or other small requests. Managing a busy hostel is not always easy, but it’s clear they put in effort and dedication

Unfortunately, this hostel keeps getting worse and worse. In the morning it’s common to find dirty dishes left everywhere by some of the French guests, and the staff never says anything. Cleanliness in general is very poor: the kitchen is usually messy and dirty, and if you want to cook you’ll have to wait until at least ten other people finish before you can even start. The new manager has only made things worse. Once she even threw away some guests’ alcohol without asking for permission absolutely shameful The atmosphere is unbearable. At dinner time there are not enough seats, so sometimes you can’t even sit down. If you arrive a bit later, you risk not finding any food left. Breakfast is only served for one hour, and exactly at 8:30 they remove everything, without caring at all if you came just a few minutes late. The rooms are also poorly organized: in some of them there are drawers that you can’t even open. On top of that, the prices are completely inconsistent and change whenever they want. Sometimes a double bed ends up being cheaper than a single one which makes no sense and feels like a scam. In short: dirty, badly managed, inconsistent prices, and ridiculous rules. My experience here was extremely disappointing, and I would strongly recommend choosing another hostel for example, YHA, which is way better managed and offers a much cleaner and more comfortable environment. And I’ll share a tip: at YHA, if you ask at reception for a 3-bed room, the price can be as low as around $160 per week per person much better value for money compared to this place.
