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. The hostel is quiet but pretty social. It's well equipped (curtains on the bed for privacy, kitchen is well equipped and was okay to cook as it was not too busy, have netflix and a room to work or socialise, AC in the room) and clean. The all included breakfast was nice as well to start the day. And the owner David is a nice and flexible person.
