Good location in City close to shopping & transport (Train), shared bathroom needed cleaning twice a day with over 40 using them. Shower water pressure different from one shower to next, no soap holder so everything stored on floor gets wet.

A great hostel!

This is the type of place that reminds me of why staying in a hostel can be a delight. The people working there are incredibly friendly and helpful, Dan and Augustine in particular. Tequila Sunrise is a place where people meet new people, hang out, and just in general be a nice kind of small community. There are repairs going on and other things in the works to make it an even better place. The location is great as it is close to shopping, restaurants, bars, and the tram without being so close to get the noise of any of them. If you are looking for a hostel, I recommend this one!

A good and economic hostel

The location of the hotel is excellent, as it is close to the Glenelg tram station of Pirie St and the Adelaide Firefly express bus station. It was also only 10 mins walk from the hostel to the Adelaide train station. I stayed at the male dorm with 8 beds. The bathroom and the kitchen was generally clean, and there was not much noise at night. The bedroom I stayed in was comfortable as there were two huge fans reducing the heat in summer nights. Every day there was a free pancake breakfast at 8 - 9am, which was quite nice as there were not many good breakfast options in the Adelaide CBD. The wifi was great as it did not have any MB limits (as I remembered YHA imposes a limit of 250MB for free wifi).

Fuyez

Le personnel était vraiment mal honnête, il m'a carrément dit qu'il ne fallait plus que je réserve sur Expedia car il prenait 25% et il voulait que j'annule avec expédia pour ensuite réserver avec l'hôtel directement. Fuyez c'est très sale et les lits ne sont vraiment pas confortables.

Great hostel let down by WiFi

Kitchen excellent. Lounge OK mainly used by regulars to play their music. Showers run hot and cold, and the hot water is scalding which is a safety concern. WiFi requires frequent login, and is unacceptably slow throughout ground floor. Staff friendly and helpful. Overall a great hostel let down by poor WiFi.
