Welcome to Shingo’s Backpackers

Your friendly, clean and homely place to stay in the heart of Adelaide.

Welcome to Shingo’s Backpackers, a small, friendly and comfortable hostel located in the city centre of Adelaide.

Adelaide is a unique starting point for exploring Australia. It is the departure point for two of Australia’s iconic long-distance train journeys — the Indian Pacific, connecting the east and west coasts, and The Ghan, travelling from south to north through the heart of the Australian continent.

Shingo’s Backpackers is conveniently located in Adelaide city centre, making it easy to enjoy everything Adelaide has to offer.

Our central location is ideal for travellers who want to explore the city, find work, or simply enjoy a relaxed stay without needing a car.
