We stayed here for 3 nights in a motel style double room. The room had AC, TV and coffee/tea making facilities. No fancy luxury, but just what we needed. The room was clean and we got fresh towels every day. There's no party vibe and it was very quiet during the night. Breakfast was free (two pieces of bread, spreads... More

This place is an alright place to stay, mainly because the hosts and staff are so friendly. Everyday was good morning my man or good morning John which made me smile, nice that they have the decency of remembering my name. The facilities are ok too. The kitchen is basic but serves its purpose. There's a small pool to cool... More

Two thumps up to Kayla ( I think that's her name)!!! I was at Toddy's for one night only in Febuary. When I got to my room, I wasn't very impressed, very clean but not very big. So I went back to the reception to ask if I could have an upgrade. Well the girl at the reception offered me... More

I stayed at Toddy's for two nights before my Uluru package trip, and one night after. I'm a 56 year old woman, traveling alone, and was in Alice Springs during the late summer/early fall. It was still low season, when there are not too many travelers around, so the common areas were pretty quiet. I stayed in the extremely budget-minded... More

To be honest this hostel was just a stop over for Uluru and other red centre attractions! I think the best way to describe it is 'in need of some TLC' the staff where very friendly and enthusiastic! The major problem for me was the bar, having been warned that some locals went to fond of tourist and told that... More
