The hostel was very nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It's in a great location to all the nightlife. Showers and kitchen are very clean and spacious. The small outdoor pools are great for relaxing after the sun goes down. The other backpackers were very curtious and friendly. The staff are great for booking tours and giving great... More

This hostel is in desperate need of modernisation - not a problem if it was clean and secure. We stayed in a twin room for four nights and hardly slept because of noise outside the ground floor room (next to the transit centre), including loud dripping from somewhere above. We asked to move rooms but despite much coming and going... More

Stayed here for first 3 nights in darwin, and found it disgusting! The room was a four share with 3 other girls. The bunk beds were ridiculously high and I struggled to climb above into the bed. There was two power points in the room. The air con didn't work so well, but there was a air fan! The kitchen... More

We spent 7 nights here in a double room in late May. I didn't expect much after reading the reviews on here, but the hostel exceeded my expectations. The location is definitely its biggest pro: smack bang in the middle of Mitchell St, next to Coles. No complaints there! The room was cleaned daily, and the air con, fridge and... More

This could potentially be a decent hostel. I guess. Maybe. If it wasn't such a sausage factory and the owners focussed just a little bit about something other than making money. Accommodation is expensive in Darwin and chilli's is no exception to the rule. The policy seems to be pack in as many bodies as possible, get their money and... More

I stayed here last week with one of my friends on our way to Kakadu. Location was really good, right in the centre of town, next to the shops and on the same street as the resteraunts and bars. They didnt have their own bar on premises but that meant that it was quieter than others. However, we could use... More
