The lack of Power points and the cramped uncomfortable conditions of the beds made this place a very disappointing experience. I wouldn't recommend for a long term stay.

This was a well located hostel with lots if food and shopping available close. Some staff were very friendly and helpful while others were not. Single rooms were spacious. Property could use a bit of TLC and it would be really good place.

Typical backpacker hostel

It's a decent hostel on the main street. Have a no alcohol policy which is a bit strange. Rooms and bathrooms are kept pretty clean considering the amount of people. A cheaper option than others, very good if you don't plan to spend much time in the hostel. Staff are helpful, can organize tours or give job leads.

Great and Amazing People Stay There

Nice stay overall. Pillow too soft and water shower head missing at some cubicle. No issue as move to another one. Opposite Coles Supermarket, bars and attractions. Easy to travel around.

ダーウィンの繁華街にあり便利です。海外のバックパッカーに宿泊者経験者にお勧めのホテルです。若い子が大いので煩いです。隣りにスーパーがあるので自分で調理が出来ます。 駐車場は無いので注意。

Worst hostel I have stayed in

Worst hostel I have slept in in the 8 months I have been in Australia... Where to start... Maybe with the cockroaches and bugs that crawl over you during the night. Maybe with the ceiling fan that was covered in dust. Maybe with the showers that are dirty at night and have no hot water in the morning. Maybe with the fact that if you are on the ground floor you are literally next to an alley where car parks and therefore accelerate right next to you. Maybe with the fact that backpackers here run wild and can play music very loud until veeeery late without being told to keep quiet. Yes it is very well located but it's not worth it. We had a reservation for another night in a few days but we cancelled it and hopefully we'll find something better that this
