Cramped rooms, you couldn't swing a cat in the 6 bed dorm. Thank God we were moved from the 12 bed dorm which was worse! Very noisy 24/7 - our room was right above the bar & pool. Security was a joke, our room mates constantly left the door unlocked & we had no lockers for our belongings & people can just walk in off the street & upstairs to the rooms. The room was a complete mess. The staff were the only thing that we can be positive about this hostel, but they can only make up for so much.

We were only there overnight as we were passing through and stayed in a dorm. But everything was ready with our very late check-in, place was clean, friendly. Good breakfast.

Beds are no good. Can feel the springs poking my back. Kitchen is only average. Also it would be good if there was free wifi. Location is good as it is near the mall.

nice hostel, great pool, right in the city center. The matresses where a bit uncomfortable and the kitchen was not very well equipped. I would stay there again though.

Nice hostel in the center of Darwin. The beds are unfortunately not so good. But the hostel has good 4 bed dorms with ensuite bathroom. It is a bit of a partyhostel, but if you like that, it's ofcourse no problem
