Good location close to the inner city entertainment area yet in a quiet position. Clean and comfortable with pool, kitchen, washing and a bar attached at the front. Excellent price with good staff to support.

Location is good being at quieter end of Mitchell Street, check in and out was quick and easy. It's always nice having your own bathroom, and the only problem I had was that the air con was too loud, other... More

I stayed in a number of YHA hostels whilst in Australia and this one didn't have the same friendly feel as the others. The staff were very nice and the bedding clean but there was a large number of longer term residents and I didn't feel very safe. The night I arrived the staff and security guards were discussing an... More

Tried to think of a good title for this review, but all i could come up with was 'not bad' which i suppose is very adequate. This isn't a big flash hostel, or a nice cosy hostel, or a charming atmospheric hostel, it's just an ok run of the mill hostel. Rooms were nice, tidy and clean. Pool area was... More

I arrived in Darwin at around 1AM, I was aware of the late night a/hours check-in - rang the number and someone showed me the room. Nice casual service - didn't check ID's or anything; my brother and I both got the discounted prices on the one card. The rooms had A/C which was essential in the 32-34 temperatures with... More

Hi there, the YHA in Darwin has in each room an own fridge and new renovated bathroom. I couldn't believe it. I am very excited about the fridge.
