Very clean and comfortable. Except the outdoor stairs but they are renovating it so it doesn't bother me, just looks not that good. I loved the cold water, need it soooo much

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Great location in Darwin Cbd. . One of the best hostels I've stayed in. Made lots of good friends unlike other hostels where nobody will talk to you . It's also quiet enough to sleep if you are working.The owner has speedy response if any problems occur and great tips for things to do in the local area.
