I stayed 3 nights in a 6-share room. Its an old motor-inn building. This is only a level 3 YHA, but I was still surprised it wasn't better kept up. A fresh coat of paint, a little more cleaning, better kitchen stuff. They are almost done improving all the rooms with new bathrooms and carpets which is nice. Pros: -... More

Great rooms great location good price and lovely staff! They need to up their security as anyone can wander in from the street and the attached pub attracts a somewhat colourful clientele who can be noisy most of the night and somewhat intimidating! Didn't feel the kitchen was very safe as people often left the unlit gas on! More

We arrived too early and couldn't check-in, but we get good advices what to do during the waiting-time (inclusive detailed busroutes, etc). We got a room on the 1st floor; it was the last one down the corridor. It was quiet and clean so far with a big window. The kitchen is surprisingly not dirty, although it's really very small... More

I stayed in the YHA Darwin for only one night and was disappointed by the poor YHA standards. My room was on ground level, in a row of rooms with their doors to the car park (similar to a motel). The rooms were small and had a small ensuite bathroom. Neither room nor bathroom were clean - not sure about... More

Stayed here for one night, and one day before flying to Bali. I'm suprised with all the bad reviews, as I found it to be good hostel. It's a converted hotel so each room has its own ensuite bathroom, and the room was clean and safe. the kitchen was small, but there actually is another one upstairs!. There's a nice... More

I mean really, for a hostel, what else can you expect that it's clean, safe and fills your basic needs such as kitchen, shower and comfortable bed. The staff were very helpful at the hostel which is always a bonus too. I stayed here for 4 nights all in all. the first two nights was in a 4share room which... More

poor facilities, very small kitchen with only 4 gas rings. Building looking old and run down. Really not what you expect from a YHA but on the plus side the staff are very friendly and you do get fresh bedding. More

YHA Darwin is a nice place. The rooms were all en-suit, clean and spacious. Staff were good too. The TV room, was a good place to chill out in. The kitchen was a bit small. More
