I asked to move it and didnt get a warm reception - id paid for that bed so ignored it. i... More

We had been travelling around Australia for a month with our 2 little boys when we stopped here. We didn't realise Darwin was so expensive (this hostel is the same price as a large 2-bedroomed apartment in the country towns of Victoria and NSW) but it just is. We have travelled extensively for many years and are used to backpackers.... More

Appart from the fact that it took me very long to find out how to pronounce the name of the hostel properly it is a pain in the ..... I stayed one night at Melaleuca's and it was my worst night during the two months I've been travelling. The matress ist covered with sort of a plastic and that's just... More

As someone who has travelled extensively for over 6 years this has got to have been the most disappointing place ive ever stayed in. Dont be fooled by the reception area / exterior of the building as it does not reflect the quality of the rooms. The first warning sign should have been the hospital like smell of disinfectant which... More

This is a great place to stay if you want to be close to all the action of the city. I've stayed here a few times and I don't have any complaints. There is a great roof top pool and bar. If you walk out the front doors of the hostel and turn left, there is a great little Thai... More

I've been there for a couple of nights in february, in the middle of the raining season (so low season in Darwin). The hostel is huge, brand new, colorfoul and with nice and clean facilities. Air conditioning in every room, kind staff, a fast elevator. So far one of the best hostels I've been in Australia. More

I booked about 5 rooms for a buck party trip. I have to say the rooms were great, each room had a ensuite and because there were an odd number of guys they kindly put a extra matress on the floor. I would like to extend my warmest thanks to Kara for making our trip possible. All i can say... More

This place is amazing. On check in I was greeted by friendly and amazing staff. I accidentally chose the wrong month on my booking so staff were shocked to see me arriving so early, they understood my mistake and fix it for me and checked me in. I booked a 6 shared dorm room and was amazed by the space... More
