We were in Darwin for a week but only booked 2 nights here, thankfully this was the right decision to make. It was awful! We had spent 24hours on the Ghan and was looking forward to getting to the hostel. Check in took 45mins. Unorganised staff flicking between guests instead of just dealing with one at a time. Finally got... More

Stayed 2 nights as they offer a reimbursement on your airport shuttle ticket for 2 nights or more. Our room wasn't cleaned once and the floor was filthy, a guy staying in for 3 nights before us said he hadn't seen a cleaner once. The showers and toilets were clean though and the jacuzzi/sundeck are nice. No alcohol is allowed... More

I feel like this hostels have quite a lot of long term male residents which makes the room more messy, small room played a part as well. However, the rooms have air- con & it is free which it pretty good. The hostel is centrally located & the staffs are generally helpful. The shower & toilet are for both sex... More

I am a solo traveller and have stayed in a lot of hostels, I must say that this particular hostel has got everything you need. The rooms are basic, but very clean and there is a nice spa deck with two tubs to chillout in. Free breakfast + coffee, fast internet service and an open area kitchen area. Chilli's Backpackers...

Before I moved to Chilis I had stayed in the YHA, and after that experience I really liked the Chilli's Backpackers. I stayed for 2 weeks and would have stayed longer, but luckily I found a (cheaper) flatshare. I think which experience you make there mainly depends on luck. Some of the staff were very nice, welcoming and helpful, others... More

This place has a lot of rules but they make up for it in cleanliness and a new age look. The other hostels on the strip of Mitchell St are loud and obnoxious and that is where Chili's separates itself. There is a Global Connect internet care downstairs and the staff is pretty friendly. They have a free breakfast but... More

We rented a double private without bathroom. Were happily surprised to see a sink in the room; i guess it kinda made us feel like we had a 'half bath!' Easy check in and the room was surprisingly clean and comfy. The mini-fridge was also a bonus. But the best part was the comfy bed- especially after our experience on... More
