Lots of cool people here, bathrooms and kitchen cleaned daily, and good value! I loved having the ACs in the room for the Darwin heat! Good location, nearby many businesses.

I stayed at Darwin Hostel for 5 nights and absolutely loved it! Everything was great — the beds were comfortable, washrooms are cleaned every day and stocked with soap, and the kitchen has everything you need. The pool was a really nice bonus to relax after a day out. The staff and other guests were friendly and welcoming. The location is perfect, right in the center, and it’s only about a 6-minute walk to McDonald’s and nearby supermarkets. Lisa is really kind and friendly, she made my stay even better. I truly enjoyed my stay and will definitely come back!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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.
