Located in Darwin, 1.7 km from Mindil Beach, Darwin Hostel provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. Featuring water sports facilities, the 4-star hostel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a shared bathroom. The accommodation features evening entertainment and a shared kitchen. 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!
