Reviews of Darwin Hostel 4 stars

Nice staff and peoples around, the spaces are ok, location is good. Really relax dont have much expectations and ull meet cool peoples and have a good time. Projector, game, the park next door and the bottle shop at 30meter.

Be ready for a rainy season the place gets wet like every the wall outside the rooms etc. Also make to keep your stuff safe there is definitely a local issue lets say, NO RECEPTION, important know so do things with zen around here.

Didn't answer calls to get access to the facility! Sent message in booking they didn't answer. Needed to book another accommodation and didn't get my money back! YHA is so much better recommended and it the same price for better standards!

Can't contact them. Impossible to get a hold of

It's simple and affordable.

Location and set-up.

Nice & cosy place. Really clean with an outside space spacious with big tables & several efficient & really good fridges ! Security camera working 24/7 in the kitchen .

There's no cover space outside. Almost no shade. All the chilling area (couch, seats, tables, chairs...) aren't covered. Same for the pool. Only one fan for the whole backpack. No pressure in the showers. No pressure in the hot water kitchen sink. All the sunbath, the oven, the pans are in a terrible state.... + indigenous come regularly in the backpack at night (3times this month)

The pool and location are nice

A little expensive for how small and minimal room for bags.

If you want to have a place where you can

Good rooms.

My sneakers were stolen.

Nothing my reservation was cancelled

I didn’t stay because it was cancelled!!!

Nice relaxing atmosphere

The mattress was horribly uncomfortable

Aircon

Lot of drug use. Needle under the bed. Very unsafe. Kitchen horrible. People jumping off roof and loud all night.

Haven't had any chance to meet the expectations 😕 it was disrupted by my families.

We were both disgusted at the ageism we were confronted with. It is against the law and we will be making a formal complaint to the ACCC and the Federal Minister. Hence we did not stay in the property as we felt unwelcome.

Nice pool, friendly travellers there with me, funky setup - felt like a campsite. A/c was good to have in the room, self checkin worked for me. Cleanliness in room was alright. Being able to leave luggage for the day was cool, though was outdoors without any protection or anyone looking after it.

Apparently at least the week I was there it was common (maybe just a mishap this particular week) that rooms were overbooked so a few of us were asked to change location or sleep in a mixed dorm rather than women's dorm. I ended up in my room that I'd booked but that was a bit stressful as we were out and away during the day and when I thought I'd come for my room, things had changed. I didn't love that the kitchen smelled really poorly, I assume it might have been the bins. That might have been other travellers' doing but that was foul. Bathroom tap kept running, wasting precious water, one of the toilets kept the light on 24/7 as switch was broken, wasting precious energy. Shower was passable, not a heap of water coming out but hot and cold - almost outdoor showers as doors for showers and toilets were open at bottom and top like public toilets, right next to pool. Was okay, again felt like camping. Nowhere to leave valuables, no staff to see and talk to, wouldn't pick up the phone for a call but messaged back after a while. Pool chairs and sofas had seen better years, very well-used. I found it a bit pricey considering no staff were present at any time (except for changing sheets). Other travellers had used up all cupboard and floor space, so had to sleep with my luggage in bed.
