The location, my flight was cancelled so I got an bonus holiday extra in Darwin. With the local bus (Free of charge they waved the ticket price away) to the Airport. All need to sees are in walking distances from the hostel. 100% motivated people who end, start their work holiday in Australia, or people like me who enjoyed to be in between people who have the same interest, and of course saving lots of money! An hotel next door via booking.com would have costed me € 180,00 for two nights, now I spend € 18,00 a night. This is for a missed flight an very nice bonus. Yes, you sleep with max 6 in a room, close your eyes and sleep well; I did not mind to be with others! The shower(s) were extreem: hot and cold and cleaned. Lots of soap is available and nice balconies and relax area and outside kitchen are available. I did not use it, but even washing machines and refrigeration are free to use. And that all with an happy manager, who provided lots of good tips, incl. an tip how to go to an Zen bar serving free (yes, I did not pay) food! Talk go him and you can even safe dinner that way, the view you get from Zen is the best spot in Darwin 360 degrees view on the 16th floor!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit 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.
