This is a third rate dive mixing noisy residents and visitors. Avoid it if you want to sleep. A car stolen from inside the property didn't improve its image.

Liked it was opposite a park Did not like that I was unable to check in until 5pm, place not cleaned properly, other guests being allowed to stay up drinking with loud music until late, broken power sockets not disconnected, no comfortable seats to relax in, fridges hadnt been cleaned out since mid May, no cutlery, bowls, plates, cups etc available in the kichen - had to buy my own, slat missing in bottom of the bed frame I slept in, other guests being able to set up a TV to watch soccer on the verandah outside my room at 1am, place in poor condition.

Terrible, do not stay here!

Pros: Unfortunately, there is nothing to be liked at this hostel.
Cons: Starting by fixing the beds, cleaning the rooms/bathrooms, ask guests who are disorderly and rude to leave, clean the kitchen fridges, secure area.
Unfortunately, this hostel was the worst that I have ever stayed in. People were drunk and unruly during daylight hours, and throughout the night. The room was not clean, and the bathroom was disgusting. I stayed on a top bunk and as I got up to get on the bed, the guard rail fell off! I paid for 3 nights, but only stayed one. It is one of the few times I've ever felt really unsafe in a hostel. There are many other reputable hostels in Darwin - don't stay here!
