“Hygiene standards left a lot to be desired”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 May 2012 NEW

This is one of the worse hotels we have ever stayed in. That the rooms were very basic ( and i really do mean basic) could have been overlooked if they were clean. The quilt on our bed had stains on it, and the mould and mildew in the shower room needed some urgent attention. We stayed here for one... More

We do set extremely high standards with our hygiene and cleanliness of our property and unfortunately on this occasion an oversight from us has detracted from your stay in Alice Springs.

Great location in the centre of town. Security OK, and rooms (basic 3.5 star) were fine, with newish and comfortable firm mattresses.

“The Aurora Alice Springs”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2012

We stayed at the Aurora recently and felt it was good value for money-in an excellent position with easy walking access to shops, attractions like the Olive Pink Botanic Gardens, Anzac Hill and even the Telegraph Station. What made the Aurora stand out for me was the friendly and very helpful staff.

I stayed at the Aurora hotel for one night in Alice springs. It was ok. The bathroom was a bit tired and the pillows were in need of replacement as they were a bit lumpy. The staff were friendly. Great Location and quite secure.
