We would highly recommend Alice lodge to anyone wanting a Hostel in Alice which is clean an cheap. P.S I had 4 slices... More

I didnt get picked up from the airport, and the owner seems to hate everybody, even though sometimes he manages to fake a smile. If you take more than 2 slices of bred, they tell you they will pretty much hang you and the toilets and rooms were way to dirty!

Well Jacob, I'd first like to point out that there is no possible way to not to avail of the pick-up from the airport, our shuttle is operated by the Alice Springs airport shuttle who are contracted to meet every flight into Alice Springs.

G'day RayBadger(profile name), Its seems there was nothing you liked when you stayed in Alice Lodge. Alice Lodge isn't for everybody, the hostel is mainly about making new friends and relaxing in the warm summer weather of Alice Springs by the pool and so on. I don't see the point in going through what you disliked as most of it... More

A reasonable backpacker’s lodge with friendly staff and decent amenities. The room was quite clean apart for the duvet cover which was stained with God only knows what and the carpet needed hoovering. The lodge was within walking distance of local amenities and a continental style breakfast was provided.

Freebies (internet/wifi/breakky/movies/book exchange) is what you come here for, but it's located outside the city centre (so take a cab after sunset for safety) and the boss (PJ) is really conceited... And don't take the room next to the eating bench... There's no sleeping after 7am. Overall ok.

Dear subtiele, As I have no idea who you are as you are clearly hiding behind your tripadvisor idenification, I cannot comment on the reason why you would think I am conceited. And to be honest, I don't deny that I am and I can only presume that 99% of people might not think of themselves as conceited but being... More
