Tried to think of a good title for this review, but all i could come up with was 'not bad' which i suppose is very adequate. This isn't a big flash hostel, or a nice cosy hostel, or a charming atmospheric hostel, it's just an ok run of the mill hostel. Rooms were nice, tidy and clean. Pool area was... More

I arrived in Darwin at around 1AM, I was aware of the late night a/hours check-in - rang the number and someone showed me the room. Nice casual service - didn't check ID's or anything; my brother and I both got the discounted prices on the one card. The rooms had A/C which was essential in the 32-34 temperatures with... More

A fridge, air-conditioning a modern bathroom and tea and coffee. I would like to thank the manager for making our stay so enjoyable. All the staff are friendly and helpful.... More

Hi there, the YHA in Darwin has in each room an own fridge and new renovated bathroom. I couldn't believe it. I am very excited about the fridge. A very nice pool and social area, BBQ's on the side, a parking place, which is very handy. Unfortunately the kitchen is very very small. But compared to the other hostels in... More

I had a good stay with Darwin YHA for 3 nights. The rooms are new renovated and the BBQ stove is awesome. Good location about 5mn walking from the center and 15mn for the beach. Their staffs are friendly and really helpful to book tours. All in all, Darwin is awesome - don't miss out the Mindil Beach Market Thursday... More

I loved the rooms at the yha although some of the staff were extremely rude (especially the manager) I witnessed him bringing 2 girls to tears on 2 seperate occasions. The night porters were drunk every night but the other staff never did anything about it, they were also fighting with residents and the manager turned a blind eye. I... More

I spent three nights in this YHA, but didn't use any of the facilities as I had a friend showing me around. There is a small swimming pool. Rooms are MASSIVE and ensuite, but there were two long stays in my room and it was a mess, which is not the hostel's fault. Fridge in the room always a nice... More
