The room was ok with air conditionning, pretty clean. All the rooms have onsuite shower and toilet. The place is well located at the edge of the town centre. Anyway, I found the place quite dirty; indeed, the shower was pretty dirty, all the dishes in the kitchen required to be washed before being used. The outside tables were not... More

After travelling through Australia for 4 month we got stuck in kathrin with a broken car and my boyfriend got very sick. Therefore we had to find a place where he could stay with his 40degrees of temperature. This is how we came to the Palm Court Hostel. We were very lucky to get the last doubleroom (rest fully outbooked)... More

After traveling around a Australia for the past 6 months, this would have to be the worst place I have stayed. Nothing is clean, the staff are more concerned about facebook & sending texts.

Avoid this hotel. The price is about 90$ for a room without air conditionner (and somehow it's better seeing the age of this machine). You share the room with many cockroaches... The reception is holding by a girl who don't care about people. For 10$ more you could have a proper room and have a good sleep ! Don't hesitate... More

My partner and I stayed here out of necessity and afterwards reflected that we would have preferred to spend the night sitting up at the 24 hour McDonald's in town. We arrived in Katherine at around 9 p.m. after deciding we didn't want to stay at the awful-looking Mataranka Homestead Resort, and the one good thing I will say about... More

Place stinks. Rooms are miserable - really. I have photos to prove it. I paid 25AUD for a night in 10 bed mixed dorm. There are lockers there but there are no keys for them. They overcharged me selling bus ticket (return) to Katherine Gorges for another 25AUD. If you're backpacker you're massively better off booking accommodation with Nitmiluk National... More

I advise you to stay there if you are looking for a budget accommodation in Katherine. We went there three times and stayed one night each time, in between excursions.
