I stayed at YHA Alice Springs for six nights; the mixed bedroom was clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful! The bathrooms and showers are clean; the common areas are clean. The location is excellent, within a few minutes from the leading shops. Thank you, Anna and Alex, for your hospitality.

Welcoming, clean, movie nights. The best part by far was meeting Uncle who took me and a few other guests for a visit to a local waterhole and spoke with us about indigenous culture and lore. Thanks so much Uncle!

This was a pretty good hostel! Had all the facilities needed - washing machine, dryer, clothes line and a pool! The staff were also very friendly and helpful finding restaurants and activities to do. Film night was also sweet and sociable!

I arrived early in the morning and went to reception to leave my bags and go for a wander and was told I should come back around 12 to get in the room. I got back around 11 and sat by the pool and at 11:30 Anna came over with my key card and told me I could go to my room (she did the same with a few other people too so it was lovely she remembered us all) it was a nice touch that she went out of her to find us and give us keys. The hostel at first appearance looks slightly run down but my goodness I was so surprised by how clean everywhere was. There was always multiple staff/volunteers around the hostel cleaning up and it showed. The kitchen especially was the cleanest most organised kitchen I’ve seen in terms of hostels so that was a massive bonus! ‘Uncle’ is one of the volunteers here and is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. He took a few of us to Emily gap one day on his break, then another time to the Telegraph station. Another evening he did a talk with us to teach us all about Uluru before we took a tour the next day, so we could appreciate it in the eyes of the aboriginal people. It was such a nice touch to get to speak to someone so knowledgable on a personal level. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are in the area, you won’t regret it. All the staff are super friendly and chatty, and the outdoor cinema is a nice authentic touch every evening.…

We were very impressed with the YHA. Good prices, great location, the facilities were everything you needed and clean. The standout was the staff, they were lovely and super helpful. Open air movies every night (bring earplugs if you want a super early night, otherwise a great initiative).

Nice clean double room. Plenty of room for luggage etc, some hanging space and a little table in the room. Good shared bathroom. Great looking pool (although I didn't have time for a swim). Well equipped kitchen.

Responded 19 Jan 2020
Hi - thanks for staying with us at our special hostel. Did you know it used to be an outdoor movie theatre? The reception and original screen is still there and adds to our outback atmosphere. Hope you enjoyed Alice and Central Australia.

Staff here were lovely and the rooms were clean and warm (for the winter weather). The staff provided heaters for the room because nights were cold in July. The kitchen was bright, spacious and clean. I only stayed for one night but I really liked the hostel. I found the staff very obliging and friendly. This is a lovely hostel, in a great location too.
