The atmosphere is good, if you want to chill out by the pool and read a book you can, want to have a couple chilled beers and listen to music by the pool, you can. Staff are good, always went above and beyond for me. Location for me is good, five minute walk into town, close enough for everything you need, but just far enough away for a peaceful stay. I've stayed at all the hostels in Darwin, and in my opinion they are all good in their own ways. If your after a relaxed stay, but still want to have a bit of a party, then Darwin Hostel will suit you fine. For me I've always enjoyed myself the most at Darwin Hostel. Enjoy!

The staff and other guests were very chilled out. Great environment to just hang out and chill after exploring what Darwin has to offer. There is a new manager that has great plans to bring this great place back to what it should be like and show it’s true potential.
It is very clear that a lot of people have stayed here as it looks well used. The beds could do with some work as I could feel the springs when laying down.

Very nice swimming pool and the area around, enough sunbeds, pillows etc. Friendly backpackers, it was a cozy place with a good vibe. The room was not big, but comfortable for sleeping. Good air condition in the room. Hot shower and I appreciated good light and enough space in the shower.
The stuff was nice and friendly, but when I needed to solve an issue it took very long time.

small, pretty clean, excellent vibe, just a really nice place to relax and feel comfortable while visiting Darwin
over all I didn’t mind the manager, he puts a lot of work into the hostel and tries to make everyone’s stay the best it can be but was unprofessional at times and got irritated easily at certain people

Really amazing hostel with a great manager Max, who makes you feel very welcome and comfortable! The hostel itself is right next to the city center but just these 3 minutes walking away, so you can enjoy a silent sleep. The pool and whole hostel atmosphere makes you feel like you’re in Hawaii or some exotic place, I had a truly fabulous time there!! :)

The public facilities are very clean and there is daily cleaning. It's the only hotel with a storage room. The people who come here are very polite and the front desk is very patient. I stayed here for 6 nights. I am from China and am very happy with this hotel. Looking forward to coming again with my friends·

The atmosphere and staff were excellent. Heaps of events planned and a very friendly crowd staying there. Great location. Good pool. Plenty of bathrooms and showers. On check-in they give you a tour of the facilities and a pamphlet of recommendations for the area, quiet helpful. Easy access to bars, downtown, and the beach. Liquor store across the street.
The aircon filters were extremely dirty and the showers/bathrooms could have used a few more cleans per day.

Great Location, Great people and great Liam! I liked the pool and the day bad. BYO is allowed, which saves some money and the bottle shop is just a few blocks away.
Facilities could be cleaner, spicely for that price.. my bunk bad was to low to sit on which was a bit annoying as well. Needs a few more fans if you'll ask me.

Great small hostel in Darwin. Good price and a few minutes walk from the main street. I like that it isnt next door to a loud pub. The kitchen has clean big fridges and clean things to use. Bed is comfy. The manager Liam is very friendly and a perfect manager for the hostel. Doors have codes to enter.
