United KingdomSpacious room with decent aircon, by decent I mean they're literally blasting cold aircon, which is much needed in Darwin weather. They've also got a pool and on-site DJs.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

- Review score9.6Exceptional · 106 reviewsVery well equipped kitchen. Clean. Comfy. Had bread, butter, milk and condiments supplied! Even a couple beers and a bottle of wine which was a lovely surprise 😮. Great location, good for kids with pools, enclosed swimming, Ping pong, and basketball court in the precinct. Great bars and cafes, security patrolled at night and I felt very safe.Guest review byGrangerSolo traveler

Staff here were friendly and helpful, price was good, rooms were beautiful, beds were extremely comfy and big, pools were nice. Location: sometimes felt a little unsafe outside of the gates at night but overall very good location. Would highly recommend and would stay here againGuest review byAliceGroup

Made lots of good friends unlike other hostels where nobody will talk to you . It's also quiet enough to sleep if you are working.The owner has speedy response if any problems occur and great tips for things to do in the local area.Guest review byJustinSolo traveler

- Avg. price/night: $72.11Review score6.8Pleasant · 871 reviewsLocation is very central, staff is nice and helpful. Like a normal busy backpacker hostel, bedrooms are busy and not the cleanest, bunk beds aren't he most comfortable but okay. Kitchen is quite usable with some free fridge space. Laundry was easily usable. Bathroom was spacious and clean.Guest review byLinda LiisSolo traveler
- Avg. price/night: $87.24Review score8.3Very Good · 2,545 reviewsI wanted budget accommodation, that was not a hostel or anything with shared facilities. Argus was not only the cheapest at this next level, but included basic breakfast each morning, and the room was superb for this budget price. Also all staff I interacted with (both front counter, breakfast bar, and cleaning), were fantastic and could not be more happy to assist me as needed.Guest review byTonySolo traveler
