Guest Reviews

• Vaillant (3/5): - piscine pas mal et bon emplacement Le prix est très cher pour ce que c'est, l'établissement est assez sale, l'extérieur est toujours mouillé et le sol très glissant, la musique est mise excessivement forte tous les soirs même en semaine c'est très désagréable à la longue, il fait beaucoup trop froid dans les chambres
• Sandra (6/5): -
• Le (10/5): - Good Good
• Albert (6/5): -
• Florentin (10/5): -
• Joris (6/5): - Super Lage, nettes Personal, wurde regelmäßig geputzt. Große Schließfächer. Wirklich sehr laut, man kann sich nirgends in Ruhe hinsetzen, weil ständig laute Musik läuft, auch bei der Küche und beim Pool etc. also gibt es keine ruhigen Aufenthaltsbereiche. Betten waren auch nicht super gemütlich.
• jack (10/5): -
• Linda (7/5): Okey - It was alright. They do have a bar that plays music every night but it never bothered me. Quiet where the rooms where, key card nessecary to get to rooms. There is lockers in each room to lock your things in. They clean the facilities every day but other guest leaves it in a mess! Not really the hostels fault... loacation is good, close to coles. The room keeps a steady tempeture with AC but can just ask for a extra blanket The room did become quite smelly
• William (10/5): -
• Mohamed (1/5): HORRIBLE - Rien La chambre est un congélateur, la clim est régler tellement fort que le matelas est mouillé, si vous êtes sur le lit du haut vous vous prenez l’air de la Clim en pleine tête. Simplement le pire endroit payant où dormir que j’ai vu et je pèse mes mots
• Michael (9/5): - Location , Clean, Comfortable , Affordable .
• Luca (1/5): TERRIBLE STAY FAR FROM THIS PLACE - Really poor experience at MOM Darwin. The hostel is not well maintained and cleanliness is below standard. What’s worse is the lack of support from staff — issues are ignored instead of being solved. Definitely not worth the money and far from what is advertised. Would not recommend to anyone. Stayed at MOM Darwin and honestly very disappointed. The place looks good online but the reality is quite different. Cleanliness was inconsistent, and some areas felt neglected. Staff were not very helpful when issues were raised, which made the experience even worse. For the price you pay, you expect a much better standard and at least basic support from management. Overall, I wouldn’t stay here again and wouldn’t recommend it.

• Rosmarie (9/5): -
• Fozzard (10/5): I’d live there if I could - Friendly staff with positive attitude always willing to help Nothing I love it can not fault it
• Andrea (7/5): -
• Giomara (1/5): -
• viggo (6/5): - Location AC Spiders in bathroom (and hot) Loud (party and DJ) Uncomfortable beds
• Samantha (5/5): Passabile ma solo per pochissime notti - Posizione eccellente Pulizia decisamente migliorabile, aria condizionata troppo elevata nelle stanze, in generale un struttura non troppo curata
• Filippo (4/5): -
• Leo (8/5): -
• Kaichi (8/5): -
• Yaswanth (5/5): - They said they have pool, but it's under renovation, there is no hot water, and room tidiness is not upto the mark.
• lukeyro (10/5): Bel hostello, consiglio a tutti - la pulizia dei bagni e anche la cucina, la posizione centrale in città
• Tracey (10/5): -
• Kalicia (7/5): I had a lovely stay—short, relaxing, and thoroughly enjoyable. - Accessibility, Washing Machines and Dryers, On the Main Street. It’s slightly loud
• MReno1 (9/5): A pleasant stay - The staff always accommodating to my needs and I will miss them all Sometimes the room staff forgot to top up the milk and sugar a few times
• kate (7/5): -
• Yami.B (9/5): - Excelente ubicación, una limpieza espectacular tanto en los baños como en los espacios comunes incluso con muchos huéspedes. En las habitaciones y todo el lugar hace mucho frío por que tienen el aire acondicionado prendido a 20° o quizás menos. A la noche dormí con varias frazadas por el frío que hacía en el cuarto. El aparato para el agua caliente de la cocina no funciona y no tienen ningún cartel que indique eso. Hay que usar una olla para calentar agua ya que no tienen pava eléctrica. La cerradura eléctrica del cuarto estaba fuera de servicio por lo que no podía abrir mi habitacion con la llave y necesitaba que alguien de recepción me abriera todo el tiempo. Mientras estaba dentro del hostel tenía que dejar la puerta trabada con algo para que no se cerrara volviendolo inseguro y poco práctico.
• Steven (9/5): - It is one of the better places in Darwin very safe The reception were you can get a great cup of coffee and sandwiches
• Yannis (5/5): -
• Jean (10/5): - Top pour dépanner

• MReno1 (5/5): Can find better - Location was convenient A bit old fashioned compared to the rest around the country, lacks style with out date facilities
• MReno1 (5/5): Able to find better - Location is ok Not worth the money they charge, run down and poor equipment in kitchen
• Lloyd (10/5): - Staff,nice air-conditioned, value for money. They were renovating pool so not available when I was there.
• Bruce (7/5): It was under construction to upgrade the pool and deck so I missed out on those. Smoking area is on the eating deck so y - It was secure Private rooms are REQUIRED for guests over 40
• Horot (10/5): -
• Lloyd (9/5): Great hostel, good value, great aircon. - Nice aircon in room, nice staff and 24 hour front desk. Good value price. Swimming pools were under renovation.
• Nicola (6/5): -
• MIAO (10/5): -
• Xibin (6/5): -
• Peter (8/5): - All staff were super helpful & friendly. NOT enough fridge&kitchen space.
• Manuel (4/5): Nice but surely not worth the price - Really in the city centre and very close toblots of stuff to see and to do. Nice and kind and really welcoming staff. I was in the single room. Really quite in the night. The linen were all covered in dust. The bathroom was nice and clean but not hot water at all. The room smelled of cheese and the moquette was all stained. Not worth the money they asked for 3 nights but I booked to late and it was the only one still affordable.
• Fabian (6/5): - Die Lage des Hostels war top – direkt in der belebten Straße, sehr zentral. Das Hostel war international, was für eine angenehme Atmosphäre gesorgt hat. Die Küche war modern ausgestattet, auch wenn sie klein war, aber dafür gut genutzt. Der Außenbereich mit Pool und Bar war schön gestaltet. Für Leute, die gern feiern, ist das Hostel ideal – es gab regelmäßig DJ-Sets. Die Bäder waren einfach, aber sauber und funktional. Auch das Personal war freundlich. Das Hostel ist klar ein Party-Hostel, was nicht jedem gefällt – die Musik lief täglich von mittags bis nachts und war sehr laut. In unserem Zimmer ließ sich das Fenster nicht öffnen oder schließen, und die Klimaanlage lief dauerhaft, ohne dass man sie selbst regeln konnte. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis war eher schwach. Die Küche war zwar gut ausgestattet, aber sehr klein und schnell überfüllt. Geschirr und Besteck musste man gegen Pfand ausleihen und selbst verwalten – praktisch, aber auch etwas umständlich. Die Zimmereinrichtung war sehr einfach.
• Ella (3/5): It’s okay - Good central location. Probably fun if you like to party. Staff were friendly and helpful. Some communal areas were dirty - the poor cleaners were working hard, but people were constantly leaving dishes, rubbish and cigarette butts in communal areas. They charge you for cutlery, bowls, towels due to high rates of theft and you cannot turn off or alter the air conditioning.
• Pardeep (8/5): -
• MANUEL (10/5): -
• Caio (7/5): - Top location. Comfortable mattress. Friendly staff. Private room in a hostel. Simple and loud especially on a Friday night, but I expected nothing less, rooms could do with windows opening to circulate some fresh air. There is no control of aircon temperature, no soap provided and shampoo provided.
• Menges (9/5): -
• Patrick (7/5): Perfectly good hostel with a great central location - Really nice staff, good sized room with ensuite, great location The rooms were so cold! The a/c had to be on all the time! Pool was shut for repairs :(
• Sawani (10/5): -
• Edward (1/5): Avoid. Its a squat - Friendly staff good location Filthy and poorly maintained. 3 out of 4 toilets out lf order. Room smelled damp and floor was flooded when I woke up. Kitchen has no cutlery plates and cups. Filled with Woolworths bags (way more than people staying). The communal area has very loud music all day. In the morning the dining area is filled with half finished beer cups and the floor is covered in ash. The beds were not comfortable and my room was very cluttered. Graffiti on bathroom doors.
• Elisa (7/5): -
• Damanpreet (5/5): 5/10 - Staff behaviour and pool area Cleaning in the rooms and bathrooms
• Ann (7/5): Seen worse, but wouldn`t really recommend - maybe except for the pools - location was nice cleanliness surely could`ve been better. They accommodate staff there, so no way you`ll get a bottom bed. Also the room is occupied mostly by their belongings.
• Dominic (6/5): -
• Nasemira (10/5): -
• Intisar (8/5): Overall good budget place for short stay - Budget friendly, 24/7 friendly reception, close to greyhound stop, bottom bunk beds have privacy curtains, partying noise doesn't travel to rooms, has its own cafe Would be nice to have basic kitchen dishes and cutlery i.e mug to make tea without having to pay $10 for a cutlery/dish pack
• Mawi (8/5): - Freundliches Personal, sehr hilfsbereit!
• Kaichi (8/5): -
• Christine (10/5): - I loved it. Was sometimes a little bit noisy, but a great place overall. My personal highlight was the big kitchen.
• Braigman (8/5): -

• Deborah (6/5): -
• Ashkr (8/5): -
• Peter (8/5): A bad entrance to the premises was redeemed by good facilities. - The central location and simple set up. I didn’t get a warm welcome at all. After declaring that I’d stayed there previously, and handing over my licence as requested, I was told that as a Territorian, I was not welcome at the backpackers. I was told that despite holding a valid booking, I would not be permitted to stay. I asked why? Was it because I was over 60? No, it was because I was a Territorian. Mind you, there was nothing in the pre- booking blurb that said that Territorians were not welcome.
• Roberts (7/5): -
• Joanne (8/5): - Excellent location. Couldn't be more central Not the best facilities. Kitchen is old and not completely clean
• Alexis (8/5): Clean, comfortable and great location. But isolating for solo travellers. - Location good, room comfortable. Extremely happy with the bathroom/ shower quality and cleanliness of room and bathroom. I came on my own. I travel a lot on my own and find it easy to meet people. However my experience here was very bad. No one staying here seemed open to socialising with those outside of their tight knit friendship group. It made my stay quiet unenjoyable. Please could you initiate events to help people who want to meet new people? There was also an overwhelming focus on cannabis in the social area. That’s fine, but it was excluding to those who didn't partake/ just wanted to drink - again making guests feel isolated instead of welcomed by the hostel.
• veronique (8/5): -
• Rene (9/5): - Great location, clean facilities, fridge storage & cooking facilities
• Philipp Immanuel (6/5): - Das Zimmer war sehr groß und man hatte viel Platz Leider war morgens immer das Bad zum Putzen gesperrt. Außerdem gab es kein Besteck.
• philip (10/5): -
• Prajapati (10/5): -
• Puertiman (9/5): - muy bien ubicado. en frente hay un supermercado y está en una de las calles más movidas de la ciudad. buenas cocinas y terraza. bien sitio para pasar unos días por Darwin.
• Peter (9/5): - Everything
• Peter (10/5): - Great place to stay every thing you wanted and more wish I came here along time ago
• Prajapati (9/5): -
• HIROSHI (7/5): 泊まるだけなら充分 - 前にスーパーがあり便利 エアコンが冷え過ぎだが調節できない。キッチンにカトラリーが置いてない。
• Blanca (6/5): Un hostel flojillo con una terraza - bar con buena música y buen hambiente - La música del pool bar, la terraza y la piscina son muy agradables Los colchones de las literas están muy gastados, no les venía mal un cambio
• Diane (8/5): - Excellent place, very close to many great restaurants and pubs. Well worth the price
• Dustin (5/5): Eh if you need a place to sleep or party I recon! - The location is nice it’s located downtown. It’s cheap for sure. It’s more of a youth party hostel really. Not too clean. Beds and bedding have seen better days.
• Alexander (7/5): Good place to stay - Location was super central. The bathroom was super hot and humid (not surprisingly) but some fans would be nice at least.
• Jen (5/5): fine for a couple of nights but not the best - great location, facilities were very clean staff were pretty rude
• Peter (9/5): - Everything great stay great staff
• Quang Quoc (8/5): -
• Jake (10/5): -
• Laddawan (10/5): -

• Prof. Dr. Roland (6/5): -
• sandrine (7/5): Chambre pratique pour un passage de 3/4 jours, bien située mais prévoir une polaire ! - piscine, cuisine à coté de la terrasse, gentillesse du personnel chambre agréable mais extremement froide, climatisation trop froide et non réglable, nous avons eu besoin de 4 couvertures polaire
