2/10 Poor

四人部屋に宿泊の予定でしたが、あまりにも部屋が汚くて別のホテルを予約しました。ベッドの掃除は途中だったのか分からないですが、外したシーツは残ったままでした。シャワー室の排水溝にはゴキブリが死んでいました。 夜は停まっている車からけっこうな音量で音楽を流している人がいます。 便利な場所だとは思いますが、この近辺は治安は良くなさそうです。

Turned up, reception was closed, someone at the hostel found the receptionist who offered us two keys depending on which room had been made up. Neither had been cleaned and after our long journey had to search the rest of town for a room on the same night.

No lockers and dorm doors are never locked! Rooms and ensuite bathroom dirty, verry thin and uncomfortable mattress. Reception is almost never open even tho it’s said otherwise online, and nobody picks up when you call. Had to leave my key(not that you’d have needed that one anyway) with another girl because I wanted to check out(at 9am!) and reception was closed. Some nice people there tho, good wifi and a bar next door connected to it.

Convenient stay with airport shuttle pick up

Just needed a night stay before heading back to home. Purposely chose a location with end of airport pick up..just took less than 15 mins drive to arrive at airport at 3.42am. The staff at inn was very kind to help me to do the airport shuttle booking without any glitch.

サービスなし

2018年2月から3月にかけて2泊しました。 ホテルに18時過ぎに到着しました。事前の情報ではフロントは19時30分まで開いてるとありましたが、フロントはもぬけの殻。玄関に貼り出してある電話番号に電話しても繋がらない。 ホテル前で困っていると、通行人がホテルの裏から周って滞在客の1人(オーナーから鍵の管理などを任されている)を起こし、彼が部屋まで案内してくれました。 しかし案内された部屋はベッドメイクされておらず、その彼が慌ててベッドメイクしていました。 Wi-Fiも接続悪いです。私の泊まった部屋では拾えませんでした。 結局、チェックインらしい手続きは何もできず、帰る日を迎えました。 現金での支払いを希望していたので、ちゃんとレジを開けてレシートを貰いたかったのですが、レシートのプリントアウトのやり方が分からないということで手書きの領収書のようなものをもらいました。 ホテルとしてあり得ないのはもちろんですが、バックパッカーズでもなかなか見ない適当具合だったので低い評価です。 あと、空港へのシャトルバスあり、と記載されていましたが、もちろんその手続きもしてもらえることなく、自分たちで調べて予約しました。

スタッフの対応が親切

スタッフに用があるときは電話をする必要があるのが少し手間ですが、対応は非常に親切でした。自分のスマホがオーストラリア内で使えなくとも、ホステルの目の前に公衆電話があるのでコインさえあれば大丈夫かと思います。 部屋の清潔さは値段相応で、コンセントがベット1つにつき2つあるのが便利だと思いました。

Room was basic but spacious. Large double bed with air conditioning. Good clean bathroom. Room overlooked the pool, no noise from here. Ideally located close to town centre

Affordable + Comfy stay

Amazing place, everything was perfect for me and I enjoyed my journey in Darwin and my last days in Aussie. Really nice, comfortable and clean private bedroom where was provided new and clean towels. The bed itself was comfy enough for me, and each rooms get its air-conditioner. Pool area was very good too and here it's free laundry and free wifi. The staff was really helpful and polite and the owner so friendly and gentle (he gave me a lift to the airport with one of his awesome car) , well it is quite a distance away from beaches and attractions in town. Definitively the best place to stay, thank you guys :D

Average hostel in a quieter part of town.

Your happiness with a stay here depends on your standards. It is away from the party strip on Mitchell St so is relatively quiet but with a bar next to the pool and no one around to enforce the 10pm quiet rule there was still noise well into the night. My dorm needed a good hoover, there was slime in the bathroom sink, the wall socket in the dorm was hanging out the wall by the wires and the air conditioning was weak. But as a regular backpacker I am used to varying standards and put up with them. Another person might be more turned off so be warned. This hostel will either be fine enough for you or disgust you depending on standards. Facilities: kitchen, pool, bar, TV room. Dorm room had an en suite.

Nice hostel close to CBD

It was clean overall. Good location, close to CBD, Crocodile Cove car rental, Coles, bars, restaurants and coffees. The online booking service was efficient. They quickly responded to my enquiry regarding a late check in, providing with a code to give us access. Everything was quite straight forward and it was easy to book and get there. It was just a little bit 'smelly' at night with all people from the bar beside smoking and all that smoke getting to the outside area or balcony of the rooms.

Neu bei Expedia trifft es...

Ich habe diese Unterkunft gebucht, da sie als neu bei Expedia mit einer guten Bewegung drinnen war. Neu ist dabei allerdings nicht viel. Die Zimmer waren in Ordnung, Bett und Kühlschrank waren relativ neu, das Bad war schon um einiges älter. Beim Personal muss man leider sagen dass sich keiner für Mängel interessiert, bei mir war der Wasserhahn im Badezimmer während meines 4 tätigen Aufenthaltes lose und es interessierte keinen. Die Unterkunft ist ca. 15 min zu Fuß vom Stadtkern und knapp 30 Minuten von der Waterfront entfernt.

Fancy and ideal hostel to stay in the CBD

This is the third hostel that I have been lived in Darwin CBD, compare to the previous two hostel, Crocodilly has more appropriate price, which actually is the cheapest one atm, the hostel facilities are quite new, every room has own bathroom and refrigerator. They have a nice pool as well, so far it's extremely clean and deep enough as i noticed. To regard with the staff here, a thai lady who is enthusiastic about her job and very friendly to everyone. Manager is a reliable person as well, always looking after backpackers‘ safety...
