Hostel assez moyen mais passable pour quelques nuits
Les chambres et les lits
La cuisine était vraiment trempé sale, sanitaire de qualité très médiocre, mettre au caution pour utiliser des assiettes et couverts, interdiction de consommer de l’alcool

Great location and hostel. Staff might need a bit of training when it comes to customer service but some of them were re
Good location! Nice to have bed with curtains. Great pool and chill area around it.
I didn’t really get a welcoming vibe from some of the staff. I walked up to the reception wanting to check in and I m greeted with a “you alright?”. As a man who have worked for a long time in hospitality you greet guests with a “hi” or a welcome” and “would you like to check in?”. Other hostels I’ve stayed at also notify me on tonight event or schedules on what’s going on. I wasn’t informed by the breakfast times so I missed them when I went out on tours in the mornings. I was going to get some on my last day before check out but there was nothing left even though it was another half hour to go and from what I saw, the breakfast selection was pretty dead and it suits for the young people. I m better off getting my own breakfast. For a random reason a lad started showing off with his bull whip at the pool area, causing disturbance and it’s pretty dangerous. Imagine you are just minding your business, you’ve been out all day and want to relax by the pool for a bit and suddenly loud crack just destroys your peace. A few of the staff were friendly and said hello whenever I walked passed (like you should do) but it seems like most hostels are employing everyone nowadays. :( I know it’s a hostel but I m a customer and it’s my money.

Exceptional
We got a free upgrade upon arrival. We had booked a 4 bed dorm and the lady at the reception was very kind and gave us a double bed in a private room which we truly appreciated. Especially after a 21h bus ride from Alice Springs to Darwin was this a friendly gesture.

It was pretty clean
If they offer "included breakfast" , it should be more than toast, marmalade n vegemite
