Nothing

The management, cleaning, the environment. Sono stata cacciata dall’ostello perché mi sono lamentata che qualcuno è entrato nella mia stanza mentre dormivo alle 2 am per fare degli scherzi infantili. Inoltre il fatto non è successo una sola volta, bensì due volte solamente nella mia stanza. Il giorno dopo parlando con altri ragazzi dell’ostello ho capito che era una prassi ricorrente. Il proprietario piuttosto che risolvere il problema ha preferito cacciare me, invece di cercare di capire chi fossero i colpevoli. Un ostello decadente che merita di chiudere per la scarsa gestione.

good company

The hostel owner let me know that the hostel was to close for renovations a few days before my arrival, which threw me off slightly as I had booked on this platform and there was no update of this kind. I paid the same that everybody pays for in this hostel, which looks really nice in pictures, but it basically was a construction site. The biggest problem for me was the lack of earlier communication about this and the fact that the booking was non-refundable, therefore I had no choice but to stay or go but lose my money.

moved to a different hostel two days before arrival. Damp smell and broken windows in room, no smoke alarm in room, no hot water in shower.

The owner is very rude. (Arnoud De Le Mart) If you don't contact him, it looks like his ego is broken. Just out for money. Which is not invested in the hostel itself. I advise you not to go to this hostel.

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!

Lovely open spaces, comfortable chairs. Very kind staff and owner

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
