Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The lack of Power points and the cramped uncomfortable conditions of the beds made this place a very disappointing experience. I wouldn't recommend for a long term stay.
This was a well located hostel with lots if food and shopping available close.
Some staff were very friendly and helpful while others were not.
Single rooms were spacious.
Property could use a bit of TLC and it would be really good place.

Cheap Darwin backpackers
Cheap, comfortable backpackers close to everything
It's a decent hostel on the main street. Have a no alcohol policy which is a bit strange. Rooms and bathrooms are kept pretty clean considering the amount of people. A cheaper option than others, very good if you don't plan to spend much time in the hostel. Staff are helpful, can organize tours or give job leads.
Nice stay overall. Pillow too soft and water shower head missing at some cubicle. No issue as move to another one. Opposite Coles Supermarket, bars and attractions. Easy to travel around.
Clean nice pool and friendly staff. Really happy with how staff handled my booking at YouthShack while chilli undergoing renovation.

Goood!
Good location in Darwin. Everything is close to the Backpackers!!
And clean bathroom.
Good location on Mitchell Street. Coles supermarket very close which is handy. Bed is very average, old school air conditioning in room with ceiling fan. Corridor is very noisy in morning, so if you've had a late night don't expect much sleep. Not bad price considering location.

Good stay
Yeah it was a nice stay! Clubs were noisey on the weekend so earplugs would be a good call
I arrived at 1:40am called the night manager but she was at another property so i was kept waiting for 30 minutes to check in. Once into my room i was met with the next door kebab shop and every drunk on the streets conversations, the air conditioner from the room above was constantly dripping on to the air con unit in my room so that was awesome for 2 days trying to sleep through. the staff have an affinity for slaming doors shut no matter what time of the day or night it is 12am BAM, 6:30 BAM, 2pm BAM.
toilets and showers were in the same disgusting state the whole duration of the stay.... avoid this place its a giant rip off!!
