My husband and I stayed in the Aurora for two nights, one at either end of our camping excursion to Uluru. This meant we saw two different rooms. The hotel itself lacks any charm whatsoever. Its rooms are basic, and both rooms had seen better days. One had a dripping showerhead that wasn't attached to the wall very well. The... More

"We hope we made you SMILE" Thank you for your review on your visit last November. We did address your points raised with our housekeeping staff last November and I am confident that we have not had a reoccurrence of similar maintenance issues.

Conveniently located. Clean rooms. Very friendly and helpful staff. More of a motel than a hotel. We - two adults and two teenagers - stayed for one night. Initial confusion when we booked via hotels.com was resolved very quickly on the phone before we arrived. Ochre restaurant is a nice place for an evening meal with friendly staff. Breakfast -...

We stayed here before and after our Red Centre safari. Location is great, walking distance to restaurants, supermarket, etc. Efficient check in and friendly staff. The room was nice. Good bath room and properly working airco which is needed in the heat. Nice little swimming pool and facilities for laundry. The hotel also runs a restaurant but we did not... More

An standard tourist hotel, where we stayed in a double standard room. The hotel lies close to the mall and Anzac Hill. The size of the room was average, but the beds were too soft. There was adequate reading light for bed-reading. The room sported the usual amenities like electric kettle with complimentary coffee/tea/fridge, but no safe. Aircon was noisy.... More

We stayed at this lovely hotel for two nights in November. The deluxe room was beautiful, large, with a very nice-smelling sprig of greenery. Our rate included Brekkie, which was the usual fare, good choice of mains and some fruit (mostly canned), mueslix. The pool is tiny, but there is a tepid spa (which was fine because it is HOT...

The Aurora is probably the best located motel (or hotel) in Alice Springs. The river is on one side and the Mall is on the other. The Aurora is motel style accommodation.
