This is the worst hotel I stayed in Australia. The rooms were grim and filthy. The ac didnt work properly. The worst thing is that I found bed bugs in my room! They were right in my bad, on the floor, in the shower. The management moved me to another room but it was in the same condition. We'll, I... More

We stayed at Toddy's for three nights in total - one before a trip and two after. As promised we got pick-up at the airport but two hours after we had told that we would arrive (when we called to confirm our pick-up). So nice to be pick-up but not so nice to wait that long not knowing if they... More

GOOD: This place is quite centrally located, about 20 mins walk to town. We were picked up on time from the airport by a free Toddy's shuttle. Make sure you call ahead to let them know you're coming. There are 2 pools on site so you have some reprieve from the heat. The first night we thought we lucked out... More

My daughter and I stayed for two nights, one before our Uluru tour and one after,they even stored our luggage while we were away. We stayed in a family room, which was clean and tidy (the shower/toilet area could have done with a vacuum). The shuttle bus picked us up from the airport and took us back , toast and... More

We, two over-60s from Germany, decided to 'take the plunge' and stay at a backpackers' place in Alice - and we didn't regret it! Apart from the rather incorrect e-mail info that it was a '5-10 minute walk' from the Greyhound bus stop (it was more!), everything went really well. We had a very clean, quiet double room with a...

We booked our accommodation based on Tripadvisor reviews of Toddy's, and we were not disappointed. There were 4 of us so we shared a 6-share dorm with ensuite. First impressions were pretty good, the shuttle bus driver and the guys at the front desk were really nice and chilled. The room itself, is well basically what you paid for. There... More

Well, here it is. Toddy's is what it looks like on the tin. A bit of a grim hostel. We booked a twin room - which actually was alright - bit smoky smelling and a bit dingy - but beds seemed clean enough and there was a kitchenette that we weren't expecting. But you had to hire all cutlery and... More

We stayed in a budget room for 2 nights, the room was very basic as all there was in it was a bed, but then again what more do you need in a room, we payed $64 per night per room so it was very good value. Cheap booze in the bar, cheap meals, very secure, really helpful staff and... More
