Expensive for what it is but I think everthing in Ayers Rock is pricey! Clean and fairly basic but to be honest you spend most of the time on tours. We had a great view of the rock which was wonderful. Not much personality but a good place to stay if you want to see the rock more

Rooms were spacious and modern but overall the resort is tired looking, especially the pool area which looked liked it had not been maintained properly in years. Definitely not 4 star! Some of the pools for the cheaper resorts were much nicer. With few exceptions hotel staff were surly and unhelpful. As expected, as there is no competion there is... more

stayed here for two nights. Taking into account the monopoly the hotel chain (voyages) has and the difficulties and costs setting up a resort and maintaining it in the desert, the costs might be ok, we payed 320 AUD/night. The hotel itself is nothing special and would not receive the 4 1/2 star rating it awarded itself anywhere else. If... more

We stayed in a Rock view room and had uninterupted views of the rock. Fantastic. The rooms were large with huge bathroom - two sinks, WC, bath and shower. Rooms were clean and fresh. Great king size bed. Balcony to sit and take in the surroundings. Service at reception was always friendly and prompt. The resort has some good gift... more

When you stay at the resort you know it is going to be expensive but as you are a captive market and you are only ever likely to go there once and there is no pool of local labour to draw upon so it is understandable to an extent. The alternative is to stay at Alice Springs but that is... more

I booked my husband and I at the Desert Gardens based on tripadvisor reviews and overall the stay was alright as we came prepared to expect what others had said about the hotel. The bad bits: It's not a 4.5 star in the least and it can be a bit dirty in the corners of the room but overall our... more

Truly, this is a 3.5 star review, but went in favor of 3 stars due to the high cost per night (close to 350 USD) and the check out time of 10 am! (check in is at 3pm) As you can see for yourself, the Tripadvisor reviews for this hotel are outright dismal. I was literally not looking forward to... more

Stayed 2 nights at Desert Gardens. Hotel room was great, although it's quite a distance away (about 20Km??) we had a view of the Rock from our room. Ate at the hotel restaurant, White Gums, one night and the next at Geckos in the town centre. Both were good but the food & service was better at White Gums. Geckos... more

My wife and I spent three nights at the Desert Gardens Hotel in March, 2009. Overall, our visit to Uluru and vicinity was an excellent experience and very worthwhile but the very nature of the remote location results in limited choices in terms of hotels, dining, etc. Nearly everyone who visits here stays at the Ayers Rock Resort, a sprawling... more
