I stayed there for a long time 2x3weeks. Most of people are there for a long stay. So everybody knows everybody. It's like a family atmosphere. But this hostel looks dirty even if people are cleaning everyday. The kitchen closed at 9.30pm which is way too early. There no wifi. The pool is really cool and location too, just 3min... More

What can I say about Frogs? I had first heard about it in my Footprint Australia guide book. It was the only hostel that received a five star rating. First let me exclaim: this is a Laid Back hostel. There is nothing fancy here, and that's why I fell in love with it. I had also been told to stay... More

We stayed here for 4 nights in an 8 bed dorm. We had booked before and said we were arriving at night. When we got there it was teeming with people and the reception was shut, so after a while we found the night person and eventually got to our room. They could've said you have to do this this...

this place was dirty, the bathrooms were not clean, a big cokroach welcomed us in the reception (which the lady responded with the raid spray to), people were drinking and smoking outside our room almost all night, made a lot of noise and the whole room smelled like beer. the double cost us more than 70 aud per night, certainly...

It seemed the general consensus of the couple of dozen or so people unfurtunate to find themselves there at the time I was there that this place is a bit of dive (i.e. unclean, unkept, dirty, unhygienic, unsafe). There seemed to be little care from the staff and the little work that was done to keep the place tidy was... More

We stayed there for only one night, but found it really nice, for a backpacker hostel! The room was spacious, but needed a few extra plugs! bathroom was ok, though no toilet paper... And the kitchen was not the tidiest, but what can we expect for less than 30 bucks a night? We could lock the door, and had lockers... More

OMG where to start! I am a bit picky when choosing places to stay but unfortunately for me i let my friend pick the hostel. I have travelled through various countries and stayed in many hostels and this was the worst one i've ever stayed in. As soon as i opened the door to my room i nearly spewed. It... More

We stayed here as part of a trip travelling around Australia at last minute as it was mentioned in the Lonely Planet. The room cost AUS$60 and was the worst place we have ever stayed! The room was tiny with just enough room to get around the double bed, the sheets were dirty, the walls were dirty, the fan was... More

My partner and i stayed here UNFORTUNATELY for a few days in May. Darwin is expensive, and this happens to be a tiny bit cheaper than the other backpackers... but when the the peak period gets into full swing, it'll be the same price.. so there really isn't any reason to stay here. The double room we stayed in was... More
