My best friend and I stayed here for about a week while backpacking around Australia. It was great! Although we didn't spend a whole heap of time at the hostel itself, we checked out the kitchen area, it was modern and clean. The pool area is awesome! Has a decent sized pool, as well as a smaller pool with waterfall,... more

We stayed in this hostel for two nights in May. There was this big sports happening in Darwin (Arafura Games) at the time so most of the hotels were either fully booked or really expensive, so we "had" to book this hostel for a couple of nights. We had a private double without bathroom, it had a small double bed... more

It was a nice hostel, great bar and pool, the dormitory was very big with only 4 beds and it's only 10 dollars deposit for the key. But I would not recommend it: you need your electronic card (key) all the time, not only to enter your room but also to go to the pool, between floors and even in... more

this was an ok place. realy central location, clean, 24 hours staff, lots of facilities including pool and partying people. little bit noisy at night, bunks not great, and a little bit too expensive for what you get. more

Never encountered ruder staff in reception. Rooms tiny, bunks had paper thin mattresses. Bar and pool area ok but overall a terrible experience. more

we arrived in Darwin on a red eye flight, we did not pre book accomodation and the airport shuttle dropped us off opposite Melaleuca, they were the only place that was open at 0130am. We were put into a 4 bed dorm, the room was very comfortable and clean and no complaints for $22 per night. Pool was amazing place... more

This hotel was terrible. To begin, our reservation for a twin room was not honoured even though it was confirmed on line. Instead, we got a dorm room #2 near the busy lobby area. Despite our complaints, staff did NOTHING to try to help us obtain a more quiet room. The CONSTANT 24 hour noise (music, pool party atmosphere, loud... more

I had a really good time at Melaleuca on Mitchell in Darwin. As a single female travelling it was great. They had fermale only dorms, I was in a 6 bed dorm with air conditioning and lockers to store my backpack in. The hostel was clean, the kitchen does get messy but it is the backpackers who are not doing... more

What can I say Melaleuca is the only place for an amazing stay in Darwin. If you're not a backpacker don't stay here. There is a reasonable hotel next door. The is one of the best hostels in Australia and every backpacker should try make it to the top end. Spent a lot of time in Melaleuca on and off... more
