Spent one night there and found it comfortable and friendly. Excessed the alcohol a little in Monsoon and missed my 5:30am pick up for Adventure Tours. Up stepped the Scottish guy at reception to get me out of a right tight spot. Can't thank him enough. More

I stayed at the M.O.M for 6 nights during December. Had a private ensuited room. The beds were extremely uncomfortable, and the rooms were really hot, unless you slept on the top bunk and got some of the fan, but this was almost impossible as the closer you slept to the air con the louder it got! I slept with... More

We spent two nights in a double room at MoM before moving to the Vibe on the waterfront for our last night.

If you're 18 yrs old and loud and brash, then this is the place for you! If you'd prefer to get some sleep and actually be able to cook a meal in the communal kitchen, then I'd recommend you choose somewhere else. It seems a lot of people live here permanently whilst working in Darwin, so it's always busy. The... More

This place is super tidy and has a great outdoor deck. However the kitchen is crowded, and the only place to socialize is at the bar which can be expensive! Doesn't have any character More
