It's a nice hostel in the center of the town, a supermarket is right next to it and all the other locations (lagoon, beach etc.) are also close. Was good enough for me to stay a few days more :) There are also many things to do in their bar, for example cheap drinks, BBQ, ...

I didn't like this hostel at all. Location was very good, but otherwise I would not recommend. Overall outlook was not clean, bathrooms were crappy and partly broken. Room (4 bed mixed dorm) was very small and in the first room the air condition did not work properly. Very small pool (2 of them) and the pool area was also... More

I stayed here last week with one of my friends on our way to Kakadu. Location was really good, right in the centre of town, next to the shops and on the same street as the resteraunts and bars. They didnt have their own bar on premises but that meant that it was quieter than others. However, we could use... More

This place is to avoid. Kitchen is empty, you can barely cook in there and wine or other alcohol is forbidden. Full time staff is unfriendly and unhelpful. But the worst of all is that the place is full of bed bugs and you will not get any money back from them. As a good point, people staying there are... More

Arrived in chillis yesterday and its slap bang in the middle of town. Bed is comftable, free food in the mornings and staff are friendly. You can chill out in the pool next door too. Toilets are and showers are clean so far. Worth a look

With four bunks to a good sized room with lockable cupboards for your valuables, with air cons and fans and fresh linen. The cleaners go above and beyond expectations,... More

I booked Chilli's on a whim having read no reviews but their website said you would be refunded your airport shuttle ticket if you stayed for 3 nights so this was basically the drawcard. I stayed in a 4 bedroom dorm for $28p/n (standard rate in Darwin) so minus the airport shuttle it was only about $24 night (not bad... More
