Me and my boyfriend stayed at asylum for about a week when we very first arrived in australia. The hostel is in a good location, pretty close to everything. They advertise themselves as a social place and it definately is. we met loads of outgoing friendly people.We didn't really get the full experience though because we were trying to get... More

I was lucky, I stayed there just after they brought new mattresses for every room at the beginning of January 2013. It only cost 15 dollars a night if you stay there for one week and the accommodation is just good! Good beds, linen, staff, showers and kitchen. The toilet was sometimes dirty (especially in the evening) but mainly clean.... More

We stayed at Asylum for four nights and found our time there comfortable and relaxed. The staff were great, they make you feel at home straight away. As in other reviews, it is a party hostel so don't come here if you're expecting some peace and quiet. The outside area is really sociable and free WiFi is a bonus. Our... More

I was planning on staying for couple of nights at Asylum because this place has been recommended through friends. The Staff was really good except this Arabic Cleaner guy who sold me weed for 50 $ and it was not even enough for 2 smoke. I try to tell him to get me back my money because this was obviously...

We stayed at Asylum for a few days over New Years. Firstly the staff are fantastic! They're all extremely friendly and willing to help, simple things such as remembering 'inmates' names go such a long way. They also gave us advice on the best spots to visit, aswell as giving us a deal were we got a reef tour (Falla... More

I stayed here for one night on a Monday purely to go the Mad Monday party and it was great. Everyone from the hostel goes on a massive pub crawl and everyone has an Asylum t-shirt on. Its really fun and great for meeting new people. The hostel itself is fine, pretty basic but not as dirty as some reviews... More

We have stayed at asylum previously and currently now live pretty close to the hostel. This is a fun filled environment which will never fail in finding new friends. They are renowned for been a party hostel, but I disagree with this title, they are relaxed, comfortable , close to town and know how to have a good time without... More

I stayed here for only 2 night as I was flying to Darwin afterwards. It was a pretty nice place, but much more suited to people who are into partying all week. I arrived on Tuesday, which is like the big Asylum night out. The room was pretty cluttered, with people leaving their stuff all over the place. But on... More

My girlfriend and I booked in for 3 nights here (our first 3 nights in upon entering Australia). We booked here as it was easily the cheapest place we could find after searching on Hostel World and Hostel Bookers. It said it was a party hostel and it certainly lived up to its word. Although we’re not exactly looking for... More
