After travelling through Australia for 4 month we got stuck in kathrin with a broken car and my boyfriend got very sick. Therefore we had to find a place where he could stay with his 40degrees of temperature. This is how we came to the Palm Court Hostel. We were very lucky to get the last doubleroom (rest fully outbooked)... More

The older reviews are really bad. But the newer ones are good. This is thanks to a new management. I have stayed there for more than 4 weeks and it was an amazing place. The new management put a lot of effort in it to make it a better place and they were quite successful. It have good equipped double... More

After traveling around a Australia for the past 6 months, this would have to be the worst place I have stayed. Nothing is clean, the staff are more concerned about facebook & sending texts. I don't mind ruffing it, but I would expect this to be hostel at least clean. The location is great, close to the shopping center, was... More

Avoid this hotel. The price is about 90$ for a room without air conditionner (and somehow it's better seeing the age of this machine). You share the room with many cockroaches... The reception is holding by a girl who don't care about people. For 10$ more you could have a proper room and have a good sleep ! Don't hesitate... More

My partner and I stayed here out of necessity and afterwards reflected that we would have preferred to spend the night sitting up at the 24 hour McDonald's in town. We arrived in Katherine at around 9 p.m. after deciding we didn't want to stay at the awful-looking Mataranka Homestead Resort, and the one good thing I will say about... More

Place stinks. Rooms are miserable - really. I have photos to prove it. I paid 25AUD for a night in 10 bed mixed dorm. There are lockers there but there are no keys for them. They overcharged me selling bus ticket (return) to Katherine Gorges for another 25AUD. If you're backpacker you're massively better off booking accommodation with Nitmiluk National... More

I advise you to stay there if you are looking for a budget accommodation in Katherine. We went there three times and stayed one night each time, in between excursions. The staff (two cool hippy mature guys) was really great, very helpful and friendly, and remembered us. On the last day they told us we could still use the kitchen... More

I stayed in this hostel two nights when exploring the Katherine Gorge. It is a former motel, with some rooms converted to dorms. I stayed in a double room (which could actually sleep 3 people) and we had our own fridge, bathroom and TV. The room itself was a bit worn but overall it was OK. The guest kitchen could... More
