**BUG Review**
Banyan View scores well on cleanliness and the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms are in good shape. Big mirrors and windows make the air-conditioned (or fan-cooled for the cheapest rooms) dorms and double rooms feel spacious. The TV lounge is comfy and internet access is free (a rarity in Darwin) and the outdoor area has a barbecue, swimming pool and a nice spa pool. Banyan View is a part of the YWCA and there is an institutional feel that comes with being run by a large organisation. Party animals might look elsewhere though, it seems like alcohol is more accepted than encouraged. The hostel has a room full of toys for the little ones so the doors are obviously open for families.

Dorm bed $21-25 (dry season); $19-23 (wet season)

Chilli’s Backpackers is conveniently located next to the Greyhound transit centre, and lots of plants green up the exterior of the building. There are nice open-air common areas on the balcony and the dorms are clean and in fairly good shape with proper inner-spring mattresses, but the overall maintenance could be better (especially the bathrooms). Like most hostels in Darwin, there is internet access plus a kitchen and laundry facilities. There are two spa pools on the rear deck and guests can cool down in the swimming pool at Youth Shack, just up the road.

**BUG Review**
Darwin YHA is really an old motel-turned-hostel, with drive-in parking right outside the dorms. There are fridges in the rooms (another leftover from the motel-era), a swimming pool, and a good TV lounge. The excellent bar is the social centre of the hostel but the hostel isn’t so lively when the bar is closed. Although the cleanliness is acceptable, the maintenance is below average, although the building is slowly undergoing a renovation. There are no lockers, which could be an issue for travellers with expensive gadgets.

Dorm bed $33.50-37 ($30-33.50 HI/YHA) dry season; $21-24 ($18.50-21.50 HI/YHA) wet season

The lush green outdoor area makes Elke’s an attractive hostel. Thanks to the newly-renovated dorms, toilets and kitchen, Elke’s feels clean and well maintained. In addition to the kitchen, you’ll find a swimming pool, laundry facilities, barbecue and a decent TV lounge. The dormitories are air-conditioned, which is essential in Darwin. Overall Elke’s is a nice place - especially if you’re looking for a peaceful atmosphere.

The hostel is painted half-and-half in pink and green, and the building looks good with its wooden balcony, which is a nice place to eat your home-made meals - a well-equipped kitchen is available for use. We found a pretty unclean and badly maintained bathroom when we visited, but the kitchen and the dorms are at an acceptable level. Lockers are available, so are board games and a swimming pool.

**BUG Review**
Gecko Lodge is a small and fairly worn-out hostel with 30 dorm-beds to offer. It’s not the cleanest hostel in Darwin. However, there’s certainly a laid-back atmosphere with a family-feel in the mellow hostel with comfy old sofas, a small kitchen and accompanying seating area that makes it an easy place to socialise with fellow travellers. The maintenance could certainly be better, but to some the pancake breakfast might make up for it. Outdoors there is a nice swimming pool and barbecue area. Bicycles are for rent for just $12 a day.

This small hostel caters primarily to backpackers working in Darwin. It is relatively clean but has basic facilities that include a small kitchen and a nice outdoor TV lounge. It’s the cheapest place to stay in Darwin so it is a good choice if you’re on a tight budget.

**BUG Review**
The Mandorah Beach Hotel has great value accommodation with a beautiful beachfront setting across the harbour from Darwin. Accommodation is in basic, but spacious, four-bed dorms with en suite bathrooms. It features a large swimming pool, beach volleyball and an area with video games and pool tables. There is also a restaurant with good value meals and a 24-hour bar. It is a very relaxing place to stay. The hostel is best reached by ferry from Cullen Bay in Darwin. The ferry costs $18 return or $55 for a weekly pass.

**BUG Review**
Melaleuca on Mitchell is a new purpose-built hostel right in the hubbub of Mitchell Street’s nightlife. It feels surprisingly worn around the edges for a building that’s only a few years old, but it is still a top choice. Accommodation is in clean air-conditioned rooms with a locker for each bed but some travellers find the plastic mattresses a bit uncomfortable. The main focus of the hostel is the open-air common area upstairs that feature a bar, TV area, swimming pool and spa pool. There are also kitchen and laundry facilities. All things considered it is Darwin’s best budget accommodation option.

The Cavenagh is centred on a big swimming pool. It has two levels of accommodation that could be better maintained with a basic kitchen and shabby bathrooms. The accommodation contrasts sharply with the flash bar and restaurant that is complete with modern furniture, flat screen TVs and cheap beer-and-burger combos. There are also laundry facilities and internet access including Wi-Fi ($6 per hour, Global Gossip).

Youth Shack is a relatively good hostel that has a big kitchen, TV lounge, pool table and a big air-conditioned lobby with internet access including Wi-Fi ($6 per hour, Global Gossip Connect). There is also a nice swimming pool that attracts guests from the affiliated Chilli’s Backpackers just up the road. Although the swimming pool area has the potential to be a sociable spot, the no-alcohol rule keeps a lid on the hostel’s atmosphere.

Hoi,
ik ben op zoek naar een leuke en goede accommodatie in Darwin waar ik wat bij kan komen van mijn jetlag>>>. Na veel gespeur op internet kom ik niet echt geweldige hostels tegen (als ik de reviews op tripadvisor lees). Heeft iemand een goede tip???

Deze komt er niet slecht uit. Je kunt er koken, internetten, zwembadje. Wat wil je nog meer voor 2/3 dagen. EN je kunt altijd kort boeken en daarna zelf even rondkijken of je wat aders tegen komt.
Wat mag het kosten?
tot 50 euro per nacht ongeveer…
-lol- Dan kan ik je helaas niet helpen…
Wel een paar links:

www.frogs-hollow.com.au
www.banyanviewlodge.com.au
www.parklodgesnt.com

www.chillis.com.au
Ik hoop dat ze nog werken. Heb ze niet gechecked.
Yeehaw
Ja die heb ik ook allemaal op tripadvisor gezien. Misschien ga ik het nog via priceline of hotwire proberen om goedkoop een hotel te krijgen, maa daarvoor is het nu nog denk ik te vroeg.
Staan er geen goede hostels aanbevolen in de lonely planet?
Er staan precies dezelfde bij. Heb na lang zoeken een alternatief gevonden. Luxe accommodatie, wel op de luchthaven (http://www.darwinairportinn.com.au/). Daar bieden ze duurdere dorms (AUD 69) aan, maar misschien niet verkeerd als ik om 4.20 uur land om daar een of twee nachtjes te verblijven. Krijgt ook goede recensies op tripadvisor: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g255066-d1201499-Reviews-Darwin_Airport_Inn-Darwin_Top_End_Northern_Territory.html. Beetje verwennerij mag toch af en toe, ook al ben ik backpacker… (met een goed budget).
Wat denken jullie?
Ik denk: verstandig! Dat kleine prijsverschil maakt op zo’n reis toch ook niets uit. Vliegtuig uit, bed in, volgende dag kopje koffie maken op je kamer, ontbijt, dobberen in het zwembad en denken: goeie start van de reis. Daarna “aan het werk” en kamers voor andere prijzen zoeken.

Geweldig zo’n forum! Bedankt voor alle tips! Dat beetje geld maakt inderdaad ook niet uit. Goed bed, mooi zwembad, schone accommodatie en lekker eten is wel aangenaam na zo’n tijd vliegen!
Overigens tip voor jullie dat Priceline en Hotwire voor als je er niet bekend mee bent! Met name USA of rondom luchthavens in Europa al meerdere malen leuke deals gescoord!
Gr. Anita
In Darwin heb je een redelijk groot en behulpzaam Visitor Center. Ik dacht op Knuckey of Bennet street.
Daar kunnen ze o.a. alle hotels, jeugdherbergen, etc. van Darwin e.o voor je reserveren. Ik geloof zelfs in heel NT.
Ook kun je daar terecht voor tours (als je dat zou willen doen), gratis plattegronden en weet ik veel wat voor informatie nog meer.
Alvast een hele mooie reis toegewenst.
