 "Frogshollow is a friendly hostel situated in a quiet street just outside the main city centre area but still within a short walk of all the action. The hostel is surrounded by tropical plants and has a lovely garden area with a pool, spa, and BBQ. There is a very relaxed atmosphere here. The facilities are good. There is a well-equipped kitchen (free light breakfast), internet access,...
 "Wilderness Lodge is located on Mitchell Street, Darwin's central street. It is close to the Darwin transportation center, but doesn't has it's own car parking. You can find it on the northern edge of Mitchell Street, short distance across the road from the Holiday Inn hotel. The lodge itself is clean with a big pool in the middle of it. Around the pool there is a lot of shaded sitting place...
 "Excellent accommodation, and well situated." … "Just perfect. This without a doubt is the best hostel in Darwin. It is sterile looking but it is worth it. It's clean and tidy. There are two pools, which I don't think I could get cleaner if I cleaned them myself — they were spotless. The mattresses have a waterproof cover — great for preventing bed bugs. Deposits for sheets and keys and...
 "The Banyan View Lodge is located on the fringe of Darwin city centre. It is approximately fifteen minutes' walk from the Greyhound bus stop. They don't offer a courtesy pickup. If you travel by train, a paying shuttle bus will pick you up but you will need to book in advance. Banyan View Lodge has forty-six rooms with air conditioning or a fan -- you have the choice of dorms with four...
 "Chilli's Backpackers is in a great position on Mitchell Street where the majority of shops, bars and restaurants are located. You can see it from the transit centre where the Greyhound and airport shuttle buses drop off. The double rooms are clean and have a small fridge, sink and lockable cupboards in them, but they do feel rather claustrophobic. The shared toilet and shower blocks are...
 "I stayed at Gecko's several times, back in 2003 and 2004. Excellent place. A very good atmosphere! Real fresh filter coffee in the mornings with thin baked pancakes from the barbie. Good on ya mate! I stayed at several hostels durring my travels, but only a few of them I could call my home. Gecko Lodge is definitely my homeplace wen I get back to Darwin in 2007. People that complain about a...
 "It's OK I guess - was being done up when I was there in Feb 05 so might be a lot nicer now - pool was being replaced. Darwin is humid and steamy so the aircon is a necessity. The bar next door is nice and has good food. 4 bed dorms were quite scruffy but fine to sleep in - sheets were clean. The attached bathrooms are a bit whiffy and dated but no worse than your average hostel - service was a...
 "This was the best hostel! I was there for three weeks. The rooms all have twenty-four-hour aircon and an electric fan. There's a great swimming pool. You can book your trips with them with no pressure and normally get a better deal than elsewhere. The staff are friendly and the place has a great atmosphere, especially when everyone jumps in the pool fully clothed after a great night out! It's...
 "Not recommended - I was in a four-bed en-suite. the only positive thing I have to say is that the room was spacious and had air-con (that you could only use at night). Nothing was clean -- the bed, the bathroom, the fridge, the pool. It's also a bit of a maze. Stay somewhere else, you have plenty of choices in Darwin." … Located in the heart of the Northern Territory's tropical capital,...
 "Globetrotters Lodge Darwin is one of the many backpackers along Mitchell Street, Darwin's main street. It's located closer to the northern edge of Mitchell Street. There is some parking just beside the building, and usually you will be able to find a place. If you're arriving by bus, the Globetrotters is easily just five minutes walk from Darwin transportation center. To find this place, just...
 "Elkes Inner City Backpackers Lodge is located on Mitchell Street just past the Stuart Highway, about five to ten minutes from the main group of hostels and stores further up the street. In the opposite direction you can find the seasonal Mindil Beach night markets, the museum, and so on. Elkes isn't the perfect backpackers, but it does try to make you feel welcome. The reception area is...
"The YMCA of Darwin is ideally located within the City of Darwin, with magnificent views of the harbour and surrounds. The hostel is surrounded on three sides by lush tropical gardens and the habour on the fourth side. We are only a five minute walk from the centre of the city and all that Darwin has to offer. We have a tour desk that is updated weekly and friendly, helpful staff. Relax in...
 "The sheets were clean and the bed was reasonably comfy, but apart from that it was a bit of a hole! Small pokey room with no real windows, in a dead and kind of dodgy part of town, definitely not worth $72." … "We are a budget hotel in the heart of Darwin city. We are situated opposite to the Post Office and within 2 minutes' walk from the Mall and major supermarkets and restaurants. Each...
