STRONGLY NOT RECOMMENDED! I chose this hostel to be my sleeping place before my next flight. My flight reached DRW Airport around 02. 30 am and I reached this hostel around 03. 00 am. When I arrived, the hostle manager, elder lady, she was going out. She told me that she'll be back after she arranged the checking in for the guys at Chilis Backpacker. I stood there 15 mins, then she's back and I waited another 15 mins. She said that I should call her before. Is it necessary I already booked it and fwd confirmation message to them. When I reached at the 2nd floor of the dorm, the bad smell was coming out. The room is untidy, probably, the two girls have been there for a long time. They were chatting and chatting. It was my bad night!

Initially the employees did not seem to friendly. but the next days they seem to be better. Location is good. Nice massive kitchen. A massive marketplace just 2 minutes walk away. In case you need to book any tours go to Kakadu dreams. they have the really best prices and a warm and friendly and entertaining guide named Joey. this is not advertisement, this is my personal opinion :)

Box standard hostel, no soul but nice pool. Warm and friendly staff.

The hostel itself is fine, however the staff were, at times, awful. I think the hostel itself is over-capacitated so the staff are too busy at peak times. I had to take my laundry to a neighbouring hostel because one particular member of staff was 'too busy' to change my money for the machines. On the plus side the location is good.
