Great location

I had arrived in Darwin with a female companion the night before and stayed in another hostel, but it was absolutely horrendous, so we decided to move. I'm glad we did.

Apparently they don't always let men stay, but because I was with a female it wasn't a problem.

We shared a dorm room with two young guys, who were very well behaved. The dorm consisted of two bunks and lthough it was basic, it was clean and had air conditioning. The overall condition of the hostel was basic, but well maintained and clean.

The kitchen is well sized, clean and had all the facilties we needed.

I would stay here again if I return to Darwin.

A Good Stay With Basic Facilities

This was a functional, basic, budget place for a one night stop over. The room was OK, clean, good air-conditioner. Decor could do with a freshen up. The kitchen looked clean and well-equipped, There's no wi-fi - you can get internet access free on two communal computers. It was quiet, secure and well-located.

Basic, clean, well-managed hostel

Despite is a good place to stay in Darwin, the House Supervisor is a person difficult to deal with.
Tanya Hawkins was so rude with us. She sadly ignores what hospitality and client service means...:'(

Good place but terrible and unpleasant manager behaviour

Coming from a party hostel this was refreshing, staff were nice, facilities were average, I really liked the 3 bed dorm it was clean and quiet, bad points that are EASILY fixed by management, $20 for a plate deposit is rediculous 4 of us wanted to eat so they asked for $80,the promised free internet is one computer in the common room, I would of though wifi was a standard thing now, the place is nice you just need to have a re think on things

Not that bad a place

We stayed at Banyan View Lodge for one night after returning from a nine-day tour of the Kimbleys in Darwin. This was of course a culture shock, but the lodge was very functional for us (we washed all our laundry in a short time and were then travel-ready again...) and it is not in the middle of the partyzone on Mitchell Street. We had a separate room at the end of the hall and back, so it was very quiet.

Functional

We stayed two nights because we stayed out at the Kakadu Park, the truth is that it is a quiet hotel, especially a hotel for students and young people, there are shared or individual rooms, we stayed in the individual and without problems, leisure areas around and with information to do activities.

Normal Normal

I certainly do not demand from a hostel who knows what minimum standards of services and cleanliness are, but what this facility offers is not to say indecent. A negative experience certainly, think about it well before you go, it costs little, but it is better to spend a little more and be comfortable than to seem like you are in a nightmare!

♪ From a nightmare ♪

Normally, I'm not happy with anything, but at $35 a night, you could expect more than a backpack like this one: the kitchen and its equipment have certainly not been maintained since the inn was built in the 1970s, toilets with no doors and common areas left to be abandoned... Oh, it was only for two nights.

I'm not going to lie!

We stayed in Darwin for two nights. One in this hotel, and the other in another hotel. Our night cost us $90. It was nevertheless quite cold in my back seeing the reviews of the different travelers who stayed in the city. Virtually all reviews are very negative. After those two days, I can say that it is justified. If you want a nice, clean and well-received hotel: you have to put the price. Our night cost us $90. It is not given, however.
