“Neat & tidy property with secure access & convenient location. Pool & kitchen were clean too.”
Very central location, the place was neat and tidy, and the staff were really accommodating. It ticks all the boxes for location, security. having a pool on hot day was amazing. Rooms very clean and tidy and guests staying were very friendly too though my stay was short.

This is a simple but efficient and clean hostel located right in the middle of Alice Springs and only a 10 minute walk from the Greyhound bus stop The staff are friendly and welcoming, and I would stay here again if in Alice Springs.

“Short stay but sweet!”
YHA was simple but comfortable. There was a high level of cleanliness and the check in, check out and everything in between was smooth. They also supported our hike of the Larapinta with food drops and transfers. Having everything in one spot was great. Also close to all the action!

“Meh. Warm room. Good location. Staff not great.”
Heating in rooms - was lovely and toasty In theory the check in system would work really well especially if you could activate it without any staff input that would be ideal. Great kitchen Great location
