I thought Annies was by far the best hostel iv stayed in on my travels around oz, the atmosphere was amazing and the people where so friendly, Not to mention the helpful and beautiful staff :) They had great $7 meal deals and $12 dollar jugs of beer so nobody would go hungry or thirsty, great DJs on Saturday nights and live music on Sundays, also bingo and trivia during the week kept me well entertained :)

One of the funnest hostels I've been to! Met loads of great people. Awesome music and nights in the bar. Only downfall is the free wifi doesn't work in the rooms, but plenty of space in the communal area anyway.

Very funky place. It was amazing. I regret I stayed only a few days but Alice springs is a bit boring.

Great place to stay, friendly staff, great location, free breakfast, free airport transfer, free Wi-Fi all for just $20 a night. I've stayed here for over a week now and would recommend this hostel to anyone!

It was well run and staff were very helpful. They didn't even mind when the tour group I was with (mainly from the hostel) celebrated a bit too long after we got back from the tour to Uluru which was booked through the hostel's travel company. Another hostel where the worst part about the place was having to say goodbye.

The kitchen was really poorly equiped and very dirty. rooms and toilets are not the best, but ok. if you look for party, go there. otherwise stay away or you must not forget your oropax. extremly loud music nearly every night. and some of my clothe has been stolen from the clothesline.

LOVED the free wifi!!! Annie's is a lively place with a lot of young travellers. I met a lot of good people during my 3 night stay. Music gets pretty loud even on weeknights an the kitchen can get gross at times. But overall, good value for money.

Very friendly, sociable backpackers which is perfect for a base in Alice Springs. On top of that, really good value for money with $5 meals available. If anything, free WiFi is a detriment! It stops people talking to each other. My top tip - definitely book 'The Rock Tour' which they recommend - amazing three day tour and if you go with it, Annie's will give you your return night's stay free.

Don't book this hostel if you're counting on the free airport pickup - we arranged our pickup in advance but we spent over an hour and a half waiting at the airport until we finally got a taxi ($38) after 3 phone calls to the unapologetic and unhelpful staff at the reception desk. Other than this, the hostel itself was nice, cool bar and our room was very clean but a couple members of staff had poor customer service skilled, particularly the very rude bleached blonde English girl on reception.

We had a brilliant stay at Annie's Place, helpful staff and amazing $5 meals every night! Cool bar with cheap drinks and the locals were very friendly. Lovely pool and clean facilities. We would definitely recommend this place to any backpacker looking for somewhere cool to stay....happy travelling!

Excellent hostel. Some staff didnt have too much knowledge in regards to the Hostels facilities (eg Bike Hire) but apart from that a great place to stay. Highly recommended

Amazing fun place. Staff were happy and helpful. The bar is the best value in town with $5 meals (fantastic) $12 jugs of beer and cool music. We are there every night, didn't bother anywhere else because it is all happening at Annie's. Loved the free wi-fi and breakfast. Short walk to town and wished we had been able to stay a few days longer.

I had so much fun at this hostel! I met alot of people, the staff were very friendly and the bar was lots of fun. I have no complaints at all! And the $5 dinners were such good value for money and delicious. Would definitely recommend anybody to stay here.

Annies is a decent place to stay when in Alice Springs, but don't expect to much of it. Rooms are small, and everything looks quite old. Including the sheets, which have tears and stains. Showers and toilets are not clean. But there are definitely good points, like free wifi and free breakfast starting at 5 am (which is great if you are going on an Uluru tour). There is a nice bar / restaurant in the hostel, with quite good 5 dollar-meals. If you're not into the hygiene thing, AP is quite ok.

kitchen en surrounding of the pool were dirty. Maybe the result of Australia day but there was no activity of cleaning it. The private room had no fridge or TV
