No lockers, the kitchen was not clean. Breakfast is really good.

I had verry low expectations coming to Darwin having heard that most hostels were below standard but I was more than pleasently surprised. The Dingo is a great place to relax after sweaty days exploring the top end of Australia. The Pool in the courtyard is a welcome plus and the large outdoor kitchen is well equipped for a hostel, the vibe is friendly and verry communal. The laundy facilitys are FREE. Would absolutley stay again.

The two owners of the hostel were lovely and very welcoming. The free breakfast was amazing, the best free breakfast I've had in a hostel and well worth staying here! Pancake, heaps of fresh fruit, cereal, english muffins, jam, peanut butter, nutella (any hostel providing free Nutella is a-okay in my book!) tea, coffee etc. The rooms were small, but nice and cool. Bathrooms were okay and kitchen was generally clean. Location was great, really close to shops and only a 15 min walk to lagoon!

The location was great, straight on to Mitchell Street however the showers were filthy and the bins in the toilets were always over flowing which was a bit off putting.

It's the worst hostel that i have been in Australia, dirty, messy, there aren't rules and the people is unrespectful. In my opinion, is expensive compared with the others hostels that have the same services. I absolutly don't recommend it.

The only thing that i'm unhappy is that the hostel doesn't have TV!!!! for the price we pay.. a tv could be GREAT!!! for all the rest, is very nice. :)

They promised me a ride to a place out of the city centre and told me to wait, but even though I waited for hours they didn't keep their promise.

Probably one of the better backpackers in Darwin, but that's not saying much. It's fine, but definitely overpriced. The free breakfast is nice, though.
