Very sociable and helpful staff. However there are plastic sheets over the matress which isn't the best in a 40 degree heat!Very sociable and helpful staff. However there are plastic sheets over the matress which isn't the best in a 40 degree heat!...Close

Kitchen too small and too hot. And who the hell come up with idea to give you plates, mug + fork/kinfe/spoon only after paying deposit! That should be in the kitchen! One last thing. All floor kinda dirty. I saw cleaners just puring water but they need real scrubbing! Kitchen too small and too hot.

The Poolarea on the roof is awesome. Unfortunately do they clean the bathrooms and the tablearea, in the morning at 9am, when it's the busiest time. But that's a problem in whole Australia. Good for partying and in the end it's the best hostel in Darwin. The Poolarea on the roof is awesome.

I was in a female dorm and it was spacious and clean. It was great to have lockers to put your stuff in if you were staying for a while! The kitchen was big and spacious and the out door area is great. The bathrooms were a bit too hot though and maybe could do with some fans or air conditioning! Otherwise I had a brilliant stay and recommend Melaleuca on Mitchell highly and it definitely was one of the best hostels I\'ve stayed in in Australia!I was in a female dorm and it was spacious and clean.
