Stayed for four nights and found it very loud as it is quite a party place plus way too expensive. The rooms are good and new but the bathrooms are quite filthy with tabs running all the time because you cannot turn them off properly and missing a/c or fan in the bathrooms. Staff was almost nice and helpful all... More

As far as hostels go, this is one of the better ones. Rubber mattresses mean no bed bugs, modern, lockers in rooms, nice pool and bar on the rooftop so nice views. Great location. Sometimes free meal vouchers. Down side? Price. Way too expensive. Fridge not emptied often enough.

We stayed 1 week on this hostel during the last wet season. The room are like nearly all the backpackers hostel in Australia. Depends of the people in the room. Our Air con was leaking, so every morning we had a swimming pool on the room! But the bar area is really nice, with happy hour on the evening. 1... More

For me Melaleuca was a bad choice. I arrived in Darwin after a 27 hour journey from Germany and just needed some sleep. The rooms were quite clean. The stocks beds in the dorm room were creaky and much too short for a 1,86m person. Even lying in a diagonal angle wasn't enough. Every room has lockers. Kitchen was in... More

Our group checked into two en-suite rooms. The first smelled so much of mold that it was impossible to remain in the room for more than two seconds. The same room also had an air conditioning unit that made a loud drone. The staff did allow this room to be changed. Our room did not initially have the same moldy... More

I live in the NT and just needed a night in Darwin. Thought I'd try MOM as it's in a really handy and great location but boy- from the second I stepped into the reception office one staff member made it hell. A total jerk.. I simply queried why the online rate i paid was more than the desk one... More

The rooms are disgusting! If you set the temperature on an acceptable level the floor becomes wet because of the humidity and everything becomes dirty. When the staff sees that they tell you that you need to make it ice cold or they will throw you out of the hostel if you don't. The nights are terrible because of that.... More

As soon as we checked in we had problems. Booked in a private quad share, but we were split up. Once I got into the room it was appalling, it looked like someone had been living in there for months, clothes everywhere and not a clean bed in site. Having complained to the reception I was then downgraded to a... More

Great location, nice and friendly staff, clean bathrooms and toilets, the laundry services. Nice private rooms but the beds are not so comfortable. I needed a taxi to the airport and there wasn't any problems. I can recommend Melaleuca!
