Really amazing hostel with a great manager Max, who makes you feel very welcome and comfortable! The hostel itself is right next to the city center but just these 3 minutes walking away, so you can enjoy a silent sleep. The pool and whole hostel atmosphere makes you feel like you’re in Hawaii or some exotic place, I had a truly fabulous time there!! :)

SimoneTravelers with friends - 9.6Scored 9.6ExceptionalRated exceptional· 108 reviewsVery well equipped kitchen. Clean. Comfy. Had bread, butter, milk and condiments supplied! Even a couple beers and a bottle of wine which was a lovely surprise 😮. Great location, good for kids with pools, enclosed swimming, Ping pong, and basketball court in the precinct. Great bars and cafes, security patrolled at night and I felt very safe.GrangerSolo traveler
- Avg. price/night: $204.858.1Scored 8.1Very GoodRated very good· 1,674 reviewsLoved it here. Booked last minute after a bad hostel experience (“Cozy Hostel” - do not recommend). Staff here were friendly and helpful, price was good, rooms were beautiful, beds were extremely comfy and big, pools were nice. Location: sometimes felt a little unsafe outside of the gates at night but overall very good location. Would highly recommend and would stay here again

Like a normal busy backpacker hostel, bedrooms are busy and not the cleanest, bunk beds aren't he most comfortable but okay. Kitchen is quite usable with some free fridge space. Laundry was easily usable. Bathroom was spacious and clean.Linda LiisSolo traveler
- Avg. price/night: $209.498.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 2,517 reviewsI wanted budget accommodation, that was not a hostel or anything with shared facilities. Argus was not only the cheapest at this next level, but included basic breakfast each morning, and the room was superb for this budget price. Also all staff I interacted with (both front counter, breakfast bar, and cleaning), were fantastic and could not be more happy to assist me as needed.
TonySolo traveler - 6.2Scored 6.2PleasantRated pleasant· 218 reviewsBest location if you are there for a good night in Darwin! Very cheap hostel and the pool area was nice to relax around! I liked that I could leave my luggage behind. My belongings felt safe there and there was plenty of space in the kitchen
