thief,dirty, dodgy,unfriendly, far from the town,,,etc - no worth to pay. As the room we booked was disgusting, we paid to upgrade. When we moved to new room, my husband left his wedding ring in the old room and a housekeeper tried to steal it! Also new room was just slightly better and no worth to pay. the worst backpacker... more

We are a family of 4 & stayed in the budget motel section...it was very basic, very old....but ok (it is not 4 - 5 star!). I would not rave about it but when we were out all day we did not want to spend big money on accommodation....for our family it was ok. The room was large with a... more

We stayed in Toddy's for 2 days plus 1 day in room with bath room in it. It was prepaid booking and we paid decent money. Out of this 2 days, one day was Sunday and they do not service the room on Sundays but charge full. We had worse experience we ever had. We stayed in similar star hotel... more

I am a solo female backpacker, and have stayed in several awful hostels/hotels. However, this one really sank to new lows; the kitchen was an absolute disgrace, there appeared to be 2 female showers between 100 people and there were no locks on the shower doors, just a curtain between you and the rest of the world. There was no... more

I have been travelling around the Australia for 8 months, i have never wrote a bad review about a hostel yet, until now!!

We stayed in a 2 bed room with share kitchenette and bathroom. We had a car so getting to and from accom. wasn't a problem. Did notice a... more

We stayed in a twin ensuite motel room costing $73 AUD a night. While the room facilities were fine, the beds were a joke, with a thin mattress (probably about 10cm thick) through which you could feel the metal bed frame. I have stayed at many hostels and these were the most uncomfortable beds I can remember. We cancelled the... more

I was so happy to travel around around Alice Spring. However, my travel agency was horrible, gave us wrong information, and lead us miss the flight back to sydney. I tried to phone this agency-Wanderers Travel, but the answer is that they cannot do anything for us and we have to pay for the new tickets. (actually they didn't give... more
