This place was just great. They had really great rooms for the price we paid. Huge common area with couches, FREE internet, great kitchen, free luggage storage, and laundry area. The rooms weren't anything too special but were way nicer than most hostel stays. The best thing about the Desert Rose were the people in charge of running it. They... more

It didn't look like our stay would start very well when we came to check in and we were told that there was no room for us. Apparently the people staying in 'our' room decided to join a group from Melbourne Uni going on a trip thereby overstaying their booking. I was very impressed when the owner(?) had instead booked... more

The motel is good value for Alice Springs, and a good location, but the rooms are only basic and probably below average even for a budget motel. They have both ensuite rooms (with a bathroom, which I had) but also cheaper rooms that have shared bathrooms. I had a comfortable stay and the room was satisfactory, but the Comfort Inn... more

We stayed here for two nights. Coming from the dump we had stayed at in Darwin, this place seemed almost luxurious. The furnishings are a bit outdated but the room was clean and we had our own shower and fridge in the room. The toilets are shared and any room key opens the door, which could be a security threat.... more

I'd booked one of the budget ensuites, and it was situated overlooking the pool with a table and chairs outside too. The room was clean, quiet , with a fridge and tea/coffee and was exactly what I needed after a couple of... more

Four mature adults spent 3 nights at the Desert Rose; & we have only praise for the value for money that this busy accomadation provided. Add to this the fact that staff were incredibily helpful with advice on things to do & see - & the best way to achieve that! Congratulations to all at the Desert Rose! more

I stayed there with my friend during Easter break. The location is very central and convenient. We had a double room with a shower. The toilets were in the corridor (but that was not a problem). The guest kitchen was good, as well as the guest lounge. We used the pool to cool down : it is not very large,... more

I and my friend were living here in August 2005. The reception lady was very rude! We have stayed a few nights. But the warming system was broken! The machine created very loud noise in the middle of the nighit!!!!!!!!! We feared that the machine would explode so we had to switch it off. Terribly our room becomed so cold... more
