It was a nice hostel, great bar and pool, the dormitory was very big with only 4 beds and it's only 10 dollars deposit for the key. But I would not recommend it: you need your electronic card (key) all the time, not only to enter your room but also to go to the pool, between floors and even in... more

this was an ok place. realy central location, clean, 24 hours staff, lots of facilities including pool and partying people. little bit noisy at night, bunks not great, and a little bit too expensive for what you get. more

Never encountered ruder staff in reception. Rooms tiny, bunks had paper thin mattresses. Bar and pool area ok but overall a terrible experience. more

we arrived in Darwin on a red eye flight, we did not pre book accomodation and the airport shuttle dropped us off opposite Melaleuca, they were the only place that was open at 0130am. We were put into a 4 bed dorm, the room was very comfortable and clean and no complaints for $22 per night. Pool was amazing place... more

This hotel was terrible. To begin, our reservation for a twin room was not honoured even though it was confirmed on line. Instead, we got a dorm room #2 near the busy lobby area. Despite our complaints, staff did NOTHING to try to help us obtain a more quiet room. The CONSTANT 24 hour noise (music, pool party atmosphere, loud... more

I had a really good time at Melaleuca on Mitchell in Darwin. As a single female travelling it was great. They had fermale only dorms, I was in a 6 bed dorm with air conditioning and lockers to store my backpack in. The hostel was clean, the kitchen does get messy but it is the backpackers who are not doing... more

What can I say Melaleuca is the only place for an amazing stay in Darwin. If you're not a backpacker don't stay here. There is a reasonable hotel next door. The is one of the best hostels in Australia and every backpacker should try make it to the top end. Spent a lot of time in Melaleuca on and off... more

Found this hostel to be really overpriced but I think it might just be Darwin in general. Location was very good though. Stayed in a 6 bed dorm which was a quite small room, really nowhere to move or unpack when fully occupied, the room had air con & a fan + lockers. A friend stayed in a 4 bed... more

We stayed in an air-conditioned ensuite room in Melaleuca on Mitchell and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to be in the centre of the action - really near some great bars, restaurants and icecream cafes. Their website is easy to use and book; the desk staff were friendly; it was really close to where our Kakadu tour left;... more
