Liked: Staff were nice,
Disliked: Most things really - Noisy, Expensive, Cockroach in my room, had to pay for Wiifi, No free tea or coffee. Basically this hostel is what it says on the tin... a "Youth Shack" with mouthy, drunk people staying up all hours.

Liked: STRONGLY NOT RECOMMENDED!!I chose this hostel to be my sleeping place before my next flight.My flight reached DRW Airport around 02.30 am and I reached this hostel around 03.00 am. When I arrived, the hostle manager, elder lady, she was going out. She told me that she'll be back after she arranged the checking in for the guys at Chilis Backpacker. I stood there 15 mins, then she's back and I waited another 15 mins. She said that I should call her before. Is it necessary? I already booked it and fwd confirmation message to them. When I reached at the 2nd floor of the dorm, the bad smell was coming out. The room is untidy, probably, the two girls have been there for a long time. They were chatting and chatting.It was my bad night!

Liked: Initially the staff did not seem to friendly...but the next days they seem to be better..Location is good...Nice big kitchen....A big supermarket just 2 minutes walk away....If you need to book any tours go to Kakadu dreams...they have the best prices and a friendly and entertaining guide named Joey...this is not advertisement,,,this is my personal opinion :)

Liked: The hostel itself is fine, however the staff were, at times, awful. I think the hostel itself is over-capacitated so the staff are too busy at peak times. I had to take my laundry to a neighbouring hostel because one particular member of staff was 'too busy' to change my money for the machines. On the plus side the location is good.
