7.2/10 Good! (20 reviews)
Pretty bare bones as far as hostel accommodations go, but it was definitely the most affordable accommodation in Yulara. The female dorms were well-kept, and the other visitors were courteous as well (no loud music or noise at night). The bathrooms and washrooms were clean enough, and staff were friendly. Definitely the best option if you are traveling solo (and on a budget) as it provides great access to activities without breaking the bank.
