First of all, it was very clean because it was renewed. Nevertheless, due to the local characteristics of Darwin, I saw insects in the room on the first day, but when I told the office, I cleaned them and put them in the room.
Locationally, there was a mindil sunset market within walking distance and cbd was not too far away.
Although I inquired about the check-out rate due to the flight, I was disappointed about the part that cost $30 an hour, but other than that, it was generally a satisfactory visit.
The room was quite spacious, but it was very noisy upstairs. You should report any noise issues to the front desk promptly. The breakfast was good and the place was very clean. It's a 10-minute walk to Crocosaurus Cove, where you can experience the Cage of Death and try crocodile burgers. You can also hike to Darwin Harbour to see the WWII Memorial and visit the Mindil Beach Sunset Market on Thursdays and Sundays for food, which is about a 20-minute walk away.
We had a fantastic stay at The Lost Camel Hotel. The atmosphere was quiet and cozy, making it the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. The location is excellent, close to everything you need around Yulara.
The service was outstanding, with staff who were always friendly, welcoming, and happy to help. Dining was also a highlight—Geckos and Ayers Wok both offered delicious food that really made the stay even more enjoyable.
Overall, The Lost Camel Hotel exceeded my expectations. A comfortable stay, great service, and an ideal location—I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
100% recommend this place! The staff is simply amazing and kind. The guy at the reception which we assume to be the manager was so helpful and accommodating. The room was nice and we liked the new decoration ! Please do yourself a favor and come stay at this place. Also loved the private parking, helped us to sleep better knowing our car is secured.
we enjoyed a lot our stay in Desert Palms, cosy bungalows, walking distance from city, good pool, very friendly, helpful and welcoming staff. It is great the bungalows have a kitchenette well equiped. Beds could be better but overall we sleep well.
Unfortunately, the staff forgot my swipe card so I needed to call them and they came within 10 minutes to give me my card (as I was checking in late). My luggage was kept safely and waiting for me next to my room. Only two others were in the room that night so it was good value for money. The kitchen was slightly cleaner this time round. I'd happily stay here again if I visit the Outback/Alice Springs. Thank you. 🙏
The hotel service was excellent, and the location was good. The breakfast offered a decent variety of choices. The hotel manager even followed up afterward to ask about our stay, which was a nice touch. Although the facilities are a bit older overall, the hotel still felt very welcoming and the bedding was comfortable. Opening the balcony door revealed a large grassy area and the pool. Highly recommend!
The hotel is well located to shopping and restaurants, as well as easy vehicular access. Their downside is the limited undercover parking and the need to book a space. Otherwise, you will need to use available, nearby public spaces.
The hotel has automated checking, but staff were on hand to make sure all goes smoothly. If a second key is required, it has to be generated by staff.
Breakfast is not done in the hotel, but a voucher is provided to go to Salvatores Cafe in the same building. You have a choice of dine in or take-away.
Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable.
There's a Uluru lookout point right inside the backpacker hostel. It's a lot further than getting into the park itself, but it's perfectly fine for a day when you're not using tours or buses. The showers and toilets have a lot of bugs, which is typical for the area. I was traveling alone, so I didn't have any issues, but if I were with my parents, I'd probably opt for a higher-ranked hotel. They offer free tea and coffee, and even though it was my first time in a 20-person dorm, it was totally manageable! There were also a lot of Japanese guests.
Good location and service. Cleanness needs improving, there is a big dead cockroaches under the chair for our entire stay but not been removed. Seems like they just made the bed (didn't change them, just made them) and changed the towel, that's all.
The shower design is not great, and it is almost guarantees to get wet everywhere after use.
Tones of insects even in the room, especially in the evening, no door open, so I'm not sure where they came in... but I guess that's deserts.
It's great to have a free laundry facility, which is very helpful. Free activities were a nice touch.
Surprisingly, there are no complementary bottles of water in the room when the hotel is located in the deserts, very unusual compared to all the hotels we stayed.
Nice that we are allowed to use other hotels' facilities, so in general, we did enjoy our trip, and thank you for the friendly staff.
Very Good

RRip RipWas expecting more given the price we paid, apparently already considered low season.
The pool lagoon was disappointing and expected higher standards, more staff and cleanliness.
Hotel restaurant food expensive unless ******** and apparently would have great discount.
Room service was good and value for money.
Expected small amenities like free bottled water to be more generous given the heat. Apparently just 2 bottles per check in although we stayed 2 nights .
Bathroom and toiletries reasonable although bathroom door had a drum which made it inconvenient to open as door swung closed automatically ..

GGuest UserThere's a breakfast buffet, a swimming pool, and a BBQ buffet inside. Parking is conveniently located right next to the rooms, which is great.
However, we initially had a hard time finding our room and circled around several times before finally finding it 😅 Overall, it was a fantastic experience! Highly recommended! 👍🏻

GGuest UserPerfect hotel location for our needs since it is very close to the airport and the Marrara sport complex (10-15 min walk) in which our event took place. What we love most: very clean hotel room, convenient park ing spot right in front of our unit at an extra cost, great pool facility and some restaurant and coffee shop option on site. The room we booked was really spacious. We had a very pleasant stay.
GGuest UserSuperior location. The hotel has good facilities. In front of the gate is the river. It's safe, too. I do a lot of running in the morning. Next to it is a new shopping mall. Later, I found that there are many noodles to eat. You can also see the scenery outside. Very good.
GGuest UserBest features: we had a ground floor unit. So we had a door out to the garden. The bathroom was clean and medium size. Beds perfect. Space-not cramped. Room additions fine for making your own breakfast microwave and fridge included also a table and chairs outside on concrete great for washing dishes. The hotel is located away from passing traffic. Air con and fan worked well..
Downside: if you’re staying a while and want to go shopping you have to get to Casuarina shops to get a local bus to city centre. Otherwise it’s approx 30min drive.
Casuarina Is an air-conditioned Westfield type shopping mall. We liked it and would stay again
Didn’t get s chance to try the restaurant and pool but the menu look good a pond seemed welcoming.
GGuest UserThe hotel is located walking distance to City Center and smith street mall. Even waterfront restaurants and bars are just 15 mins. walk apart. The taxi transfer airport to hotel takes less than 20 minutes.
Friendly reception staff arranged a change of our desired bed configuration upon notice. Rooms are basic but spacious.
Nice restaurant on premises available for lunch, dinner and its where you got the complementary breakfast.
Will stay here again definitely, when in town next time.

Xxiangy225The room was spacious and the location was excellent, with the ocean in front and the CBD behind. Everything in the city center was within walking distance. The noodle house on the street behind the hotel was delicious. The staff were very friendly, enthusiastic, and attentive. I would definitely stay here again next time I'm in Darwin.
