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.
Darwin isn't very big, so everything's pretty close by. The hotel room was quite spacious and came with a balcony, but it was so hot and humid outside that the balcony was practically useless. Having a fridge in the room was convenient. Breakfast was a simple Western style. The room decor was a bit dated but very complete. There's a connecting door between my room and the next, probably for when they combine them into a suite. The staff were very enthusiastic. However, during my stay, there was a rather violent incident. In the morning, someone was violently banging on my door and shouting. After the noise stopped, I went out to check and found a mess, with plaster peeling everywhere. Staff were repairing it, but it was all fixed by the time I finished breakfast. It seemed like they were used to it.
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.
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 best hotel in all of Australia.
The staff is very helpful and kind, ready to solve our problems.
The room was very clean, far above the standards of all other hotels in Australia. The breakfast was quite varied and averagely good.
A note of merit to this hotel for the presence of the laundry, with washing machine and dryer, very useful for travelers.
The only hotel I would return to in Australia, I recommend it.
Wonderful staff, cleaners and management!
A big help with everything I needed, went beyond satisfaction.
Safe and secure building, lovely room service and food options.
Beautiful pool and bar area.
This hotel is highly recommended for those looking to save on accommodation costs within the resort, especially if your priority is simply a clean place to sleep.
**Convenience and Activities:** Many tour companies offer pick-up and drop-off services right in front of the hotel, making transportation incredibly easy. There's also a free shuttle bus stop within the resort, providing seamless access to other areas.
**Social Atmosphere:** The on-site ”Pioneer BBQ & Bar” is lively and features live music.
If I ever come back to Uluru, I'll definitely stay here again!
We really enjoyed our family stay at Desert Gardens Hotel in Uluru. The location within the Ayers Rock Resort is excellent and makes it very easy to explore the area.
Our room was large, comfortable, and offered plenty of space for a family of four, which we really appreciated after long days out. The hotel also offers tours, making planning straightforward and convenient. A complimentary shuttle bus runs to the marketplace, which is a great touch and very practical.
The nearby marketplace is a real highlight. There’s a supermarket with everything you might need if you don’t want to eat at the hotel all the time, as well as several tour providers where you can easily book individual or group tours. It was also lovely to see Indigenous artists selling their paintings and crafts, which added to the overall experience.
Overall, Desert Gardens Hotel is a very comfortable, well-located choice for families visiting Uluru, and we would happily stay there again.
Very Good
