What reviewers say

Visitors frequently praise The Cozy Hostel for its good location, friendly and helpful staff, and a calm, welcoming atmosphere that makes guests feel at home. However, some reviewers mention that the showers are unsanitary at times and that the majority of guests are French, which can make it difficult for non-French speakers to socialize.

About this place The Cozy Hostel

The Cozy Hostel is a mainstream budget hostel on Harriet Place in Darwin's city centre. It is listed as gay-friendly and is not a gay venue. It rates 4.1 from about 200 Google reviews, and as a hostel it offers dorm-style and shared accommodation with communal areas. Mitchell Street's bars and backpacker strip and the waterfront are within walking distance. Darwin's LGBTQ scene is small and runs mostly through one-off events and the August pride festival rather than permanent bars. Check room types and air-conditioning details when you book, because it matters in the wet season.

Nice hostel, good location, air-conditioning and fans in the rooms. I especially like the chill atmosphere (not too noisy!). Staff (onsite) and owner (by WhatsApp) are nice, accommodating and helpful.

I’d recommend this hostel, the staff are calm, respectful and great fun. It’s just a few minutes’ walk from the beach, where you can enjoy beautiful sunsets.
