Alice Lodge is a charming and well-situated place that makes a great base for exploring the area. The location is spot on—quiet enough for a good night’s rest but still conveniently close to the city center. Everything is kept tidy and well-maintained, which really adds to the comfortable atmosphere. A special shoutout to the staff—they’re genuinely easygoing, approachable, and always ready to help within their means, making the whole experience that much more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

All hostels in Alice Springs

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff, particularly the managers. Anna went out of her way to accommodate me despite late unplanned arrival. I’ve been travelling solo for nearly 3 months now, staying exclusively in backpacker / hostel accommodation and the YHA at Alice Springs is head and shoulders above anywhere I have stayed. Thank you and best wishes. David
