“The room was fairly standard, nothing other than your bunk and a bin - saying this you dont need much more in the outback. You get what you pay for and personally I think this was perfect for my trip, low cost, fairly comfortable bunk, good...”
Ting

“Very convenient location. This hotel is the last stop of the shuttle bus that goes around Uluru town (which means it's usually the last stop for pick-up and drop-off for tours). The 4-female dorm room was priced reasonably. The bed was good...”
