"Beautiful views! Glamping tents were so spacious and the kitchenette was so well appointed. Michelle was very welcoming and even built a fire for roasting marshmallows. A great alternative choice for staying near Alice Springs. Only 10 minutes from town. We stayed in July, which was pretty cold in the mornings though we did sleep warm with comforters and electric blankets. It was getting up and moving for breakfast that was a little challenging as it was so cold. The views and atmosphere make...

Top Desert Springs Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza Alice Springs Lasseters by IHG

8/10 Good

"Nice big room, clean, helpful staff, good gym, good breakfast. Will come back"

Elkira Court Motel

8/10 Good

"A good value budget hotel in Alice Springs with secure parking. Management extremely helpful, nothing negative to say about it. Of course you can pay a lot more for the Hilton or Mercure but this hotel is totally adequate and is not as noisy (hoons at night) as the Diplomat Hotel where we have stayed previously. No restaurant open but plenty of options within walking distance."

DoubleTree by Hilton Alice Springs

8/10 Good

"Hotel was ok, check in was a little slow. The room initially was fine, but a long walk from reception. Facilities were good and a discount was applicable which was nice. However the air conditioning in the room was not working, initially staff did not want to do anything, however after standing firm another room was provided."
