BUG Review
Toddy’s is a large hostel complex at the southern end of Alice Springs that is comprised of a couple of former motels. It offers poor quality accommodation with a barren and decrepit kitchen, neglected bathrooms and old and worn furnishings in the common areas. However it has a relatively good bar and two swimming pools.

The rooms were well maintained and clean, and the staff was very friendly. They had a cook who would prepare a buffet dinner and it was pretty cheap. But for their complimentary breakfast, you receive 2 pieces of bread and tea/coffee - not quite what I was expecting. The free airport transfer is only one way, which I was not told. If you don't mind walking 20 minutes into town, this was a good place to stay.
Pros:
staff helpfulness.
Cons:
the pool was freezing (end of August).

Having arrived in town very late most hostels' receptions were closed. Myself and a friend chanced upon the owner of Elkes, he let us in and trusted us to sort out payment the following day. I only stayed in Alice a few days but felt comfortable and well looked after here. A good place to stop while passing through, trips to Uluru can be booked at short notice and at a good price. The common area usually closes quite early but the security made exception for me to be able to watch the cricket
