Lock in a great price for Desert Gardens Hotel – rated 8 by recent guests!

to get started.

I would stay again at the hotel mainly because they deliver on what's expected, the staff are friendly, and all in all it wasn't a bad experience, and given the competition it is a great hotel.

Dakrouri, Saudi Arabia

Everything is very well organized, the tours, the airport shuttles, etc. There is a supermarket. In general the hotel is good and the staff is nice.

Maria, Chile

We LOVED the staff!! We also loved the grounds, and the walking tours, and the proximity to food, petrol, and to the sights. We really enjoyed walking to the town center for souvenirs.

Nenad, Sweden

A great facility in a special place, everyone should travel here in their lifetime! Hotel couldn’t have been better.

David, United States of America

We were at the hotel as a group of 8. We found it expensive and tired. I had worked at the resort 30 years earlier and the bathroom tiles were the same tiles. Mould in the shower and it just looked tired. It is expensive both room restaurant and drinks. We found some of the staff not trained well in hospitality as far as speed. It took us a long time to receive our drinks at dinner, they came the same time as our meal. The outside area of the rooms were unkept and the buildings need painting andsome repairs. I think management are skimping on staff and maintenance.

Pamela, Australia

Everything was conviently located, restaurants, coffee shop, gasoline station and grocery store! Staff was super friendly and accommodating!

Sergio, United States of America

We had everything we needed...spacious, clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful time. Everything I had booked - Tali Wiru dinner and Field of light were fantastic and our transport there was well organized. Breakfasts were lovely and there were plenty of choices for dinner. The surroundings and setting were beautiful.

Cathy, Australia

Everyone from the restaurant and room service were just lovely. The room was really clean and warm when we arrived, which was really appreciated considering it was freezing outside.

Nothing that bad to mention.
Limited options in Uluru but this offered a good level of comfort and access to a wide range of options associated with Uluru. We had a room with two comfortable double beds. The bathroom was good too.A nice room to retire to when heat at its worst.

When ordering dinner there were vegetarian options, but they were limited. Overall this was a minor issue and wasn't really a problem.
A fantastic room in a central location. The room's as very clean and modern. The air conditioning was working well, which was essential in the hot desert environment.

I have trouble walking long distances and my room was way down the back. So after walking around the rock I struggled when I got back to the hotel and walking up hill to my room.
Visiting airs rock the fields of light. The pool gave relief to the hot weather.

Rooms could do with some updating, the bathroom in particular. The portacot was absolutely filthy, most definitely doesn’t even get a wipe down after use. The service in the bar was subpar. Waiting twenty minutes for a short black, then cancelled the order because they had forgotten to make the order! The rooms are rather expensive for what you get.
Firstly, Peggy at the front desk was super helpful so thank you ! The best thing about this hotel is the pool and the two nice restaurants in house. It also provides great transport to anywhere you need to go. Uluru was indescribable. One of the greatest sites I’ve ever seen.
