No internet in the cave accomodation, bedsheet is not the cleanest… the room looks a bit dated too but overall an ok experience.

Good experience but would only be a once off. Rooms were large and tidy, but dated. No
Air con, just a fan which made the room a bit stuffy.

The hotel has different room types. The cave room is worth staying in. If you bring children, it is recommended to book a normal room on the ground. The cave room is very distinctive, but a bit depressing. People with claustrophobia should be careful!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Desert Cave Hotel. It was a great experience to sleep in our comfortable underground room. They had an onsite cafe/bar which was open all day from which they offered a complimentary coffee (for each person each day). This was on top of the complimentary tea and coffee supplied in our room. We were also offered discounted meals - breakfast (in the cafe) and dinner (at the near by Opal Bistro). Very pleasant staff and complimentary airport pickup was very much appreciated. I'd highly recommend a stay at the best hotel in Coober Pedy!

I was really looking forward to staying here, but the overall experience didn’t quite match the price. The idea of a cave hotel sounds super unique, but the room I got felt more like an old motel than an underground retreat, kind of outdated and not as special as I expected. Wi-Fi in my room didn’t work at all, which made it tough to look things up or plan the rest of our trip. I get that not every room is the same, but it’s definitely something to improve. For the price, I was hoping for a bit more comfort and a stronger cave vibe. The location is great and it’s such a cool concept, so with some room updates and better internet, this place could really shine. Just didn’t feel worth the cost this time.

Very nice hotel, although the room we had had some dust and sand in it from the walls.
