The Desert Cave Hotel Review

Though it's not the only underground hotel in the world, this is the only one with a pool and Jacuzzi. Nineteen units are underground. Rooms lead off tunnels, and while each room is well ventilated and airy, there are no windows or natural light. The hotel can arrange transfers from the airport (A$10). The tours from here go off to the Painted Desert (A$210), and you can also join the Mail Run from here.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; babysitting; golf nearby; health club w/Jacuzzi; outdoor pool; limited room service; sauna; Wi-Fi (A$4 1 hr.; A$12 24 hr.)

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
