Excellent staff. I had been hospitalised and they asked me if I was well and to just ask if I needed assistance. Rooms basic but very clean. Domestic staff pleasant. Hotels in Darwin are not cheap but as a a mid to upper range, this was reasonably priced.

It was quiet for where it’s located and the staff were helpful. Other places in Darwin we stayed were higher priced and in even worse conditions so I’d book this place again.

I enjoyed the self check-in/check-out. Every time i went through reception there was staff there so, if i'd needed any help, they were closeby. The room was nice and clean but perhaps a little dated. The tv was tiny given the size of the room (being a king deluxe room) and the positioning of the furniture meant that even if you had a nice view, you weren't in a position to see it. Otherwise a really comfortable stay, no issues.

Central position very convenient, close to information centre, tours picked up from the hotel. The air conditioning in our room was far too cold, asked for an extra blanket, tried turning down the air-con. to a lower temperature, this did not work. Eventually the air-con. was adjusted and was much more comfortable. Enjoyed our stay staff were very good.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a very disappointing experience. The reception area was poorly designed, tucked away behind a pole, giving it an unprofessional appearance. The staff also seemed unprofessional, which added to the negative impression. In addition, my room had a musty smell of damp mold that triggered a serious asthma attack. The air felt old and cold, making it difficult to breathe. Unfortunately, this forced me to cancel my plans for the day and cut my trip short. It’s clear that the hotel is in desperate need of refurbishment, proper cleaning, and a more welcoming reception area. I wouldn't recommend staying here if you value your health and comfort.

No restaurant in house even though there is a dedicated space. No bar facilities either. The pool is tiny. The rooms are large but very dated. The shower was a nightmare. Very misleading information on website. Would not recommend to anyone.
