Palms City Resort is a beautiful place to stay. We stayed in March 2024. The staff are extremely courteous and most helpful. The room we stayed in was on the 2nd floor and was spacious and serviced all our needs. It only has two floors and stairs up to it, but they are not arduous. It has a pool which is big enough to do laps in. The grounds are its best asset. Surrounded by lush palms, native trees, and shrubs, it looks like a hotel you would expect to see in tropical Qld. It is a very quiet and peaceful hotel, despite its central location. The location is excellent. It is only a 10 min walk to the main centre of town and right next door to a pub we really enjoyed: The Hotel Darwin. It is right opposite the memorial gardens that lead onto the harbour and at night the sunsets are worthy of photos and meditative relaxation. One of the highlights for us was Pickles, a gorgeous green-cheeked Conure who regularly sits at reception and greets the guests. If we have to be picky, our only complaint is the design of the bathroom vanity, which due to its design becomes flooded with water when you wash your hands or face. We had to continuously wipe it dry with a towel. But that is a mere detail. Otherwise, we would highly recommend this hotel.

Good hotel. Close to the centre of town.

First time we have stayed in Darwin - this 'bungalow' type hotel, in a great location, quiet (maybe accept for the small bungalows close to the pool) is fully recommended by self and wife (me 71 yrs, wife 52 yrs with a modern approach to life/living and travelling). Staff at reception were very helpful, although some of the 'newer staff - to the Hotel and to Australia should try and improve their knowledge of the English language, as well as the 'Aussie' slang/way of speaking/communicating, to avoid any misunderstandings! The maintenance staff are knowledgeable and fixed a couple of minor problems with keys/door latches et al. The cleaning staff were diligent in their tasks, reasonably efficient in their cleaning/make up room duties and willing to offer extra facial/toilet tissue when requested. The use of an onsite laundry/drinks fridge and a freezer to store food stuffs was appreciated as well as the outside electric BBQ in each outdoor open air area, which we used 6 of the 10 nights we stayed there, namely 20-30 March 2016. So, overall, we give this 3* Hotel, small bungalow style accommodation, an overall rating of 8/10 - value for money, especially in the 'off' season. High season rates may be a little high but still reasonably good value, taking the above comments into consideration. Cheers, and we will return.
