My husband and I took advantage of the Territorian special and thought we would treat ourselves to a night out in a 5 star hotel... The service at the hotel is really good and the staff are friendly. The standard room we were given is very outdated though and a bit disappointing. We had no view at all (concrete wall)... More

This hotel is fairly ordinary unless you spend the extra $50 for a suite. My first night was in a standard room. It was small and dirty. The next day i upgraded to a suite and it was a different world. The staff were excellent going above and beyond will be staying there again. More

The rooms are average at best. I feel more like im at a motel than one of the better hotels in Darwin. Room service is a joke. At 1am we decided to order some food from the 24 hour food service. Well we would have if they answered their phone. Also our tv is stuck on the adult channel. We'd... More

We have stayed at this hotel on every occasion that we have visited Darwin. The suite room is worth the few extra dollars to have the advantage of two rooms, a bedroom and lounge room. The bathroom is fantastic with a spa bath, shower and two basins and decorated in marble. There is also an extra toilet when you enter... More

First off...room service boasts 24hr service. Don't call after 10pm or your talking to a ringing phone. The food is sub-par and very expensive. $29 for a 10" pizza and $5 for a fountain soda.

I stayed in an ocean view room for 4 nights, having chosen the hotel based on Tripadvisor reviews and the fact that it has an infinity pool.

If this is the best Darwin has to offer, they need to have a good rethink. Whilst the rooms are comfortable and clean, they look and feel tired and are urgently in need of a refurbishment. The hotel isn't value for money as it stands and whilst we booked an ocean view suite, we got a view of sorts, but... More
