“Central in Alice Springs”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

We stayed here before and after our Red Centre safari. Location is great, walking distance to restaurants, supermarket, etc. Efficient check in and friendly staff. The room was nice. Good bath room and properly working airco which is needed in the heat. Nice little swimming pool and facilities for laundry. The hotel also runs a restaurant but we did not eat there. Pleasant stay in Alice Springs.

“Nice view on the war mémorial.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2011

Nice terrace for smokers, Nice view on the mémorial.
Good location, central in Alice Spring there is Some qu'ils at a walking distance.
The room is clean, the shower also. There is nô kitchen. Only tea and coffee maker plus milk in the mini bar. The Check in and Check out is Quick.
The lift was useful for laggages and go straight from the parking to the room level.
It s a Nice stop over when heading Darwin or Ayers rock.

“A hotel in the centre of Alice”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

An standard tourist hotel, where we stayed in a double standard room. The hotel lies close to the mall and Anzac Hill. The size of the room was average, but the beds were too soft. There was adequate reading light for bed-reading. The room sported the usual amenities like electric kettle with complimentary coffee/tea/fridge, but no safe. Aircon was noisy. Bathroom with a shower and hair-dryer.
If you are on a long trip, you may find it useful to know that the hotel gives access to washing-machines and dryers.
Breakfast is in the Ocre Restaurant and if you want the full brekkie(!) it costs p.t. 19 AUS $, while you can get off cheaper, if you abstain from the warm buffet.

“Beautiful, tasteful room, excellent location and service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed at this lovely hotel for two nights in November. The deluxe room was beautiful, large, with a very nice-smelling sprig of greenery. Our rate included Brekkie, which was the usual fare, good choice of mains and some fruit (mostly canned), mueslix. The pool is tiny, but there is a tepid spa (which was fine because it is HOT there), parking was free, internet connection was good (but limited). We will definitely stay there again!

Room Tip: Request Deluxe room with Brekkie
