“Great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

My husband and I stayed here for a week over the New Year period Rm 622. (Wet season) Self contained with full kitchen facilities, washer and dryer. Fairly large bathroom. Located right in middle of shopping area backing onto main street. The only downfall was that there was limited cleaning staff working this period so rooms weren't serviced everyday, but this did not reflect on the quality of service provided. Basically the bed wasn't made. The staff were friendly and helpful. The airconditioning worked well and is quiet, very humid outdoors. There is a beautician within the hotel and a tour booking agent. The pool was warm - this was a disappointment. Like getting into a warm bath. I would come back here again but at different time of year.

Room Tip: Air conditioning works well and is quiet. Self contained with washer and dryer.

“Lovely hotel, but fairly poor service”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

I stay here for work a few times a year. The hotel is undergoing some upgrades. It's a lovely location and the hotel itself is great. However staff lack in attentiveness to customer service. This is the only thing that lets the hotel down. Also the fire alarm going off both mornings before 5am and evacuating the building, was certainly not ideal. I felt sorry for people staying there on holidays.

“Great position, room, service and amenities”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

We stayed here for 5 days and from the time we arrived we couldn't fault anything. The staff were friendly and efficient. The room was excellent.. modern, clean, spacious and nice view and balcony. Only 2 minutes to the epicentre of Darwin. Opposite the property is the beautiful Bicentennial Park, where, from your room, you can watch numerous alcohol drinking parties of the locals around the clock despite the prohibition! These gatherings actually spread to the property at 4am one morning causing quite a ruckus! Overall a great place to stay! 5 stars.

Room Tip: Have a room with a balcony.

I get up to Darwin every year and this is definitely my preferred hotel. Great location on Esplanade parkalnds, and if you get the right room, views of the harbour and sunsets. Hotel is comfy, relaxed, good service and has a good pool. Recommended.

Room Tip: Book a room up high and at front of hotel for best views of water. At back of hotel is a bus depot s...

“Top place and location”

We stayed here for 3 nights and it was fantastic. The staff were exceptional in their attention to detail. The room overlooked the city of Darwin and was close to all attractions. There was a supermarket nearby and many restaurants to chose from in Mitchell St (200m away), This place is tops and we would totally recommend to families, couples or singles.

Room Tip: Choose a room facing the city unless you like full afternoon sun.
