First of all, it was very clean because it was renewed. Nevertheless, due to the local characteristics of Darwin, I saw insects in the room on the first day, but when I told the office, I cleaned them and put them in the room. Locationally, there was a mindil sunset market within walking distance and cbd was not too far away. Although I inquired about the check-out rate due to the flight, I was disappointed about the part that cost $30 an hour, but other than that, it was generally a satisfactory visit.

The room was spacious and the location was excellent, with the ocean in front and the CBD behind. Everything in the city center was within walking distance. The noodle house on the street behind the hotel was delicious. The staff were very friendly, enthusiastic, and attentive. I would definitely stay here again next time I'm in Darwin.

The hotel is well located to shopping and restaurants, as well as easy vehicular access. Their downside is the limited undercover parking and the need to book a space. Otherwise, you will need to use available, nearby public spaces. The hotel has automated checking, but staff were on hand to make sure all goes smoothly. If a second key is required, it has to be generated by staff. Breakfast is not done in the hotel, but a voucher is provided to go to Salvatores Cafe in the same building. You have a choice of dine in or take-away. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable.

The air-conditioning temperature in the room is fixed and the temperature cannot be adjusted. Only a piece of cloth is provided as a quilt. It is quite cold. There is a blanket but it is a bit old. Finally, we decided to buy a cheap blanket in the supermarket. The music is very late at 11 o'clock in the evening, so be mentally prepared. There is no remote control for the TV in the room.

I stayed 5 nights, I didn’t like the room in 4th floor at the start (as I requested a higher floor room and quiet room, but I got a room next to the elevator) the TV wasn’t facing the bed. I then changed to another room in 8th floor, room was great but the shower room door couldn’t be closed so the water was everywhere and it wouldn’t dry; also cleaner told me cuz it was public holiday they are not able to change my sheets. The last night I stayed, fire alarm went off at 4am everyone went to the lobby, it was a false alarm but I got very scared.

The spot is very convenient and staffs are all friendly! The only concern will be the room is facing main road, so it will sometimes be noisy but not a big deal!

Stayed here twice within 10 days period. This is good location in Darwin. Garden bungalows give you a sense of being in the tropics. The garden bungalows could use a bit of a refresh (beds in the other section were superior and bathrooms fresh and new). But otherwise, it was a good stay.

GGuest UserSuperior location. The hotel has good facilities. In front of the gate is the river. It's safe, too. I do a lot of running in the morning. Next to it is a new shopping mall. Later, I found that there are many noodles to eat. You can also see the scenery outside. Very good.

GGuest UserBest features: we had a ground floor unit. So we had a door out to the garden.  The bathroom was clean and medium size.  Beds perfect. Space-not cramped.  Room additions fine for making your own breakfast microwave and fridge included also a table and chairs outside on concrete great for washing dishes. The hotel is located away from passing traffic. Air con and fan worked well..  Downside:  if you’re staying a while and want to go shopping you have to get to Casuarina shops to get a local bus to city centre.  Otherwise it’s approx 30min drive. Casuarina Is an air-conditioned Westfield type shopping mall. We liked it and would stay again Didn’t get s chance to try the restaurant and pool but the menu look good a pond seemed welcoming.

The taxi transfer airport to hotel takes less than 20 minutes. Friendly reception staff arranged a change of our desired bed configuration upon notice. Rooms are basic but spacious. Nice restaurant on premises available for lunch, dinner and its where you got the complementary breakfast. Will stay here again definitely, when in town next time.

What we love most: very clean hotel room, convenient park ing spot right in front of our unit at an extra cost, great pool facility and some restaurant and coffee shop option on site. The room we booked was really spacious. We had a very pleasant stay.

RRip RipWas expecting more given the price we paid, apparently already considered low season. The pool lagoon was disappointing and expected higher standards, more staff and cleanliness. Hotel restaurant food expensive unless ******** and apparently would have great discount. Room service was good and value for money. Expected small amenities like free bottled water to be more generous given the heat. Apparently just 2 bottles per check in although we stayed 2 nights . Bathroom and toiletries reasonable although bathroom door had a drum which made it inconvenient to open as door swung closed automatically ..

GGuest UserPoor communication with the shuttle service. They failed to communicate the shuttle service would be an unmarked car and did not provide the driver with my phone number. This resulted in a long wait at the airport around midnight, plus several phone calls. The room we were given had hair in the bed and stained sheets. Thankfully, we were promptly given a new room, however, the person who gave me the new room key - passed the key to me and told me the room number and went to immediately leave. I had to ask him to show me the room and help move our bags. (I was travelling with my 8 year old child and by this time it was after 1am). It was a very disappointing and frustrating experience.

VVana LobatoUpon first check in, the receptionist confirmed that we paid through Trip.com but after taking the bond payment he then straight away told us he hasn’t received any payment and asked us to show our proof of payments such as trip.com confirmation, bank transfer, & even statement of bank deduction. We showed confirmation, bank transfer, statements as he asked and then the receptionist refused and insisted we haven’t paid. He refused all the proofs and insisted us to make another payment with them. He refused us to talk to the supervisor because he said “they will say the same thing”. Unfortunately, we didn’t get his name, so we couldn’t specify who he was. Terrible services.
