This hotel offers excellent value for money. What really stands out is that daily cleaning service is provided, which is quite rare for hotels in Australia. They also offer free breakfast; although the selection is limited, it's better than nothing. The location is great, making it one of the best value-for-money hotels in Darwin. I've stayed here multiple times.

Small but clean room in city area. Only sheets on bed which didn't feel so comfortable and room a little stuffy - air con struggled. Good friendly customer service.

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.

This hotel was mentioned by a local taxi driver as old and needed renovations. This we found to be untrue, our room was modern with fairly new facilities, it was very clean, neat and tidy. A great location and the staff are very helpful.

It was my second stay. The hotel itself is old, but the rooms are large and there is no parking fee and you can park where there is a roof. I also got a drink ticket that can be used for beer and rooftops with free drinks. It is a good hotel to access the city and use it.

Perfectly acceptable hotel with a very large Swimming Pool. All staff seem pleasant and helpful. Clean rooms, modern bathrooms. Sometimes a little early morning preparation noise noticed as a lot of the rooms surround the central atrium with reception down below, but then I am a fairly light sleeper!

The hotel is located walking distance to City Center and smith street mall. Even waterfront restaurants and bars are just 15 mins. walk apart. 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.

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.

100% recommend this place! The staff is simply amazing and kind. The guy at the reception which we assume to be the manager was so helpful and accommodating. The room was nice and we liked the new decoration ! Please do yourself a favor and come stay at this place. Also loved the private parking, helped us to sleep better knowing our car is secured.

Best 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.

Room was clean and well appointed except there was no milk for the coffee and tea provided. Luckily I have mine black. Location is great. It looked like the pool would be nice but I was only there for 4 hours as I landed in Darwin with the Red-eye flight. It would be nice to consider a lower room cost for business travellers who are in late and checked out before 10am and only in Darwin for 36 hours. Team were forthcoming with after-hours access code and letting me stay on the ground floor after such a tiring flight (4.5 hours). Really safe and secure for solo business travel. I would definitely stay again.

Initially I was given a corner room with poor ventilation, but after negotiating with the front desk I was given a different room, which was much better. The hotel is in a great location, right by the sea, surrounded by parks and green spaces. Unfortunately the sunset market is not open until the end of the wet season in May.
