Good location

We stayed twice recently and on our first stay our room was small and musty. It was on the 4th floor. The second stay was on the 1st floor and was a much larger room and smelt fresh. Just be aware that rooms aren’t serviced daily. They are serviced after three days. Good location, but if staying there again, I wouldn’t settle for our first room. Breakfast was buffet and well stocked.

The first room we had was lovely but smelt very musty. That was on the 4th floor. The next time we stayed our room was lovely and that was on the first floor. Breakfast was buffet and nice selection. Situated down on the Waterfront area with an easy walk into town. I would definitely stay here again but ask to change rooms if you end up with a musty one.

Great hotel - ideally located … it’s in the tropics so there is a touch of tropical mold smell that you find everywhere in Darwin

Older hotel in very good location near the waterfront. Small rooms and bathrooms. Checking in was ok for us but our friends with two other rooms had extreme difficulties. We arrive a few minutes early about 2:30 and their rooms weren’t ready. That’s ok because we were early and staff said they’d be ready by 3:00. But there was an IT issue and the system was down. During this time a fire alarm sounded, the FD responded. But it was a false alarm. Finally after waiting 3 hours our friends were given their room cards. We included breakfast with our reservation and it was goid.

Was rated really high. Room was very ordinary. Don’t offer daily cleaning which is ok I only stayed the night but only 2 towels shower 2 times a day in Darwin heat but towel has to last me 4 showers. Check in was quick and nice guy but didn’t offer a lot of information. Overall I don’t think I’ll stay again when in Darwin

Was a long drive from Katherine bur couldn't get a rest straight away because of this issues!! Very disappointing!!!

Nice position on the waterfront. The hotel is getting on in age but still good enough. Lot's of eateries in walking distance, whether in the waterfront precinct or over the road (Skybridge) and into town. Lots of historical areas in close vicinity, WWII and Cyclone aftermath. As for the hotel room, it was quiet even though 2 floors down there was a lot of activity in the waterfront with bars and restaurants. Room was a nice size. TV had basic free to air channels. A few issues: bedding was not changed after we spilt some coffee! and mini bar and coffee was not restocked the next day! However there is a Mini Mart across the way that stayed open till midnight so we just went there for our supplies. There is a wave pool downstairs ($9.00 entry for adults) that was nice and warm which is nice coming from Perth where every pool is quite chilly.

Excellent location on the water and centrally located to shopping restaurants and other interesting things. Staff was excellent and courteous. Only complaint, the property needs serious updating.
