Lovely staff and the room was clean and spacious. Good to have a water bottle refill station too, to reduce plastic use. Small kitchen if you need it. Easy walk from the pier and to the Charles Darwin centre.

The hotel was average. Breakfast wasn’t great and it was very noisy all night long. The location is great & the staff was helpful. If you’re looking for a basic hotel this was great. Tips: to get to Santa Cruz take the airport bus($5), a water taxi to other side ($1) & bus to main road ($5). It’s cheaper than taking a private taxi & it takes the same amount of time. It leaves you off right on the main road & the hotel is 2 blocks away.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The property was acceptable clean. But the the wifi service was only available in the lobby not in the rooms. It would have been great a small refrigerator and coffee maker in the rooms. A cup of coffee is expensive and very bad in this area. If you are a coffee drinker and like it with milk, this is very important. The pool is so tiny that it looks like a kiddie pool. If you travel in a budget and need a clean place this is the one for you.

The staff was not friendly or unfriendly, the pool pictured is right in front of the checkin desk and near the tables that people can sit at. It makes it awkward if you were to swim. The rooms were fine, small but workable. The wardrobe had 1 hanger.....1 for 2 people. This didn't work so well. The property is clean and centrally located.
