Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is wonderfully located in the vibrant heart of Darwin, offering a central base to explore the city. The rooms, although compact, were clean and had a cozy feel. The service was exceptional, with attentive and helpful staff. The dining options were decent but could use some improvement. Overall, a great value for money stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel is very noisy due to its proximity to the entrance and the street, but the family room provided was small yet sufficient for our daughter and her boys. The service, though small, was efficient and friendly, making check-in and check-out a breeze. The location is right outside our window, offering easy access to the waterfront and various shops and restaurants. The dining experience was plain, with limited options and late opening hours. The facilities were kept clean and new, providing basic necessities for our stay.
The hotel is conveniently located near noisy pubs and shops, offering clean and comfortable rooms with a noisy laneway at the back. Although the rooms were on the pricier side, they were clean and comfortable. The dining options were basic and could be improved, while the location, though central, suffered from noise disturbances at night.
The hotel has lovely rooms tastefully decorated and clean, but there are noise issues from the nightclub nearby. The service staff are helpful but faced challenges with parking. The location is central with easy access to many attractions, yet noise can be disruptive from the neighboring nightclub. The dining experience was slow and confusing at times. Overall, the hotel offers comfortable rooms and great service despite some noise concerns.
The hotel's rooms were excellent and very clean, offering new, comfortable accommodations with all necessary amenities, though the smell of chlorine near the pool and moldy air conditioning were noticeable. The service was friendly and helpful overall, particularly thanks to Sam, making the stay pleasant despite some aspects being less accommodating. The location was ideal, being centrally located with easy access to various attractions but also near noisy pubs in peak times. The dining options were decent but somewhat limited, with intermittent availability. Overall, a good budget-friendly choice with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel had a minimalist room setup, but the cleanliness was questionable. The bathroom design was more suited for individuals with disabilities. The view from the room was a nice touch. Some improvements are needed in maintaining cleanliness and catering to all guest needs.
