    Could hear external noise from other rooms which was a little frustrating.

    great place to stay, staff were really lovely. room wasn’t amazing, but I was happy for the price (shower a little dated).

    The hotel takes money for deposit/surity $100 but doesn't pay back on time. The corridor didn't have fresh air, there is a smell that is not welcoming

    Proximity to everything and quiet and safe place to be

    The shower was over the bathtub, narrow, & the bathtub surface curved & slippery. This could too easily be a significant risk to anyone with mobility issues, aging factors such as arthritis, or anyone with hip or spine or knee issues, for whom climbing in & the getting out of the tub is not easy, & the tub is slippery when wet making the risk of a fall or similar injury quite a significant potential. There was one railing on the wall to hold when getting in or out.

    The staff were extremely helpful. Room clean. room service prompt. Reception staff very helpful. A special mention goes to Belle (Mirabelle) in the breakfast dining room. Consistently friendly, welcoming & greeting each person as they entered the dining room, always smiling and happy to help, and then thanked each person as they left to begin their day, & all the while actively attending to her duties in keeping the tables cleared & clean, & breakfast items replenished. She is an asset to the Hotel.

    OK overall for Darwin prices, but I would try to look for another option next time.

    Cleanliness of floors average (but was labor day week-end so not sure cleaners worked every day). Only 1 bedside lamp and powerpoint around the queen bed (struggled with chargers). Not enough powerpoints in room in general. Breakfast very basic (quality and variety could be improved : veeeery bad coffee, bad orange juice...)

    1 closed room inside the room for the 2nd bed. Comfortable beds. Aircon working ok. 24/7 staff. Breakfast included in the room rate as most other hotels would not have it.

    The shower, being set up for disabled use, when being used did cover 90% of the bathroom floor with water. It was a minor inconvenience.

    Comfortable Bed in a room with the correct temperature setting. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful. They were excellent.

    On arrival we didn't get any instructions on using your room key to get to your floor in the hotel. After two goes another guest explain it to us

    Rooms were a good size and clean. The microwave and dinnerware and cutlery were an excellent bonus. Nice quiet location.

    It does what it says, maybe it will be nice to have a bigger pool. It will be nice if they could organise a pick- up from the airport or drop of there.

    Great place to stay in Darwin, not too far from the city center, you can walk to all main attractions in town. Halfway between east part of city center and the west part. Room is clean, modern, has a balcony, ac blows cold air. Quiet inside the room, i didn't hear much noise from the other rooms or from the hallway. They have a small pool, but i didn;t have time to swim. I had to wake up in the morning so i didn't try their breakfest. Reception i think is 24 hours and you can check late at night or check out yearly morning. I think there is an underground car park but check if you have a big truck, i not sure you can drive it in . I would stay again at this place, no need to look any further.

    Breakfast was included but it would’ve been nice to get lunch or dinner at a restaurant on the premises. No cutlery supplied which made it difficult when I bought a takeaway back to my room for lunch or dinner. No services on Sunday to make up the rooms.

    The bed was the best but I booked a “superior” room expecting it to be a bit bigger than it was.
