Australia2 Reviews“We enjoyed Darwin itself but accommodation was suboptimal”No restaurant. Pool was freezing. Gardens in very poor condition, weeds, dead plants and just messy and not looked after. Having to pay extra for parking on top of room price. The whole building is so old and dated. The room is serviced only once a week so nowhere to put your rubbish.Holes and mould throughout.

Australia8 ReviewsVery PoorThe room was terrible. Mould and musty from water damage. Bathroom tiles all mouldy, mirror very tarnished. Staff didn't want to help with a room change as didn't book direct with them. Was supposed to be a 4 1/2 star more like a 2.All in all very unhappy.
Location was the only thing

Australia1 review“Overall if staff improved in customer service & took pride in the hotel it I would visit again”Cleanliness & general maintenance needs improving
On arrival I found the reception lady to be quite cold & before proceeding to my room I double checked it had two single beds as requested a week earlier in person…. Yes was the answer… No should have been the answer. That was fixed after check-in. I found the layout & size of the rooms good for the requested 1 bedroom apartment with a great balcony however I found mould on most of the kitchen cupboard doors & the freezer smelt of fish & the lounge curtains had a rip in a very obvious spot. It just felt worn. The shampoo etc were in bulk pump packs in inconvenient places but it didn’t matter as they were either empty or so watered down you wouldn’t get a handful anyway. Location of hotel was excellent & great harbour view. The only other thing was the aircon was a set temperature only the fan speed could be regulated which made it very cold if any length of time was spent in the room even during the hottest NT days & nights.
