Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is centrally located, close to shops and the waterfront, which is terrific for exploring the area. The rooms are nicely styled but lack practicality with no drawers or shelving, and there's a damp, musty smell present. The service is accommodating and friendly, despite being moved to another hotel mid-booking without much apology. The dining offers a nice variety of options but may not be worth the price. Overall, a convenient location with friendly service.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious with separate bedroom and lounge area featuring wall-mounted flat-screen TVs. However, the balcony was run down, and the overall ambiance felt a bit old. The weed presence around the pool was a letdown and didn't match the cost.
I had a great stay at the hotel. The rooms overlooked the harbor and met our expectations for a well-known brand, although they appeared a bit worn for the price. The service was exceptional, with incredibly helpful and friendly staff, making our experience memorable. The location was convenient within Darwin's Central Business District, walking distance to shops and the waterfront, but the need to get the parking fob from reception was a slight inconvenience. The dining offered a nice variety of dishes, though it could have been more diverse and included more fresh fruit. Overall, a comfortable and welcoming stay with some minor drawbacks.
