Peter, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

No restaurant in house even though there is a dedicated space. No bar facilities either. The pool is tiny. The rooms are large but very dated. The shower was a nightmare. Very misleading information on website. Would not recommend to anyone.
Jennifer, 7-night trip

4/10 Fair

Hotel is dull, drab, dated, impersonal, & characterless. Good CBD location & excellent WiFi. Kept awake until 01:30 on Friday & Saturday nights due to very noisy nearby disco bar.
Malcolm, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

We stayed for 10 days and complained alot as the room was never cleaned properly. The room was not vacumed, our cups and spoons were not washed, bed was a hit and miss to how well it was made, bathroom and coffee making area was never wiped down, we had to ask for milk every day, and we ran out of coffee and tea. Instead of going to a hotel it felt like a youth hostel. Probably the worst hotel we have stayed in.
Kerry, 10-night trip

8/10 Very good

Sometimes it was noisy, and you could hear people talking next door or in the hallways. But overall good accommodation and everything is nearby.

Great hotel close to the centre of Darwin. Be warned, the informaton about wifi is misleading. Certain parts of the hotel and some rooms will not have access to wifi. I was only on the 2nd floor and i couldn’t use the free wifi.
Ai Chuen, 1-night trip

Very nice hotel in great position

Excellent position, very helpful staff, especially in reception. Cannot fault it.

Great motel
Cath, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Was a great location if you like to listen to throbbing hip-hop music till the early hours of the morning. Sleep is overrated!
Christopher, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a very disappointing experience. The reception area was poorly designed, tucked away behind a pole, giving it an unprofessional appearance. The staff also seemed unprofessional, which added to the negative impression. In addition, my room had a musty smell of damp mold that triggered a serious asthma attack. The air felt old and cold, making it difficult to breathe. Unfortunately, this forced me to cancel my plans for the day and cut my trip short. It’s clear that the hotel is in desperate need of refurbishment, proper cleaning, and a more welcoming reception area. I wouldn't recommend staying here if you value your health and comfort.
