Comfortable and cool, good escape from the Darwin heat. Shower head didn't work properly, was very low and couldn't be adjusted. Overall a pleasant stay and one of the cheapest options.

Accommodation is very basic. Rooms are dated and some things need maintenance (e.g. broken handle on cupboard, noisy exhaust fan in bathroom, poor water pressure in shower). The price is by far the cheapest in that area and the location is fantastic. If you're on a budget and can look past some of it's faults, then this hotel is worth staying in.

This is an older style property that has some advantages over more modern places. The location is good - only a 15 minute walk to the waterfront, and even less to the bus interchange and the main shopping and eating locations. The room is basic but comfortable. A plus is the kitchenette with microwave and hotplates. A minus is the absence of WiFi in the room. Overall, this place is good value.

We loved the property but the lack of regular room servicing was an issue. We got our room serviced when we asked plus a few other times but that was it. We weren’t told that is was servicing on demand. However the room was perfect for our needs.

The fit out was tired, shower screen cracked, taps ill fitted and entry door lock was loose. Pool had tiles falling and breaking away and pot plant surrounding pool are dead. Communication and admission was excellent as were the admission and departure staff who were extremely helpful. Street noise in my unit was loud on the Saturday night of my stay, but I suppose it is a compromise seeing the great CBD location.

Firstly Check in was a long process, lack of staff, was kept standing at desk whilst only staff member was on phone discussing business matters with someone on phone. Where I was able to get a lot of information due to said staff member having their phone on speaker, hello to you as well. Then during late evening loud kids at pool until long after opening hours. Upon checkout I informed person at desk and received a nonchalant response.
