Great hotel - ideally located … it’s in the tropics so there is a touch of tropical mold smell that you find everywhere in Darwin

The first room we had was lovely but smelt very musty. That was on the 4th floor. The next time we stayed our room was lovely and that was on the first floor.
Breakfast was buffet and nice selection. Situated down on the Waterfront area with an easy walk into town. I would definitely stay here again but ask to change rooms if you end up with a musty one.

Good location
We stayed twice recently and on our first stay our room was small and musty. It was on the 4th floor. The second stay was on the 1st floor and was a much larger room and smelt fresh. Just be aware that rooms aren’t serviced daily. They are serviced after three days. Good location, but if staying there again, I wouldn’t settle for our first room.
Breakfast was buffet and well stocked.

We arrived late. I had specifically asked for a room with two beds. The room with no view as advertised and tiny only had one bed a roller bed was brought in. The guy told us they didn’t have rooms with two beds.
The next day we got moved to a room with two beds.
The place is old and run down. Mould in the bathroom. The breakfast was good.

Incompetent
We booked a room overlooking the pool with two beds we checked in went to the room it had one bed just like last time and did not overlook the pool.
Went back to reception they blamed hotel.com for sending wrong info and for the false advertising.

It was a not so good stay……
Location is top feature
Firstly the room advertised on hotels.com was not the room I was given?? Had to pay extra
Fridge froze my cream, dip& tomatoes etc sadly just had to throw them out !!! Noticed some of the mini bar frozen too
It was on 1 so wasn’t too high bit of a loss
I think it’s getting tired the Hotel!!!
Fridge had rust on door bathrooms taps dirty etc
Sadly first time we went to take car out the staff member had not taken the care to put barcode on correctly so we could get out!!!
So all in all disappointed!!!

Was rated really high. Room was very ordinary. Don’t offer daily cleaning which is ok I only stayed the night but only 2 towels shower 2 times a day in Darwin heat but towel has to last me 4 showers. Check in was quick and nice guy but didn’t offer a lot of information. Overall I don’t think I’ll stay again when in Darwin

Clean comfortable room. Easy access to dining as the waterfront entertainment district is literally on the doorstep. Easy, short walk to Stokes Hill Wharf, harbor cruises, Oceanside dining. Skybridge to the Central Business District.

Older hotel in very good location near the waterfront. Small rooms and bathrooms. Checking in was ok for us but our friends with two other rooms had extreme difficulties. We arrive a few minutes early about 2:30 and their rooms weren’t ready. That’s ok because we were early and staff said they’d be ready by 3:00. But there was an IT issue and the system was down. During this time a fire alarm sounded, the FD responded. But it was a false alarm. Finally after waiting 3 hours our friends were given their room cards. We included breakfast with our reservation and it was goid.
