Very clean, spacious rooms. 30 mins walk to waterfront . Extremely friendly helpful staff . Breakfast included fruit & yoghurt, cereals and toast, no cooked breakfast but what was provided was adequate for us. Aircon was good and quiet which I need to sleep , the hotel was quiet even though quite a few guests. Would recommend, good value for money.

Three Days in Darwin

Good sized and clean room with decent shower. On edge of town centre so quiet, but most locations within walking distance. Staff helpful. Laundry facility available. Only criticism is breakfast. Described as light continental and that is what you get. Toast and cereal. Fortunately, more substantial options available in town!

Loved the continental breakfast. The plunge pool was, as it said, just a plunge pool. Little space around it with only 4 loungers. Room is small, balcony so small can only have 1 small chair. OK for drying clothes. Turned off dehumifier as so noisy. We stayed here in 2 short breaks. Suited us as clisd to supermarket and not far to walk to restaurants. Helpful staff.

Basic hotel. Friendly, helpful staff. Loved the continental breakfast. Pool was correctly described as a plunge pool. Limited space to relax around it - 4 loungers. Gym was basic but new carpet smell overwhelming. Room very small. Balcony was so small, only fit one small chair. Good guest laundry. Good hotel if planning to be out each day.
