Comfortable base for Kakadu

This was a great place to stay while exploring Kakadu! The room was super clean, comfy, and spacious, which was fantastic given that it was necessary to return to the room during the hottest hours of the day. The restaurant was lovely, it was easy to get a good coffee drink first thing in the morning, the amenities were great, and everyone was friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

Oasis facility

Lovely hotel to stay in with all the facilities travellers could need including the nice dining room, air-con of course, and the onsite undercover pool. Great facility for the town and visitors - it is an attraction in itself with fantastic architecture and beautiful indigenous art displays.

Accommodation very good and convenient to visits the attractions of Kakadu. Restaurant closing times however do not reflect the activities in the area. Eg to be accepting last dinner orders at 8:15 pm is too early when guests have been out viewing sunsets 45 mins drive from the resort.

We had a nice stay at Mercure. Spacious room and comfortable bed. Staff were lovely, mainly young overseas workers who did a great job. Aircon had a malfunction but was quickly repaired on request. Pool was refreshing. Food was very nice, had both the buffet and a la carte. All in all a very pleasant stay.

Poor state of repair - old and tired

We’ve stayed here a few times over the years - for the middle of nowhere it is fine but that’s it. More like a large motel. Old and dated rooms - poor service - in desperate need of repair and maintenance. We stayed for two nights and then moved to Cooinda Lodge which was much better! A Highway motel at hotel prices - but they charge you as they’re the only option there! Embarrassing for the Mercure brand!

Do not stay in these hotels. They have the least friendly of policies and try to gauge money for every little thing that we take for granted in any good quality hotels.
