We've just returned from a very enjoyable 7 day trip and for anyone visiting Darwin I would certainly recommend staying at this hotel. You're very close to the town centre and all of its amenities. The staff were extremely friendly and very helpful. Plenty of choice at the breakfast buffet each morning. We didn't include breakfast in our room rate only because we had a few trips booked which had a very early start so we were on the road before breakfast service srarted, We just paid separately on the days where we could go down and enjoy the buffet. It was $20 per person for continental which was a very good rate. A big shout out to the housekeeping staff who did a wonderful job in keeping our room clean and tidy. I would have no hesitation in staying here again.
