Like most hotels in Darwin, it needs an upgrade, especially the bathrooms. Also the AC in the rooms is controlled and nowhere near cool enough - please lower the temperature to give guests some more control over the environment in the rooms, especially in this climate!

Even though it was quite pricey, it made up for it with how spacious the rooms were and the beds were very comfortable. Bathroom was great but it was really slippery getting out of the bath/shower. In the end, I enjoyed my room

Property is showing its age, outside room windows were dirty and mouldy. Evacuation alarm activated three times in a 24hr period (last one at 4.20am) causing the evacuation via stairwell from the 8th floor which is not good for the elderly with medical problems. No assistance offered by management, nor apology. The location is convenient with excellent harbour views.

Big open living area, bright lighting in the bathroom, reading lights at the bedside that worked, lovely little balcony, comfortable KS bed, excellent air conditioner, powerful shower pressure, kitchen had good supply of basic amenities, lounge was comfortable and overall, the room was very functional, quiet, safe, clean and had a good vibe!!

I’m staying here now and I’m loving it. I don’t need luxury or service, therefore this is more than what I expected. Very reasonably priced for a suite with more than the basics. Just spent 3 hours in the pool. Great location, I will return. I loved the spirit of Darwin. People are nice, no frills and I felt very relaxed here. PS - Someone mentioned that there is no clothes line but in my suite the clothes line is over the bathtub, opposite the washing machine and dryer. In my hay day I used to stay in backpackers, so I’m impressed! :)
