It was quiet for where it’s located and the staff were helpful. Other places in Darwin we stayed were higher priced and in even worse conditions so I’d book this place again.
Excellent staff. I had been hospitalised and they asked me if I was well and to just ask if I needed assistance. Rooms basic but very clean. Domestic staff pleasant. Hotels in Darwin are not cheap but as a a mid to upper range, this was reasonably priced.
A great location in the centre of town yey quiet.
The staff were very human and and go out of their way to make your life easy.
This was a return visit for me to stay here and will choose it again

Centrally located so was close to everything we wanted. Well maintained, we had daily cleaning service, bed was made up, fresh towels and supplies always topped up. The staff at the front desk were exceptionally helpful and welcoming.

Clean, friendly and attentive staff, fresh towels every day.
I enjoyed the self check-in/check-out. Every time i went through reception there was staff there so, if i'd needed any help, they were closeby.
The room was nice and clean but perhaps a little dated. The tv was tiny given the size of the room (being a king deluxe room) and the positioning of the furniture meant that even if you had a nice view, you weren't in a position to see it.
Otherwise a really comfortable stay, no issues.
