Really nice place to stay. Breakfast good although exactly the same every day. Had to ask, at checkout, for 25% off food and drink that was part of the deal. Terrible wifi.
Concierge was very helpful considerate and inviting from the moment we arrived,
the hotel itself was very clean and the rooms delightful and would stay again the only downfall was they would not replenish the water bottles or the small milks every day (we were there for 5 days) for the kettle in our room so we could have coffee. but one word to the staff and they would rectify it straight away, ideal location close to the waterfront and main streets easy to get to places for dining
Good location, central to the main attractions of Darwin center/Mitchell street, clean, quiet with friendly staff.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Room was spacious but air conditioner even though turned off the fan kept going and was very noisy.
Water in shower very poor no pressure for hot water.
Taps over sink were marked wrong way around. The hot was on cold side.
We stayed 5 nights and floor not vacuumed once.
Staff were excellent and helpful in reception and pool areas.
Wonderful pool

Good location to access the city. The breakfast was excellent good choice and fresh. Staff were helpful and friendly. Disappointed that there was little prior notification of the refurbishment work going on. The jack hammer noise during the day reverberated throughout the hotel, with no offer of any compensation to the guests
Staff were excellent, the location had very easy walk to restaurant, bars and attractions. Even though the property is older the hotel is very well maintained.
I travel to Darwin for work and this is my go-to spot. The pool is lovely. I wish they had chrome cast as I stay in and relax after work, but I still like it.
