We selected this hotel for a three night stay in Darwin as it was central to the venues that we were intending to visit, and more reasonably priced than mid-town establishments. We prepayed, butI was shocked to find that when our AMEX Statement arrived, 3% had been added to what we thought we were being billed. We appreciate that some... More

My stay was only overnight but the staff were very friendly and could not do enough for you. The room was good quality and comfortable. However I did have one problem which was the flat screen TV. For reason better known to the people who set them up they seem to be quite happy only watch the middle of the... More

I stayed here for 5 nights when on business and was working down at the airport. you need to think about whether this hotel would suit your purpose or not cause it is not in town - in fact it is not really near anything. And not within walking distance of the airport - it is about 1.3Km away up... More

Nice clean room with everything you would need. Close to the Airport 5 mins away. Pub and bottle shop next door. Great if you are flying out early in the morning. Lots of parking and lifts if you did not want to walk the stairs.

After getting off the plane to unbearably high humid heat, it was such a relief to be greeted by friendly staff in a cool office and even more satisfying to enter a cold executive room (air con set on 19 degrees) which was sooooo inviting! Spacious, clean and modern, I was even more happier to find a pub and bottle... More

We stayed here for 3 nights. Very helpful and friendly staff. We had a problem with wi-fi connection at first but they fixed it promptly. The place was quiet and driving distance from beautiful sunsets at the beach. It's also nearby a liquor store and a restaurant called Airport Hotel Jingili where I had fish and yummy ceasar salad.

Returning home from holidays we needed somewhere close to the airport after a late afternoon arrival before heading off in the morning. This hotel offers complimentary shuttle bus to/from the airport; however we did not use this service. On entering the room we checked the air-conditioner settings and found it was set on 20 degrees. (We were told by the... More

We stayed here on our last night of our trip before a very early flight home. Check in was quick and efficient. The room was spacious and very modern. The hotel seems very new. Our room was clean and new with plastic still on the corner chair. Bathroom was as close to new as you get. Super comfy bed, balcony... More

Arrived at 2 a.m. and were picked up by the courtesy airport shuttle - very convenient. Room was rather stuffy, maybe due to the generally hot and wet climate, otherwise fine. New bathroom, little balcony onto busy road, nice staff. Hotels in Darwin are expensive, so was this one. Breakfast would have cost us an arm and a leg, so... More
