We were fortunate to have an apartment on the 8th level with direct lift access to basement carpark. Although the aircon temperature is non adjustable, with only high & low switch, we still enjoyed a very comfortable self contained apartment with washer/dryer & dishwasher etc appliances. In particular, a very comfortable bed. Also the welcome drink & bonus treats are awesome. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The apartment was very good. The staff were friendly and helpful. Close to all amenities and good views. The only complaint I have was that we were staying for 7 nights and we were expected to pay for parking in the underground parking. Surly for that length of stay there could some compromise.

Seemingly under staffed, outdated, unclean, uncomfortable (bed felt like a park bench), no flyscreen on window (nothing to stop children or people falling out) shower ran out of hot water (assuming the entire hotel must have ran out), room service comes from another hotel for a delivery fee. Bottom line, basic, budget accommodation, check out your expectations before you check in... The location is excellent, 30 minutes walk gets you markets, beaches, mariners, major tourist attractions and 1000 eateries and water holes, if your looking for a quieter spot to eat, wandering further away from the CBD (300m-900m) is a good option with plenty on offer... We won't be back here to stay, but that's just us..

It is a 3 star hotel & I was not expecting 5 star service & amenities. Location is plus plus. Tour buses will pick you up from here. Walk thru back entrance to busy & vibrant night-life life precinct on Mitchell Street. My city room on the 7th floor was spared the street noise. 5 days here on 1st visit to Darwin which is a beaut heritage city with authentic Aussie culture. Pros: # Location # Reception staff helpful # Safe & secure with 2 security coded cards for building & room entry. Cons: #Old & dated air-con drone will keep you awake. Light sleepers beware! I got used to it, thankfully. Any longer - I'd sue for audio impairment! Cool enough but no thermostat remote control. # Soft pillows & bit saggy bed. Ok for me but pax two will test the firmness & comfort. # Clean but dated bathroom with darkened grouting here & there. All looks adequate on arrival. However with room service policy only on 7th day - it becomes annoying. Paying premium for hotel service but treated like an apartment stay. With Darwin's heat & humidity - the towels are used frequently & need changing. Sheets are not changed either which did not bother me much. #Shower is in bathtub & old style deep. Those with mobility issues need to be careful. Handrail is attached. # Trot down to reception to replenish tea or coffee bags. One cup & spoon provided in a pax 2 room. Figure how stained that gets by the 5th day - washing with hand wash & no scrub.. #You are expected to clear the bins by getting down to the basement!! Hello!! You come for a holiday hoping to get away from domestic duties. Pay the peak season hotel room rate only to be subjected to house work & irritations that detracts from relaxation. Accor chain need to address this. Stayed at Uluru in July 2023 in one of their premium resort hotels & found it in the same state of very low upkeep & maintenance. Fake reviews to prop up ratings. My group of friends picked this & I did too. Otherwise- there are plenty of choices on the esplanade or even a little further away. Darwin city is not set on massive city grid blocks like Melbourne is. Easy walk to ocean esplanade views even a little further away.
