Facilities were decent for the price. Clean room, comfy bed, all the basics included ie. kettle, tea, coffee, shower essentials, fresh towels etc. Room was above the pub with live music until 10pm + drunken guests partied on a bit longer (ear plugs recommended). Pool + location made up for the sleep deprivation.

I was just using this place as a layover spot before I joined my cruise ship. I got in very late after connecting flying from the states. 14 time zones away. Darwin is a wonderful tropical town in the Northern Territory of Australia. Very similar to Hawaii. Very laid back but with all kinds of shopping dining options. This is a bacis only hotel with no frills, a nice swimming pool. Great for I situation like mine.

The room and the hotel in general were OK but rather tired - in need of renovation, even just a good coat of paint would have been beneficial. The lock on the security gate was defective and the key had to be in a particular position but the night porter failed to advise us of this so we had trouble getting in. Other staff were friendly and helpful.
