My husband booked a superior queen room through a local travel agent. On arrival we were booked into a room with twin beds. We requested a queen bed and were given a room that we considered barely adequate. Our stay was for 6 nights and there was only one chair ..no table. The shower leaked, the sink blocked and the...

Stayed for a week. Fantastic reception staff. I was in the east wing, take a packed lunch. When you finally get to your room, it's clean and tidy, but dated though. Comfortable bed. The hotel is on the esplanade, but very few rooms face the sea. The rest have awful views. The pool, great but only have about 10 sun... More

Thank you for your feedback and in particular your comments about our Front Desk team and the excellent service that they extended to you. The pool area can prove to be quite popular and I apologise that all of the sun loungers were in use by other guests when you went to the pool deck. This is currently under review.... More

A properly working shower is one of the essential standards for a quality hotel. The room I stayed in (for a week) failed dismally in this regard and several requests to rectify the problem went unanswered. Fellow workers who have stayed at this property agreed that issues with plumbing are not uncommon...

We stayed for 4 nights.The room was large, clean, good air conditioning and bathroom supplies restocked each day. Close to city centre but also quiet and has a huge pool and staff friendly. The price is a bit expensive considering the decor that is a bit tired, but it is Darwin after all. Would stay again

Very comfortable air conditioned rooms. Great amenities. I loved the pool. Fitness room was a bit puny (small and not particularly well equipped). Very nice breakfasts.

Whilst the location of this property is excellent on the Esplanade the rooms particularly the bathrooms are tired and in need of some attention. Staff were helpful although were unable to provide much tourist information when booking in on a Sunday.

I as did 3 others stat at hotel for one night, all separate rooms. No complaints all apparently had a good night. My room was comfortable and very quiet, clean and well maintained. Check out was quick and efficient, not the case in many places. The name was being changed as we booked out to Hilton, hope the standard remains.
