The hotel seems to cater to the tour group market, where they know they are guaranteed the business. The rooms are tired but okay ish. But the attitude seems to be " near enough is good enough". "It doesn't matter if you're not impressed because frankly another bus load of suckers will be right along tomorrow."We stayed here for 20... More

This hotel is relatively good value in terms of accommodation and food charges but is let down by the idea of charging for either internet usage and/or for paying with a credit card (or any sort). On the positive side the "Smile" promotion where a two course dinner and full buffet breakfast is offered for $55 per head is excellent... More

I feel bad giving this a three because the reception staff (one particular bloke) were outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble and he should be congratulated. Sorry I dont recall his name. The down side was that the rooms were a bit tired but still comfortable and clean. One thing they should mention is that when you open the window... More

We agree with many of the previous reviews that the hotel is rather tired and shabby and in need of refurbishment. On our arrival we found that the hotel had no reservation for us despite our printed confirmation of our online booking. The receptionist was initially rather brusque but after waiting about 15 minutes and following a phone call to... More

Accommodation is very limited in Kakadu/Jabiru, so Gagudju was the only choice. The room was large and clean, however very tired looking. The door to the bathroom wouldn't shut. The pool surrounds are in need of maintenance. They don't advertise that you can purchase drinks from the "makeshift" bar to drink poolside. We were asked to make a reservation for... More

Choices are limited in Kakadu and this is reflected in the outrageous prices and general lack of quality control. While the room was reasonable the rest of the hotel was pretty shabby and the perform of staff woeful. When we checked in we were told to walk up the stairs across the top and down the stairs again to get... More

The staff are lovely, however the maintenance of the hotel leaves a bit to be desired. Our room (109) was beautifully furnished and the beds were very comfortable. However the bathroom was neglected, the toilet seat was bubbled and stained - quite revolting. I filled in the guest card and advised the receptionist, however i'm sure i wasnt the first... More

Probably the best hotel you'll find in the Jabiru area, but a bit tired. Friendly, efficient check-in. The reception area is fine, but the common areas, stairwells, corridors etc. leave much to be desired. Don't be dispirited as you walk to your room -- the rooms are fine, with effective A/C, even though the corridors are somewhat shabby, dirty and... More

Unfortunatly they had a routine power outage from 3-10am which we were not advised of and not offered any discount... so no fan, a/c or lights. Also the rooms are... More
