A real pleasant surprise. One of the best hotels we stayed at on our visit to Australia. The staff were fantastic. Very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean, beds super comfy and quite big. The breakfast was basic but great and started at 5.30am so you could get food before any early morning coach trips. Fab coffee too. This would be my first choice to stay again if I was back in Darwin.

Very helpful staff. Nice and Clean! Breakfast was great. Super comfy bed. Easy walk to town, and easy to park free on the weekends on the street. Laundry in basement was convenient! Pool appeared small but was very nice!
