    A great short stay in Darwin, enabling us to see around the city and the waterfront.

    Parking at an extra cost.

    A great room with a view over the harbour on a high floor. The whole visit was great with efficient check in, parking and the restaurant in the hotel. The quality of the food and service in the restaurant (Original Australian Kitchen) was absolutely fabulous. Swimming pool in the hotel was not heated but a great place to sit and unwind during the visit.

    Some staff were not forthcoming with information regarding breakfast options/hours. You need to ask questions.

    Great room, comfortable bed. View to ocean and cruise terminal was fantastic. They were kind enough to store our big luggage while we visited Kakadu for a night. Great location as you could walk most places. Breakfast was included and they even packed us a breakfast to go when we left for Kakadu at 6AM.

    Very noisy from both inside the building at all hours, and outside. Couldn’t get the air con to cool the room properly. Poky little bathroom because they’ve squeezed a washer and dryer in right next to the toilet which makes it awkward to use if you’re tall.

    Great view. No charge to check out an hour later than their standard 10am checkout. Convenient pick-up and drop-off spot for taxis and Ubers right out the front. Walking distance to some good places to eat, shops, and the waterfront.

    One of the shower heads needs some maintenance. It had a loose fitting that meant water pressure was compromised.

    This was a room booked at short notice as a base for 4 work colleagues before leaving on a 2am flight. Staff were friendly at check-in and provided additional water bottles for every team member. Some team members used the gym.

    It was fine but certainly not worth the $400 we paid for the night. Breakfast was fine but don't try to change anything on your order.... they eventually facilitated our vegetarian request but there was a fair bit of discussion. Breakfast doesn't include barista coffees.

    Staff was friendly, especially the younger servers during breakfast.

    Very basic apartment, nothing really bad but also nothing exiting. Soundproofing in the building could be better.

    The building is comfortably located near all Darwin’s attractions. The room was spacious for all needs for a short term stay with a balcony (nice view).

    The internet could be better. Using the chromcast to stream your pay TV accounts on the TV kept dropping out. The internet was not good enough to do zoom or teams meetings. Unsure if the internet was interrupted with the war games on at the time and Telstra outage in Coconut Grove.

    We were in apartment 2603, which was the top floor and an end apartment. It was a lovely 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment with full laundry and kitchen facilities. We had unobstructed water views of the fishing boat harbour, and round the windows over Stokes Hill Wharf. It had split system air conditioners in the bedrooms and main living area as well as ceiling fans. You could stream your own paid TV accounts on the TV via chromcast, but it could cut out at times. The internet was okay but for streaming or zoom/teams meetings it would cut out or would not let you join the meeting. There was a gym and outdoor swimming pool. Even though it was Darwin, (and I suppose the cold time of year in the dry), the outdoor swimming pool gets shade from the building so can feel a little cool when you first get in.
