Good for one night. Longer stays look elsewhere.

Ok for one night but there are better places to stay in Darwin. No room service although the website said there was. Hotel element was clean, but apartment (e.g utensils etc.) was not. Ok, but a bit tired.

Centrally located this hotel is close to shops and places to eat. We had a two bedroom apartment which was very spacious and good value. The washing-machine was leaking and the staff quickly located us to the next door apartment which was appreciated. While the rooms seem fairly new, there is wear and tear in places. Would stay again as it's hard to find affordable apartment options in the CBD for families.
