Had a two-night stay at Darwin city This is a very comfortable hotel and reasonable for the price Located within walking distance for the Mall, Waterfront (0.8km), restaurants and supermarkets. It is a great location. Rooms are clean with all the amenities you need. Beds very comfortable. Rooms are well airconditioned for the Darwin temperatures. Apparently, it has a gym and pool, but I didn't try or see these. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Read below why I gave this a low score!!!!!!
