This hotel was in a great location to the city of Darwin. Easy walking distance to food and shopping. Wave pool and located near pier and the convention centre. Musty smell but considering the humidity it would be expected. We travelled Aug 2010 so it was considerably awhile ago.

Good hotel in a great location. Easy walk (10 min) into the City. Eating and shopping options nearby. Wave pool on your doorstep. Big grassy area on the waterfront has a safe salt water swimming area which is patrolled by life savers. Can get a bit crowded on the grass but there's plenty of space and ample shade as well....

I had medium level expectations for this hotel and they were met. It wasn't my first choice of place to stay and it didn't wow me enough to say I'm definitely going back, or annoy me enough to say I am definitely not going back. The main reason I am writing a review is to say that despite what several... More

I stayed here for 3 nights with work and had some special needs to achieve work outcomes. The staff were extraordinarily helpful, the hotel amenities are excellent and the location is handy to everything. I have two small children and this would be great for families too.

Good location and price, we stayed 3 nights and got a reasonable deal. From our hotel room there was a good view of the Wave Pool, the Darwin Wharf and the Waterfront Lagoon. There was a short walk to the public transport, tourist information centre, shopping precinct, restaurants, pubs, and the CBD. We booked online and based our decision to... More

I agree with a number of reviewers in respect of the musty smell - considering this hotel is only a few years old it is a little strange. I do think it is exacerbated by carpets, as anyone who has stayed at Skycity will also note. The thing we found strange is that the aircons in the rooms do not... More

This hotel is located in a great position, down on the waterfront, but thats the only thing great about this hotel. The poor service started when check-in staff demanded $100 up front at check in, even thou they had my company c/card details on file.
