Lovely staff/owners, shower completely unusable due to mould. Booked as a stay before red-eye flight, not suitable at all. Lovely staff.

The property is old but maintened well. The only issue was cockroaches, but hard to manage in Darwin & not unreasonable to see some. Owner/Manager helpful and accommodating. Good value for the price.

It was close to esplanade. It was tiny rooms and cost too much for one night. Dirty soap left in shower cubical toilet seat up? If Cleaned at all. Rickety and old could do with demo and rebuild!

for a budget hotel, it was basically OK. close to the city and easy to get to. The unit itself was poorly maintained compared to other hotels I have stayed in. very poor parking facilities, 25 units and only 5 off road spaces. bed was very uncomfortable.

Great value for price. Very helpful and friendly staff, great area.
Lisa, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Upon arrival @ property we were horrified at the state of the outside. It looked like a prison, dirty & unkept. I wouldn’t let my dogs go in there. Therefore we didn’t even go in & decided to look at alternative accomodation even though we weren’t able to get a refund from them. I’d rather forfeit $ than step foot in the place.
