The room is too small and there is mould on pillows and pillow cases where you sleep so be weary of staying here
Melissa, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

We will never stay there again . I took photos of the unbelievable condition of the room nr 61 we stayed in . I sent the manager an email with the photos attached and have still not heard anything back . People need to be warned about this place .

Central, clean

Its clean, central accommodation. Access during roadworks is hard to find but once you know, its ok. Compact, clean rooms. Comfortable bed.
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean and tidy with all the essentials included. Very central location. Its a cheaper than some and so attracts a mix of cients. And its on the edge of the area where bands etc happen. Would be great option for backpackers and those wanting a compact place to sleep.
Claire, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Close to shops, clean, comfortable, and staff were responsive.
Sana, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff were good, super easy to walk to the CBD and public transport, room and the general facilities were clean (didn't use the pool/kitchen/laundry, so can't comment on these). This is a budget hotel, so don't expect much in terms of room size or frills. Despite it looking slightly dodgy from the outside, it is well secured, didn't feel unsafe once. Room smelt very very stale, I think that the air conditioner filter needs to be cleaned. The rooms are not soundproofed, so you can hear doors banging, and if you're lucky enough to be next door to a very loud snorer you'll hear that as well. However, for the price it was really good, has everything that you need for a decent sleep

If ur coming to Darwin this is the place to stay clean location location very affordable I give it a 9 plus out of 10
Peter, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

It was difficult to locate property at first, as it was located off a lane behind the street that was advertised. The room itself was basic only, similar to backpackers which was located next door. About $50 cheaper.
GARRY, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It's very close to Mitchell St, but the reception is located across two streets away, which isn't convenient when you have to haul your bags two blocks to check in. I had an early checkout as well. I was told to leave my swipe card in the room, but I had to walk around the block to meet my transport to the airport, as I couldn't use the Mitchell Street exit without a card. Also, the dryer requires $6 to operate. I didn`t have enough change, and it took my money. A sign saying it requires a minimum $6, would be very helpful
russell, 4-night trip

2/10 Poor

This place is misleading in advertising . It is a second build Ing behind the main hotel that is actualey a back packers . It backs onto Mitchell Streek next door to pubs, and other backpacker hostels . Night life rages on until 5am and it gets wild . Lots of loud party music and banging doors , people screaming loudly . By 8am the street sweepers have done their job and the streets are deserted and safe again .Rooms are tiny unappealing cells with a tiny bathroom that was basic . Think of a jail cell and you get the picture .The room was basically clean. When you eventually found Reception which is in the main building not the back packers were friendly but sworne to secrecy about the other building out the back . I was told to go down the corridor and through the door . . Thank God you are here runs through my brain as i step out the door .

Excellent location with budget price

Excellent location with budget price. I literally just slept in the bed for about 6 hours and took off very early in the morning, the hotel provided everything I needed.

Service was excellent by the staffs, we had a faulty A/C and they immidiately moved us to another room.

6/10 Good

Room stunk of cigarette smoke but apart from that was a good place to stay
Luke, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Thankfully we only stayed half a night as we had the midnight check in for our flight home. The staff were wonderful and very accommodating however our room was less than ordinary at best. Apart from a few cockroaches walking around, the blanket that was folded up on the shelf next to the bed smelled like it had never been washed……ever. We did however have front row seats to a couple of locals punching on in the street literally just below us. The music from the surrounding hospitality venues was LOUD. The rooms are tiny and the shower is an odd shape and if you’re on the larger side, good luck getting in and then out again. My partner and I are adamant that we will never ever stay there again.

It was value for money. Clean and basic. All I needed to short stay.

There was load bangs from the doors closing and I could other guests talking in the hallway late into the night.
Neil, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Clean and tidy. The smallest and most basic room I have ever stayed in. Too expensive for what it is, could have had similar experience at a back packers. Bring your own pillows. Recently stayed in a suite in Cable beach for the same price.
