Perfect location if you have an early flight.
This hotel is right next to Darwin International Airport which makes it a great place to stay if you have an early flight or an overnight transfer. It's just a few minutes' drive to the terminal entrance from this place.
positive:
Free airport shuttle bus is a bonus!
Make use of the complimentary airport shuttle bus when you stay here and save yourself from paying a taxi fare to get to the airport. It runs regularly so just ask at reception to find out the departure schedule.
positive:
Top notch service from all the staff.
The people working at this hotel do an absolutely stellar job of taking care of you while you stay here. They are friendly and courteous, ready to help with any requests that you might have.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Thin walls mean you could be disturbed easily.
The soundproofing here is rather poor, so much so that you can often hear people having conversations in the hallways and even the rooms next to yours. Make sure you pack some earplugs if you need an early night.
negative:
They make you pay to use the Wi-Fi
It's a real shame that this hotel insists you pay extra on top of the room rate to use the Wi-Fi in your room. Many cheaper hotels offer free Wi-Fi as standard, and so should this place.
negative:
Not enough maintenance being carried out.
Unfortunately this hotel is not being looked after properly and the lack of maintenance is contributing to its tired appearance. Some renovation work and sprucing up here and there would do this place the world of good.
