May look underwhelming from the outside, but rooms are comfortable and very well-priced. Staff demonstrate the best of Australian hospitality and knowledge of the city. Nicely located near great restaurants and tourist spots in the middle of the city, but far enough from noisy night clubs. We had a pleasurable stay.

Stayed at the hotel for two nights in early September. I chose the hotel for it's central Darwin location and it met that requirement. It is an old style hotel with rooms facing outwards to a shared balcony / walkway. I had a room at the rear of the venue and it was quiet. It is walking distance to restaurants... More

I was very dissapointed with the Poinciana this time as I have stayed here before and found it OK.....just. It used to be cheaper and value for money, particulalry compared to other Darwin accommodation. I booked via email and after 3 reminders finally got a confirmation. I arrived and there had been a stuff up with the booking and we... More

Hi, sorry it has taken so long to reply, we are very new at this and yes the very busy time you booked in we did make some mistakes but were upfront with options and regret, unfortunately the room price is set at a premium time in Darwin, wishing you all the best. More

I will start by the advantage of this hotel because there was only one. The location was great. Regarding the defaults, this hotel was way overpriced for what it is, a random motel with really basic rooms. (not bad, not good) The receptionist was NEVER there and therefore it was impossible to access any of the facilities that this hotel... More

Hi, In regards to NEVER being in reception i would argue that point, sorry, reception hours are well signed as 7am - 6pm and if we are attending a guest therefore not behind the desk alternative options are also well signed. The pool does not need reception to acess it . We cannot be responsible for personal calls and messages... More

What a fabulous place to stay!!!

Although we had informed the hotel one of us would arrive at 5am, when I arrived the reception was locked & when I rang the number provided, I was told to just wait until 7am when reception would open. I was then told I'd have to pay $170 (ie the rate for the night before) to be able to check... More

Brother and sister welcome you with a smile - how important is that. While the accommodation is basic and quite old, it is clean and comfortable. Really at the end of the day what more do you want. Can not fault the location and would stay at this hotel again without hesitation.
