To Darwin for two nights with work. Darwin Central has a great location right in the centre of the CBD and everything you could want, shops, bars, restaurants is within a 100m walk. Room fine, clean modern, non-descript. Good shower. Friendly staff. Slightly odd design with a food court at the bottom but this didn't cause any issues. I think... More

This hotel is in central Darwin opposite from the mall and close to shops and restaurants. Booked in for one night after driving from Cairns to Darwin. While reception was busy with a conference and bus tour check-in was efficient and staff were friendly. Our room was large with queen bed, lounge and small kitchenette. Bathroom was huge.

Centrally located. I spent three nights in Darwin, and had no problems whatsoever with the room, the staff or any of the service. The room was quiet, the staff were helpful on the couple of occasions that I had need of their assistance, and the rate was reasonable.

Good hotel in the middle of town, staff were pleasant. The breakfast was full buffet and delicious. Brekky was also free. Room was about $130 a night and was fine for 2 people except no balcony which is annoying.
