Central to most attractions in Darwin City. Rooms are clean and functional. Only let down is the front entrance with rubbish lying around that you walk through to get inside hotel. It was there when we arrived and still there when we left the next morning. A quick sweep morning and evening would do wonders to improving first impressions.

The hotel is in a great central location, making it easy to explore the city. Unfortunately, the nearby bars played loud music until around 4am, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. The room was also noticeably dusty in a few places.
