Overall we had a good experience with our say. On our final night, we had quite of bit of noise from coming from a neighbouring guest's room. We ended up loosing sleep on our final night. We did not have a chance to mention this concern with the staff at reception. Reception was not open. We had to get on the airport shuttle 5 minutes before reception opened. We ended up leaving our room keys in our room. Simply could not personally give it to reception staff at check out. Outside of this issue staff was very helpful with our needs extra towels, organising repairs to our room TV when the TV lost reception. The maintenance staff got our TV repaired within 2 hours.

A good stop over for 1 night before our trip room was basic but clean and had everything we needed. Close to the luttke shopping zone which was handy. Staff at the hotel were friendly and efficient. There is a nice pool area but was too cold for swimming during our stay. Price is high but all the hotels are at a premium in Uluru.

3 stars for the price of 5

Basic 3 stars hotel with a 5 stars price tag, as all other establishments near Uluru - requiring unacceptable prices for mediocre services.Nice pool area though and location just near town square is also an advantage.

The hotel was OK, but it felt overpriced for what it offers. Also, we had a bad experience with the room service, and it was difficult to communicate with the staff. The reception hours are limited, and we had to go to another hotel to address our concerns.

Uniquely this hotel has all rooms with no proper windows, just opaque glass from shower room and toilet. This felt claustrophobic and dark during daytime. In the night it was impossible to get the room dark for sleeping as there are lights outside on two sides shining through glass and around the door. There are no curtains or blinds. This didn’t suit me as I can’t sleep in a light room. Overall the hotel is nice, modern and clean so it’s a shame.

Plenty of gift shops & restaurants. Friendly staff. Clean rooms. Water pressure was very low. Which meant a 4 min shower was almost impossible. Need a small stool next to bed. Need a bit more storage. Ie shelving, hooks, etc. otherwise we had a very comfortable stay.

Most of the rooms have no windows, a fact I might have missed in the reviews. They did transfer me to a room with windows but no hot water. My request to address this met with no success. The staff was very pleasant, but 3 days without a shower is too much.
