Best hotel in town, avoid summer
Pros:

The best hotel in town, not a real 5* but a very good 4*. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Uluru. Great restaurant, bar and room service options, lovely staff, quiet vibe and comfy beds.

Cons:

Not really the hotel’s fault but it does get excruciatingly humid during summer and if you can’t withstand intense A/C like me it’s harder to enjoy the rooms. The corridors are not 5*. Trolleys are left unattended all over the place and the painting/floors need refurbishing.

Standard of room

Cons:

Reception needs to be for rapid checking only, if people want to ask about other things then don't do it when bus load of people trying to check in

Good spot but very pricey
Pros:

For the limited supply of places to stay, this location was very good. It has a pool and nice big eating area and solid restaurant. The rooms were spacious and well kept.

Cons:

Our buffet dinner was over $150 which is crazy for 2 people. The whole experience was pricier than 5 star hotels I’ve stayed in in the biggest cities in the world with the latest amenities.
