Perfect for a short stay
Pros:

We didn't use the facilities much, as we arrived early to dump our bags before seeing the city, and returned late, and left before dawn to fly out. The staff we met were very friendly and accommodating. We liked having the in-unit washer and dryer, but remember to bring your own detergent!

Cons:

It didn't look very appealing from the street.

4 Nights in Darwin
Pros:

Best location, excellent parking too. Staff are friendly and helpful, we were able to leave our luggage as we had a later flight. Clean accommodation, great and much needed airconditioning. The pool is lovely and it was a nice quiet and convenient location. Only 15mins from airport and close to everything. About the same into the city. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and was such a great price too! We were four women on a four night girl's trip. Thank you Alatai Apartments, we highly recommend though we forgot to take photos!

Cons:

We were surprised there were no pool towels, though we were given fresh towels every day but Sunday.

Comfortable stay
Pros:

The location is only a 15–20 minute walk to the CBD, which made it very convenient. The room was clean and comfortable. There’s also an outdoor swimming pool, although I didn’t have time to use it during my stay. The staff were friendly, and Su was always smiling and very helpful. I really enjoyed my stay.

An afforable place to stay, great location and awesome pool.
Pros:

Staff were very helpful. We wound up having to change rooms as the room we were initially in smelled of smoke, but the staff were amazing, and able to move us on the next night (full up the first night). They called as soon as our new room was ready and allowed us to inspect it first and make sure it was ok. The rooms are a good size and the pool is so lovely. We spent a couple afternoons and early mornings in the pool to relax or freshen up. Relatively good location between the CBD, the airport and the Gardens and Mindil, Parap Markets.

Cons:

Just because of the location it can be a bit noisy at night, but nothing carried on too late.
