Pros:

Outstanding view of the harbour and Darwin CBD. Very comfortable room. Staff were very helpful and friendly. I recommend ordering barramundi from the restaurant and eating it on the balcony as the sun sinks and the city lights come on.

Cons:

I couldn't get the ironing board to collapse. That's it. Loved everything else.

Good option for Darwin
Pros:

Spacious living room

Cons:

Bathroom a bit cramped with washing machine.

Soacious serviced apartment hotel with facilities onsite (parking, breakfast - additional cost).
Pros:

Nice and spacious, good outlook from the balcony, good amount of parking (however at a fee - should be included for that price), small gym and nice pool, breakfast ok.

Cons:

Very pricey per night stay plus charged for parking on top, building looks tired and could do with a refurb for the price you pay, breakfast could do with some more options. TV in lounge was faulty. Pool towels weren’t provided.
