Basic done well.
Pros:

Good location, nice quiet shady street, easy to find. Basic but very clean and very comfortable. Staff are friendly and helpful. If you needed a mobility aid the bathrooms are very accessible and spacious.

Cons:

It would be nice to have easy access to stairs so you don't have to wait for the two very slow lifts.
Minimal power points/access to power points for chargers etc.
Nothing really to be upset about just a very minor inconvenience.

OK but ask for a walk in shower on the upper floors
Pros:

Our room was on the forth floor was good until the fire alarm went off. Good view from our window. Good swimming pool.

Cons:

You can hear all the noise from the rooms next to you and in the corridor, that makes sleeping harder than it should be.
Breakfast was a continental breakfast so it was not much, you could purchase a hot breakfast each morning for an extra $10 which I didn't think it was worth it

OK for short stays
Pros:

The location was great, walking distance from the city but far enough away from the city noise

Cons:

The bath shower.
Also all the floor were tiled including the corridors which amplified any noise this included any noise from the cleaning staff at 5:30am

Well located with good facilities
Pros:

Well located within reasonable walking distance to Darwin CBD and bus stops. Large rooms with a small balcony. Comfortable bed. Iron and ironing board in the room as well as a kettle, milk and tea and coffee. Good buffet breakfast included. Luggage storage available. Toiletries were provided.

Cons:

There was a connecting door between my room and the next room and it wasn’t soundproof. So noise from this room and the corridor was audible which was a problem during the night.

Godt til prisen
Pros:

Ser nyistandsat ud, og var nydeligt rengjort.
P-kælder er praktisk i en P-fjendlig by.
Venligt og effektivt personale.
Ligger i roligt kvarter, men stadig indenfor gå-afstand til restauranter.

Cons:

En del larm fra AC, som er obligatorisk at have tændt.
Dertil var der på dette specifikke værelse meget larm og stank fra udluftning fra køkkenet.
Når badeværelset er så lille, som det er, så er det dumt at spilde plads på et badekar. Det ville have gavnet med flere hylder og håndklædekroge.
Tekniske vanskeligheder tvang alle gæster ud på gaden lørdag morgen kl. 7. Det er ikke alle, der synes om den slags.

Pros:

Very clean and tidy, close to shops

Cons:

Shower was very slippery, had a mat in it but I felt this only added to the slip problem, I removed it while having a shower.
A biscuits in the room may have been nice
