What guests think

At The Leea Resort Darwin, travellers consistently praise the central location, friendly staff, and relaxing tropical pool, while noting rooms can feel dated, some maintenance is needed, and recent renovations or facility changes have occasionally affected expectations.

Cleanliness is generally good, but several reviews report mould, stained linens, or areas that would benefit from deeper cleaning. Dining feedback is mixed, with some enjoying breakfast and meals or the pool bar, while others find choices limited or prices high. A practical mid-range stay with clear strengths and some compromises.

I booked under Travel lodge. Was given no notification of the change in management or terms and conditions. We Stayed recently with family in apartments. Accomodation was ok although when a family member went to reception to report some problems about the upstairs TV not working and a broken toilet seat he got shot down so nothing got down. We also had to ask for more utensils in the kitchen, had to have the mattress replaced. The bathrooms need bleach for mould and a good clean. A good deep clean is needed. Had to get someone to come and connect the internet. The TVs upstairs are not in a stable fixed location so if the fell could cause damage or harm to someone downstairs. Facilities in the kitchen area need to have more cooking utensils. A shame the BBQ had been removed. The pool area is beautiful and very relaxing, the staff at the pool bar were great. Street sweeper in early hours of the morning is annoying as they are very noisy

Even though this property is listed as a “resort” it is conveniently located in the downtown area of Darwin, easily accessible to local bus, grocery store and other shopping as well as other sights. Our room was very clean and there was coffee and tea in the room as well as a refrigerator. The air conditioning was easy to set to a comfortable temperature and the room was spacious, including a table and chairs. There is a lovely pool on the premises, but although there are a series of steps to enter, there are no railings so I could not get in and out safely by myself, which was disappointing. The other amenity missing was an ice machine - if you want ice for drinks in your room you can only ask for a plastic cup half full of ice from the bar during their service hours. If we had the opportunity to return to Darwin we certainly would consider staying here again. Very good value.

I was really disappointed with my recent stay at Travelodge Darwin. This has been our regular place to stay when we come to Darwin every few months. The room we stayed in was not in good shape at all. Rubbish was left in the bin on arrival, the toilet roll holder was broken and hanging off the wall, the towel rail was broken and coming away from the wall, the soap dispenser in the shower was broken, there was mould on the front door, toys and rubbish were found behind the curtains and upon arrive he were informed that there was now a $10 a day cost for parking now, which was not advised or was it apart of my booking information. I was really disappointed with how quickly the new renovated rooms have been broken and not looked after. Outside the ground around the hotel and car park are run down and have long grass and weeds growing in them.

Negatives: Upon checkin- i was not advised of where the gym was or other facilities. No notice of what time pool opens or closes. No map of surrounding area. No information. Just directions to my room. Not sure if it was because it was late at night?? I found the desk in my room to have stains, and hair was found in the bathroom. the vents in the bathroom were disgusting. The doona was stained yellow-although it was covered with a top and bottom sheet- i was hot and wanted to sleep with only one sheet- big mistake! The doona was disgusting. The doona really should be discarded. Not impressed with the cleanliness. Pool-more lightning required by the pool with the water feature. Clean up of leaves and debris around the pool- as it was being blown into the pool or stepped on and carried into the pool. Positive: Gated hotel-feel more secure. Location: 15min walk to the waterfront. Opposite a supermarket. About a 4-6 minute walk to a few pubs. Loved the pool area. Plenty of deck chairs. Lots of seating area in the lobby. Good size bedroom. Very comfy bed.

The staff in certain areas seemed to be untrained, especially in food service areas. The room we were in first was extremely noisy with slamming doors, screaming and fighting going on all night. We were moved to another block and it was much better. The room cleaning and servicing was terrible until a new lady took charge and for the first time the room was done perfectly. Continental breakfast was cornflakes, coco pops and fruit. The croissants were often all gone and not replaced. Expensive cornflakes at $20!
