Basic hotel. Friendly, helpful staff. Loved the continental breakfast. Pool was correctly described as a plunge pool. Limited space to relax around it - 4 loungers. Gym was basic but new carpet smell overwhelming. Room very small. Balcony was so small, only fit one small chair. Good guest laundry. Good hotel if planning to be out each day.

Loved the continental breakfast. The plunge pool was, as it said, just a plunge pool. Little space around it with only 4 loungers. Room is small, balcony so small can only have 1 small chair. OK for drying clothes. Turned off dehumifier as so noisy. We stayed here in 2 short breaks. Suited us as clisd to supermarket and not far to walk to restaurants. Helpful staff.

The room was extremely quiet and it was clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful and kind. The daily cleaning was excelent. Amazing view over the city and to the ocean. The gym was great and the location was very walkable too. The only slight downside was breakfast, as more fresh fruit options would make a huge difference to make it healthier. We would 100% stay again however.

The hotel was very good. Complimentary breakfast basic but adequate. The pool a little small but was never crowded. The room was good size but the bathroom was too compact and the shower was dismal - slippery bath, water pressure hopeless, kept changing temperature and was way too small.

Das Hotel ist ziemlich hellhörig, der Pool ist klein und nicht schön. Beim Frühstück gibt es wenig Auswahl, kein Käse, keine Wurst. Die Zimmer sind in Ordnung, es war sauber, aber wir mussten nach Handtüchern und diversen anderen Dingen fragen, weil die gefehlt haben. Die Lage ist in Ordnung, 2 km zur waterfront oder zum mindil beach. Das Personal war freundlich. Die Tiefgarage ist praktisch, kostet 9 AUD am Tag

A nice stay close to everything and still quiet. The pool is small, but fine. The gym almost with no equipment. The breakfast is mainly toasted bread with jam and a basic yoghurt + juice and coffee. But the beds were nice, everything clean and the service good. So for the price we felt we got a good deal and can recommend as a great base to explore NT from.

Room is spacious, clean and welcoming. Since there are more visitors to Australia, replacing the unique Australia wall power socket to a universal one with USB ports will definitely send a message that the hotel management is visitor-friendly and relevant to their needs.

Le staff était donc peu compétent.

Very small balcony no view on street parking incursa fee and it is difficult to pay through the app. You have to download. Overall it’s probably one of the nicer hotels in the city area. It is very convenient to the grocery stores and restaurants and nowhere is really safe to walk around in the evening unless you’re with a group of people.
