"Staff were nice and helpful. Beds were cheap foam mattresses on slats that you could feel when you slept and moved. It felt very unsafe on the top bunk. There didn't feel like there were enough showers and toilets for the number of beds. Booked for 2 nights and left after only 1."

5/5 Excellent
"We were in an Ocean View room - it had to be the best outlook of hotels in Darwin. Dining options were good & not overpriced. Breakfast on the balcony with ocean views at The Vue was great start to the day."
