    You can hear foyer noise in your room. Can get a bit loud sometimes.

    The rooms are lovely. The bed very comfortable and nice pillows. Modern bathroom and nice bathroom products to use.

    No written information on the hotel. Eg how to get pool towels, restaurant menu etc. link to info would have sufficed. The main issue was the scam emails from the hotel via Booking.com. They had correct booking reference and name. Has the hotel been hacked?Or has booking.com been hacked? I got these soon after booking and even got one the day I checked out offering an upgrade. Booking.com claim it is the hotels issue. I imagine the hotel is concerned that booking.com forwards these to customers.

    Location. Pool. Coffee. Beds were clean and comfortable. Shower was large and clean. Toiletries were nice.

    Barista coffee should be included in the cost of breakfast, like most top hotels. Bacon at breakfast was completely dried out.

    Very good, large pool. Breakfast on the terrace overlooking the pool. Easy walk to town. Staff responded quickly to requests. e.g providing a 2nd suitcase rack in the room.

    The breakfast selections were second to none. The temperature just needs to be dialed up a bit.

    Have stayed here many times over the past 25 years. The standard of service is consistently excellent and the pool is the best in Darwin. Recent upgrades to the hotel room bathrooms and the swimming pool area have been thoughtfully and tastefully done.

    I would like to see more dinner menu options. We would have eaten there more often if there was more variety.

    The staff were amazing. They were so helpful and always able to assist with any needs. The pool was also fantastic with plenty of room for adults and children.

    Be aware the carpark is a bit of a walk.

    After reading some of the comments we were unsure if to stay. I am glad we did; we could not fault the hotel re the room, it was clean, has been updated, comfortable and the facilities are excellent. The staff were very nice and helpful, and the pool was fantastic. We enjoyed the restaurant so much we ate there the next day as well. Breakfast was amazing and catered for everyone. Definitely want to come back to the NT and stay there again.
