Cooinda Holidays from AU$1,688

Great stay with the family, affordable and spacious.

Room had a terrible musty mouldy smell. Our room was very dated, old wooden furniture and curtains. No fresh air available. The mugs were very stained and there was no clock. The bathroom was newly renovated, but the tiles in the shower were slippery.

Stayed in a 1 bedroom studio apartment at Ramada Suites by Wyndham Zen Quarter Darwin for 2 nights. The staff were very friendly and the room itself was clean and comfortable. One of the reasons I chose the hotel was because the apartment included laundry facilities, so it was disappointing that the washing machine in my room was already damaged prior to my stay and had not been replaced before check-in. Reception did kindly offer to do my laundry, which I appreciated, but I didn’t end up using the service as there were only 2 lifts servicing the entire building, making trips up and down during peak times quite frustrating due to the long waits and also because of my tight schedule and reception is not 24/7. On a positive note, the rooftop bar was lovely with a great atmosphere. Overall, a decent stay with a few inconveniences.

The apartment was great. Roomy, clean and very comfortable. All you needed to cook a simple meal. Good coffee at the Bakery across the road. Bit of a hike to a supermarket as the fine Foods store is pretty pricey.

We will absolutely be staying here again. We were over the moon with the helpfulness of the staff, the cleanliness of the room, the upkeep of the property (including pools) and the gorgeous location.
