Darwin Rates Act Area Holidays from AU$940

It’s cleanish, but old and tired in places and as a result not clean looking. For example the corners of the shower and drain areas. The bed is tiny, if you were expecting a king / queen like most hotels then you’ll be disappointed. Parking is first come first in, 10pm on a Fri night and there was nowhere for us to park. There is nothing around you within walking distance. Staff are friendly, but the young guy who booked us in wasn’t very happy or helpful. The cafe is only open till 10.30am, nowhere during the day to get coffee without driving somewhere, there are no coffee makers in the room only instant. Cafe food is very poor, not nice at all, very expensive, we ordered a big breakfast between us, poached eggs weren’t cooked properly, bacon almost resembled microwave bacon, very thin and cheap quality, beans were hard and no taste, I’m assuming there attempt on home made ones. Sausages, were 2 small hot dog looking things smothered in what we can only assume was gravy, they were not nice. To sum the breakfast up, we paid $40 for 2 lattes half a slice of toast each and a snotty poached egg. On the plus side, every second day our towels and dish towel were changed for clean ones, the girl was lovely and friendly and couldn’t do more to be accommodating. The washing machine in the room was so handy and the airer. Although a small washing line and pegs would have been more helpful. Overall we had a lovely time in Darwin, and the hotel, whilst not the best it was ok.

Great location, close to a lot of restaurants and bus station.
