The property is old but maintened well. The only issue was cockroaches, but hard to manage in Darwin & not unreasonable to see some. Owner/Manager helpful and accommodating. Good value for the price.

This place was (apparently) the place to be a long time ago. Now it is one step off being a ruin. The only good point was that it had rooms for reasonable comparatively cheap rates. The rest of Darwin was booked out at below $300/n.

Could not contact for late check in. I chose to stay somewhere else also due to the reputation and really shocking reviews on this place. Wotif and trip advisor should not be recommending such a place for people to stay. You’re completely leading people to a horrible experience based on your recommendations.. this is bad !
