Perfect Darwin short term holiday rental

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 10 June 2021
The accommodation was on Mitchell St, which is a busy 'party' street in Darwin but at a quiet end. This was ideal. It is a large complex, some 14 or so floors and we stayed on floor 6 - about half way. We rented a studio room. It was compact but comfortable. The room had a shared laundry (with the next room) with free washing powder. The room and facilities all very modern so very welcoming. We didn't use the wifi, but it was available and free. There is a fridge, micro/combi conventional oven and tea and coffee making facilities in the room too. As well as a TV and air conditioning. There is also a safe deposit box as well. There is a bar and restaurant on the Ground Floor. Everything you need.

The location is great for a base in Darwin whilst you walk around and see the sights of the city and enjoy everything Darwin has to offer.

The staff were very accommodating and that included giving us a later check out (11am instead of 10am) and looking after our bags on the last day.

Location wise, facility wise and comfort wise it was all good and we would stay again. Another great feature is FREE off street parking. Perfect.

There was no toaster! We had to use the combination micro/conventional oven to do our toast which took forever.

We had a shared entrance so it was noisy when people in the next room came through the main entry door (i.e. Door 613, then it separated into 613a and 613b).

The air conditioning, whilst working, seemed to not get the temperature of the room low enough. The sun and heat come through the large window and the room gets pretty hot. We set the air con to 22c but it never got there.

We were charged a higher credit card surcharge than advertised on the Booking.com confirmation (1.5% instead of 0.6%). I did query this and got a refund for the difference but beware. Hopefully they will update their terms and conditions on the Booking.com website.

We paid a lot for what was supposed to be a special treat . Thinking we might get so little extras . You get none.

Firstly the room we had there was no views only rooftops, no balcony and almost no furniture .

The bathroom was as big as the bedroom, which is crazy .This is because it’s a disabled bathroom , why is that? We are not disabled . Complete with rusty shower seat . Zero storage anywhere in the bathroom and a light above the mirror with no switch to turn it on . So you couldn’t see when getting ready .

The bed had no bedside lights , not even one bottle of water or a packet of biscuits - and only 2 towels .

And when you try to go to the pool there are never ever enough chairs - 6 banana lounges , and maybe 4 hard plastic chairs and one tiny table . I feel sorry for the staff that try hard . But this place has been built and is run on the cheap .

Save your money and stay somewhere else .

Room tip: Ask for a non disabled bathroom ( if they exist )

We stayed for just over a week in May.
Positives - large space with all appliances needed in a kitchen. Spacious balcony and large television in the bedroom. Great location on Mitchell street.
Cons- slight mouldy smell in the corridor and can be stuffy in the rooms even with the aircon on.
We asked for a room refresh early morning and staff didn’t come until 3pm after we had to ask a second time when we had already returned to the hotel.
The bed is super hard with only a sheet instead of a fittest sheet which seemed cheap and annoying. Pillows are terrible.
Staff at front counter needs improving with customer service.

It was a comfortable stay and we enjoyed ourself but for the price there needs to be some improvements.

Just average, would be a stretch to give 4 stars. Slow wifi (4Mbps download at 10pm). Smelly airconditioning. Kitchen with almost no dishes. Just instant coffee (no pods for example). Very basic.

Good for one night only
