Hotels near Alf Blaser Park, Darwin

My stay here was marred by the unnecessarily long check in process involving paperwork that could have been done electronically during the booking process - and my ongoing annoyance at being charged an additional $100 security bond at check in. All in the middle of the night, for a prepaid booking. Was assured the $100 would be refunded the next day, but 5 days later it hasn't been. Phoned the reception to enquire and was told by a rude receptionist that it was my banks problem and that they are entitled to charge this fee ”in case I damaged the room”. I haven't ever been charged more than a $1 holding fee before, so am not impressed with this ”management policy”, particularly given the room was prepaid. The actual room was clean and comfortable, a light breakfast is included which is good value. Parking is an additional charge - it would be very difficult to park here with a large 4WD, the spaces are tiny. I'm really disappointed that the management processes seem to be all about not trusting guests and making staying there a complex process...it's actually a nice hotel that is thoughtfully set up for short stay travellers, but I left with a bad feeling and feel sorry for the night reception staff who have to enforce ”policy”. Everywhere these days there are signs up about abuse not being tolerated...being combative towards paying customers isn't helpful.

This Resort is just off a main road and is located about 22 mins walk to Waterfront which was convenient to the event I was attending. Woolworth is just across the road from the resort which is a bonus! adding to that, an 8 mins walk to take you to cafes, restaurants and bars.

My second stay. It’s a fabulous apartment hotel Very clean, everything you need inc DW and washing machine Pool is Devine Breakfast had all the trimmings The staff were more than hospitable We had drinks in the penthouse bar, and were served complimentary nibbles Whilst the manager made himself known and made us very welcome Love the place will visit again

We stayed in both apartment types of the studio type one bedroom. The main difference other than the size of the room is The studio has only a shower room and the refrigerator has no freezer. There is no washing machine dryer The apartment type had a bathtub, a freezer, a washing machine and a dryer, and a detergent. The laundry was convenient in my room. Convenient location in the center but very quiet There was a supermarket a 1-minute walk away

The hotel is conveniently located in the city centre and is within walking distance of two supermarkets. The apartment can cook its own laundry. The front desk service is warm and friendly. The only thing to note is that the apartment kitchen location will have a small plaque at night. It is recommended that the hotel regularly kill insects. There is no landline phone in the apartment and you need to call the front desk with your mobile phone.

The staff were welcoming and friendly. Dinushka Goonathalake looked after us very well. Having stayed for a conference a previous week we were most appreciative of a lovely room opening onto the park overlooking the bay on our return from adventuring in Arnem Land. Our room was always fresh and light, the bathroom modern. We appreciated access to open air from the small balcony. A good variety of teas was provided. The atmosphere was relaxed, suiting Darwin's tropical feel. Freshly prepared breakfast on the terrace or indoors and excellent coffee available if desired. Easily accessible morning & evening walks in the park along the bay to town and nearby restaurants was an added bonus.

Friendly service and easy checkin - breakfast good and convenient. Pool nice and relaxing area. Walk to everything - enjoyable spot.

The hotel is in a good location, the core area, to the pedestrian street, supermarket, crocodile park and World War II park, the seaside, etc. are relatively close, walk for a few minutes to twenty minutes. I fixed the apartment. When I was ready to wash my clothes at night, I found that the washing machine didn't work. Moreover, there was a kitchen in the washing machine where the former guest was placed inside the kitchen to wipe the tablecloth. Without washing, it was sour and smelly, and I was too lazy to ask the front desk for feedback. Cleaning should be strengthened!

Free WiFi which isn’t the best but does work, no other amenities in the rooms except shampoo/conditioner. Clean rooms not much tv option and the rooms do not block out much noise can hear everything that’s goes on in the halls.

There is no parking lot. It's not convenient to park on behalf of you. Call the front desk in advance by car every day In terms of hygiene, isn’t it sensitive skin, a little allergic Location is not bad
