    • Superior Spa Room with Queen bed and Sofa Bed
    • Stayed 3 nights
    • Submitted from a mobile device

    Mattress shocking on the sofa bed. Unsleepable with springs sticking out. Main mattress was just average and pillows terrible. But it was cleaner than the Novotel rooms. Buffet breakfast needs some work on consistency. Very hit and miss with fruit and supplies. Overall the restaurants need more variety since the Chinese closed down.

    Room was nice enough and beautiful outlook to gardens. Pool nice but spa still broken over 1 year since we were last here. Julian at front desk was exceptional. Some rowdy customers staying causing trouble at night.

    Bungalow was very old and dated. Carpet was extremely stained and should be replaced immediately. No bedside lighting and bedroom to small.

    Close to airport and free shuttle bus. Restaurant / Bistro was good and reasonably priced.

    Pretty average property, it was a great place to stay a few years ago but is losing its appeal.

    The renovations and changes to the reception area (moved to Novotel next door) make a mission out of checking in and out, the pool is in need of aesthetic maintenance but still makes for a nice cool place to enjoy some time.

    The bungalow was clean and in a good location for a 2 night 1 day stopover, located close to the airport so convenience was key.

    My only concern was that for the pricing of the room , that water even a bottle would have been in fridge upon arrival, it is the tropics after all and standard for most places. For visitors coming to Darwin I feel it is needed . Customer service at reception was good , There was a gentleman at the restaurant/ bar who was great, however the trainee behind bar needs further help with customer service skills , we were asked to leave pool area as it closed at seven which I was unaware of quite rudley, I suggest he works on other alternatives, ie suggest we may like to sit at bar or order drinks in room.

    The property was clean and the pool area was excellent, I had the pool villa which was great , it felt very private clean and tidy . We had pizza from room service menu and tried all the desserts which were fabulous, the pizza could have been in oven bit longer however still nice. The next day went and had brunch in the main restaurant, lovely setup and the sandwiches were so good. I live in Darwin was a quick staycation to celebrate birthday, will go back again in the future. .

    Outdated hotel rooms for the price you pay and for the standard you would expect from a Mercure branded hotel Matress is old and needs upgrading

    Very close to the airport terminal and nice outdoor facilities like the swimming pool
