Great location on the esplanade, nice to walk across the road in the park along the water. Close to pubs and cafes. Room a little dated

Stay elsewhere
Had this trip booked months in advance. Arrived. Very disappointed. Cold showers, only offered by Mantra to shower on another floor. Rooms were not serviced during the 5 nights booked. Had to ask for more coffee etc and only given the absolute bare minimum. Shower/bath needs a step to safely enter, both myself and husband nearly slipped and had to place towel in bath to ensure we didn't again. The price they are asking in comparison to other accommodation is crazy!!! Stay else where!! I recommend looking at the Waterfront Darwin area.

Dear Kim,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am sincerely sorry that your stay did not meet your expectations.
Please accept my apologies for the issues you experienced with the hot water, the servicing of your room and the replenishment of amenities. This is not the standard of service we aim to provide, and I understand how disappointing this would have been.
I also appreciate you bringing your concerns regarding the shower safety to our attention and we have shared this with our refurbishment team for consideration.
We hope we may have the opportunity to restore your confidence in us in the future.
Kind regards,
Terence

Great location and views but staffing and maintenance are lacking
Very well located hotel, near the CBD and Bicentennial Park, with great views over the sea. However, the hotel has only a skeleton staff and no restaurant or cafe. Although the room was clean and comfortable, maintenance is obviously an issue. The cold water taps in the bathroom had extremely hot water despite running them for up to 10 minutes. The room key only worked intermittently, requiring us to go to Reception several times so that we could get into our room. On the last occasion, our door had to be opened manually by the receptionist 'as the battery in the door lock needs replacing. Someone should fix that tomorrow...' The windows were extremely dirty, greatly affecting the view out over the sea.

I have stayed in better hotels in 3rd world countries
Find somewhere else to stay, very old and outdated hotel rooms are appalling, nothing at all like the pictures in the brochure, there is a reason they want you to pay up front as when you arrive and see the disappointment you cant get a refund to find somewhere else to stay.

Poor Service.
Nice room, great view, good location.. but.. we stayed for 6 nights and had ZERO servicing of our room. close to $400 a night and we had the same towels, same dirty coffee cups, no refills on tea or coffee and no laundry facilities in our room as it was a studio. Poor service in a tourist driven town.
I asked at reception and was told that you only service your rooms once a week. Apparently this has been in place since Covid 2020 and has been retained since then. Covid has been over since 2022?
At the very least this should be noted on your booking platform so as to enable your customers to make an informed decision.
No Smart TV??... it's 2026.. apparently
The bar was permanently closed. No welcome drinks for Accor members either.
