"Nice hotel a little away from town center but only 10 minute walk. We had a nice view from the 4th floor. Breakfast was included, a little basic but still sufficient. Pool towels were also available for free."

"Great renovation done! Kids play area is a plus if you have kids. Just a bit noisy because of construction going on."

"The goal of this hostel is to party hard: thumping music literally 7 days a week until 11pm at the earliest (seriously, i checked in on a Tuesday and the bass carried to every single room in the hostel). If you are 18 to 21 years old and that’s what you want, this hostel is great for it. For everything else, it is just NOT good. There is no common area other than the area right by the bar/music, so do not expect to be able to sit anywhere comfortable and read a book/watch a movie/calmly talk to anyone. Also, the place is filthy. Bathroom smelled like a barn, kitchen was pretty nasty by the evening each day, rooms were dirty and smelly. The shower doors had gaps so wide that I could make eye contact with people walking by hahahah. Also, NO RECYCLING BINS??? What the hell? Is this the 1970s? Unless I completely missed it somehow, I could not find a single recycling bin, so I had to throw away glass, tin cans, etc. The budget accommodation scene in Darwin is pretty grim, as I doubt the other hostels on Mitchell street are much quieter, and there really are no other options. The staff at MOM however were great, and did their best. Very helpful and accommodating."

"Great location. Basic rooms with comfortable bed. Limited options for breakfast - we eventually found out about the “pool view” cafe in the Novotel (the pool is dry) which had better breakfast options for us as we had small children who only wanted toast and not the buffet breakfast at the Mercure. (We were told it would be $15 for children over 5 (our grandchild is 6) but then other people said they were told it was free.!? Had some trouble with parking - paying guests should be assigned at least 1 car park per room - however this wasn’t the case and we had to park in the “overflow” area across the road and carry our luggage over. Definitely need a car or vehicle to go anywhere. Great new pool but don’t stand on the fake turf on a hot day as it burns your feet! Don’t forget to ask for “Territorian rates” if you are a local - show your drivers licence and get a discount."

"Well, of course, this isn't a 4-star hotel. Don't expect a good resort hotel. It's more like a 3-star resort motel. The rooms are very basic, rather old and shabby. The shared corridor balconies lack privacy. It's better to stay in buildings with a pool view, like the Gardens. It's located far from the city. We were driving, and that wasn't a big deal for us. We were choosing between the Courtyard by Marriott Darwin in the city and the Club Tropical, since they were similarly priced. We ended up staying at both. Of course, the Courtyard is much better in every way. But the Club Tropical has one undeniable advantage: its gorgeous, huge pool. It's beautiful. We stayed on a weekday and were practically alone in it. The staff is friendly. They take a $100 deposit upon check-in. They charged us cash. It's a very strange system where they ask you to pick up your key card under the doormat in front of your room. When we arrived at our assigned room with our luggage, the card was missing from the mat. We had to return to reception. The restaurant offers reasonable dinner prices. Shrimp in a creamy garlic sauce with croutons cost only $19 and were fantastic. We weren't able to try the breakfast buffet, as they don't offer it when they're not busy. A very weak continental breakfast is available for $16, or you can choose from the menu. There are also plenty of barbecue spots on site. A kilometer from the hotel is Lee Point Beach, where you can enjoy a wonderful sunset stroll and watch the sun sink into the ocean."

"Over priced"

"It’s very conveniently located, customer service is excellent, the only thing negative is the service, sometimes they are bit slow but coffee is wonderful, I won’t hesitate to stay here again."

"A simple well equipped room. The location was a bit of a walk from the centre, probably to long at night. The swimming pool was going green, requires chlor shoc and filtration, the TV wouldn't give me any live TV but many apps shown on screen! Very frustrating. But apart from these issues the room was ideal for our needs and the early access was excellent, thank you."

"Great location and service. Counter lady was really friendly and introduced great food places around the area and right at the swimming pool ."
