Oaks Darwin Elan Hotel

Cost was quite reasonable - although it was the low season (February). The room was clean and a good size, facilities are adequate, breakfast was good, location is perfect for an overnight stay to attend an event in Darwin CBD. We found a free street parking spot right outside the hotel entrance, but that could be hit and miss at busier times.

View was wonderful with a nice balcony. Room was spacious and clean. Bed was comfortable with lots of pillows. Location was perfect. It was away from most of the noisier areas but close enough to walk to bars and restaurants.

The room was very nice and clearly care taken to furnish nicely. I like the way the bedroom was partly enclosed. I had a great balcony and views from the 19th floor. The bed was super comfortable. The kitchen was reasonably equipped. The desk space was excellent, and such a nice spot to work....right next to the views out the balcony door. I always have to work when I go away and the wifi worked just fine. The gym was fairly basic, but had a few cardio machines and some free weights.

Stayed in a Harbour View room - room was comfortable and clean, and had a great view from the balcony. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast is basic but sufficient. The location is excellent; there is a great bakery downstairs (Ben's) and it's within walking distance of supermarkets and restaurants.

Arrived very late due to cancellation of original flight by Jetstar. Check in at one in the morning was as easy as any other time. Parking in the same building, though a touch complicated, was accessible on every floor through the hotel elevator system making transfer of bags unusually easy. Shared laundry was located in corner of car park next to lifts and was also quick and accessible with some chairs if you wanted to wait. Nice pool but no pool bar. Breakfast was good, we had continental included but cooked breakfast was optional add on. Dinner menu was the standard Aussie mid range affair cooked and presented nicely for a reasonable price. Location was excellent between sea front and shopping both walkable. All major attractions of Darwin were a short drive (you don't want to walk very far in the ongoing heat and humidify and the town does sprawl a bit).
