This was a very comfortable stay. The room was large and clean with a comfortable king bed. The kitchenette was very good. The pool area was much better than expected. The bathroom was clean and functional but was perhaps a little tired. Very convenient parking. Gated for security which was great. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again when next in Darwin

The room was very clean and functional and aircon worked. One of the cleanes we stayed in. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Bonus getting free parking especially in a city , but we were there early afternoon and it is first come first served . However the pool was a disappointment. It was very hot and i looked forward to a swim but it was too murky for my comfort.

Great location, quiet, away from the busy streets yet close enough to walk to all shops and tourist attractions in town. Lovely pool to cool off in, nice to have towels provided. Close to nearby restaurants and takeaway outlets. Easy walk to public bus stops, botanic gardens and the Mindal Beach Market. Only downside was breakfast, expensive and not very nice. Apart from that we would definitely stay here again and would recommend Vitina Studios for excellent budget accommodation.
