Plenty of room
Perfect for what I needed, room was big, bed was big, fridge was big. Secure property and perfect location on Mitchell Street with walking access to all that was required. Awesome value for money and having free foxtel was a pleasant surprise/bonus. All in all, way better than I expected.

Good value
The lady running Capitanos was very friendly and helpful. Truthfully I booked Capitanos solely based on the lower price and good reviews. It’s a basic room in a concrete block for a relatively high price, but everything in Darwin was super expensive at the time and I felt I got good value. The bedding was clean and comfortable. The air conditioning and shower worked fine. There was a good fridge in the room. The location is just a bit further from everything than you’d want, but overall the location was okay. We went to the Mindil Beach Sunset Market and the Convention Centre area, both of which were about 10-15 minutes scooter ride from Capitanos. We didn’t use the pool or laundry but they both looked nice.

Stayed for a week and really enjoyed ourselves. Retro style hotel with recent refurbishment in the heart of Darwin CBD. Liked the nautical theme of the pool. Very secure. You are in a two-storey building amongst the tall hotels around, but just one-block back from the Esplanade park where there are great views over the harbour. Friendly and helpful staff - thank you!

The property was exactly as described on the website. The reception staff were very friendly and accommodating. The property is double storey so if you struggle to get a heavy bag up two flights of steps it would be advisable to ask for a ground floor room when booking.

Aircon and pool were brilliant. Once I worked out how to work the tv, so was that. Easy access in and out. Was able to park each night with no issues. Things that might need to be looked into: kitchen blind in my room did not work - cord not attached?, could not use credit card to access the vending machine on 3 seperate occasions.

Comfortable convenience
Close to the centre of Darwin, so easy to wander around the city on foot. Also, easy access to main roads if you want explore Darwin and surrounding areas by car. Manage was friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable and clean. Kitchenette had a microwave, toaster, jug and a good size fridge. Bathroom ok, but showing its age. Need to supply your own shampoo, conditioner and hairdryer.

Location was convenient and was quieter than I might of expected given it's proximity to the CBD and hotels. It was clean and had basic facilities that were sufficient for my needs. The reception closed early than expected so I had a late check in but I had been contacted with instructions so that was OK. Staff were helpful and friendly.
