วาลู อินน์, ดาร์วิน

Very convenient location in downtown area of Darwin. Close to supermarket, restaurants, airport shuttle bus, harbour precinct. Accomodation is budget but rooms good value for the price, and service friendly and efficient. Access to free wifi limited.

Some one walked in my hotel room with a swipe card at 2:20 am clearly thinking no one was meant to be in that room and was unable to get back to sleep afterwards

Really glad we were only staying 1 night and had a very early flight the next day (or I probably would have left). It was the worst hotel / motel I have ever stayed in. The fan in the bathroom sounded like a jet taking off, the air con was very old and so loud we had to turn it off to sleep, the taps in the bathroom shrieked when on (trapped air, I guess), the mattresses are covered in plastic and very poor quality. It was cheap but it wasn't That cheap! The drunk angry woman screaming in the corridor didn't help the poor experience and I can't blame the hotel for that but I got the impression that is just expected there.

It's well managed, so clean with local TV and air conditioning. Obviously aligned with backpack venue next door which is where I checked in at 01:30 morning of arrival. 2 minutes, then off to my room. If interested most bars were still open but no loud noise.
