Hotels Near Viva La Body in Darwin

We stayed in both apartment types of the studio type one bedroom. The main difference other than the size of the room is The studio has only a shower room and the refrigerator has no freezer. There is no washing machine dryer The apartment type had a bathtub, a freezer, a washing machine and a dryer, and a detergent. The laundry was convenient in my room. Convenient location in the center but very quiet There was a supermarket a 1-minute walk away

This Resort is just off a main road and is located about 22 mins walk to Waterfront which was convenient to the event I was attending. Woolworth is just across the road from the resort which is a bonus! adding to that, an 8 mins walk to take you to cafes, restaurants and bars.

The hotel is in a good location, the core area, to the pedestrian street, supermarket, crocodile park and World War II park, the seaside, etc. are relatively close, walk for a few minutes to twenty minutes. I fixed the apartment. When I was ready to wash my clothes at night, I found that the washing machine didn't work. Moreover, there was a kitchen in the washing machine where the former guest was placed inside the kitchen to wipe the tablecloth. Without washing, it was sour and smelly, and I was too lazy to ask the front desk for feedback. Cleaning should be strengthened!

A very good hotel, the location is very convenient in the city center, there are two supermarkets nearby, the room is very spacious, the environment is good, close to the sea. The hotel service is very intimate and very welcoming, but there are many small ants and small cockroaches in the room. I originally chose Chinese service, but there is no such thing.

There is no parking lot. It's not convenient to park on behalf of you. Call the front desk in advance by car every day In terms of hygiene, isn’t it sensitive skin, a little allergic Location is not bad

This was the cheapest accommodation we could find in Darwin for a CBD location for 8 days. What a bargain!! On the Esplanade with all the other top class hotels, close to Shenanigans pub, Coles, Bicentennial Park, Peel Street with all its restaurants, shops etc. And that’s not all!! The room was older but was beautifully maintained, spotlessly clean, had everything that opens & shuts- washing machine, drier, dishwasher, iron, hairdryer, iron but no board, really comfy lounge, all you need for any length of time in Darwin. The air conditioning was excellent - just on and off, no fiddling, no dials, worked perfectly! This is so so important in the extreme Darwin climate! Reception daytime staff were excellent and the security guards on duty after hours leave a bit to be desired. They do their best but are quite inept. On the side we were on, we overlooked the youth hostel and Shenanigans Pub which were noisy till the curfew 10.00 pm so we couldn’t use the veranda, however, we didn’t hear anything when the door was closed. If we visit Darwin again, this would be our first choice!

My stay here was marred by the unnecessarily long check in process involving paperwork that could have been done electronically during the booking process - and my ongoing annoyance at being charged an additional $100 security bond at check in. All in the middle of the night, for a prepaid booking. Was assured the $100 would be refunded the next day, but 5 days later it hasn't been. Phoned the reception to enquire and was told by a rude receptionist that it was my banks problem and that they are entitled to charge this fee ”in case I damaged the room”. I haven't ever been charged more than a $1 holding fee before, so am not impressed with this ”management policy”, particularly given the room was prepaid. The actual room was clean and comfortable, a light breakfast is included which is good value. Parking is an additional charge - it would be very difficult to park here with a large 4WD, the spaces are tiny. I'm really disappointed that the management processes seem to be all about not trusting guests and making staying there a complex process...it's actually a nice hotel that is thoughtfully set up for short stay travellers, but I left with a bad feeling and feel sorry for the night reception staff who have to enforce ”policy”. Everywhere these days there are signs up about abuse not being tolerated...being combative towards paying customers isn't helpful.

Hotel location is good, service is good, but the equipment is outdated, the elevator tastes great There are ants in the room

Friendly service and easy checkin - breakfast good and convenient. Pool nice and relaxing area. Walk to everything - enjoyable spot.

The staff were welcoming and friendly. Dinushka Goonathalake looked after us very well. Having stayed for a conference a previous week we were most appreciative of a lovely room opening onto the park overlooking the bay on our return from adventuring in Arnem Land. Our room was always fresh and light, the bathroom modern. We appreciated access to open air from the small balcony. A good variety of teas was provided. The atmosphere was relaxed, suiting Darwin's tropical feel. Freshly prepared breakfast on the terrace or indoors and excellent coffee available if desired. Easily accessible morning & evening walks in the park along the bay to town and nearby restaurants was an added bonus.
