Frontier Hotel Darwin

Frontier needs to invest in upgrading the rooms, cupboards were not stacked up with extra pillows and blankets. Shower was hard to switch over from bath to shower (very old). No room service , no upstairs restaurant, cabana rooms no longer available in the wet season. They don’t accept cash lol and misinformed when paid deposit by card, does not take half an hour to return back to your bank!? Try 3-5 days which is just rude. And rooms only comes with 2 pillows. It would be lovely to see totally renovated and restored

This hotel was located in a convenient location. It was very close to the CBD and near Mindel Beach. Average parking space and good size. The gym was mediocre and in need of a touch up. First night in the room was hot. We could feel heat coming through the wall near the window and air conditioning was not working properly. We thankfully were able to switch rooms at no extra charge. The bathroom was cramped but overall clean. Room was neat and beds were comfortable. There was not much light and there was only one working ceiling light and wasn’t even in the centre of the room. We found a beer bottle and sock under the double bed. Friendly and helpful staff but overall a comfortable stay.

English Fish and Chips Thursday night was amazing, best Fish I have had in a long time, if you are in town you have to try you will not be disappointed

Best receptionist we ever met, very friendly and helpful. We‘ve stayed here for the second time now this year, we loved the clean rooms with the pool view, excellent meals at bar next door, shaded pool area. We definitely will be coming back!

Everything in the rooms is old and the whole place needs a major renovation and upgrade. Only two flat pillows on the bed. Bathroom was really old. This place needs to be advertised as an absolute budget hotel, however, the price DOES NOT reflect "budget". Way too expensive for what you get. Swimming pool was not inviting at all, I would not go in there. Gym was locked and you have to ask for it to be unlocked. Service was lacking. Place is run by foreigners and their standard is obviously pretty low. Do yourself a favour, pay a few extra dollars and go elsewhere. This is no better than a backpackers lodge.

Very disappointed spent 4 days There last week - the elevator needs to be serviced, it sounds like it's just gonna get stuck - the stairwell needed more lights and more signage - the carpet was just stained - had dirty towels and dirty linens - the bathroom door had stains near the handle - when fresh hand towels was returned they was dirty - on the website it had room service But there was no phone or menu so had to go down stairs - no microwave to reheat food so it ended up being a lot of take out - the sounding of the rooms wasn't great and others just kept going in and out all hours slamming the doors every time. Which then woke me up every time. - the locking on the doors it self needs to be upgraded to a safer model The positive side: - did order a burger from there which was great. Lovely service from the staff in the bar - the location was great for the airport / shops/ the city and the botanical garden

Akash the front office manager made our stay memorable. Can't thank him enough for all that he has done and looking forward to staying there again soon. He gave us a great deal. His friendliness and helpfulness exceeded what we have experienced at any other hotel to date.

Interstate friends were staying there, so I picked them up from there most days. They said that it was one of the buildings that survived Cyclone Tracey 50 years ago. The room they stayed in had the shower over the bath, but overall clean and comfortable. There is also a brilliant pool with modern surrounds and a BBQ for guests to use. In-house laundry and gym. I had dinner with them one night in the sports bar and the food was delicious.
