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.

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.

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!

For budget accommodation this place is pretty good! We stayed for 4 nights and we were comfortable. The service is amazing at reception, these guys are wonderful! The beds are clean and comfy - the shower and hot water is top shelf (& there's a bath tub!). There is a pool, a restaurant and pub (with drive thru bottle shop) off to the side. There are washing machines and driers ($4 each) and a gym. Also free WiFi that works throughout the building. Front doors lock after 9pm and pin code is required to gain access. The lifts are a little slow, but you get there in the end. There is free parking around the building - first in, best parked 😁 Unfortunately - the treadmill in the gym faults out and doesn't work. The WiFi connection to the TV drops out so trying to watch netflix was painful and didn't happen, but the free to air channels worked fine. No microwaves, but there was a kettle, milk, coffee and tea. Also, the rooms contain safes. You can hear other rooms doors open and close and the shower from the next room, but 🤷🏽‍♀️ *budget* is the name. Cannot fault and would definitely stay again if I needed a bed for a night, or 4!

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

Booked 3 nights thru Vio.com which wasn't acknowledged at first. Then booked an additional night using debit card. The staff where unproffesional and rude. I was charged an additional $228 thru debit card for food and drink. Shocked! 1st meal was roast $25 with lemon squash $18 (used card) 2nd. Meal - Parm & pot special $25 (used card). 3rd meal - Pasta $25 with lemon squash $8 - cash. 4th meal - Steak special $20 with lemon squash $6 cash. How does this add up to $228? Staff untrustworthy and dishonest and spiteful.

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.
