    Stunningly beautiful views from this corner apartment; excellent location and competitive rates.

    There was a funky smell in the room which I put down to the tropics and the inevitable damp. Limited room service menu but appreciated that there was one! Corridors were not air conditioned and were open to the elements at both ends but I understand the particular issues of building in the tropics. Hand-held shower would not stay up on it's own but was perfectly functional.

    Stunned by the view of Darwin and the horizon upon entry to this corner one bedroom apartment! The bed was amazingly comfortable. I wanted/needed an in-room laundry which worked well and was unobtrusive. The kitchen was well-equipped with a full-sized refrigerator. I had most evening meals in-room so appreciated the small dining table. TV was large and well positioned. Secondary TV in bedroom was appreciated. Location was good - walkable to grocery stores. Close enough to most sights to enable cheap Uber rates. Restaurant with included breakfast was a bonus. Hotel rates were very competitive and I got excellent value for money.

    The pool was cold and could of been a bit more inviting.

    Room was clean, spacious, great shower, great location. We left early for day trips and had a fabulous breakfast packed on the go from the cafe instead of the buffet breakfast.

    Lifts were a bit slow and dated. Breakfast was pretty basic.

    View was fantastic from 25th floor. Every amenity I needed was thought of, and very handy having a washing machine and dryer. Very comfy bed. Great stay for business (I stayed close to a week) friendly staff, I would stay again.

    Although it says one bedroom, it is more a studio with a partitioned bedroom., no door or window in "bedroom area". A little misleading perhaps as we expected 2 rooms- a sitting area and a bedroom. Worked ok for 3 nights, just not what I call a one bed apt.

    Location and facilities were great.

    For the price n heat of Darwin we should have been given 2 bottles of water each day. Staff did not know re our breakfast booking tried to confirm in check in however when we went for breakfast it had been paid for. Missed 2 breakfasts. Asked about public transport had no idea.

    Breakfast was great. Meals were very reasonably priced. Room was great roomy, comfortable king bed. Easy to walk to waterfront.

    I thought all rooms had a kitchenette but I guess that was my misreading! The air con was a bit dodgy to set and get cool enough.

    Great location.Staff pleasant and professional and made every effort to give me an extra hour to stay after my flight changed. Restaurant very good for both dinner and breakfast. Excellent in room tea and coffee and personal amenities.

    The pool was not circulating and the water was very cold.

    We had had an excellent room on 25th level, with sweeping views of Darwin Harbour. Complimentary continental breakfast was excellent, which set us up for the day. Restaurant staff were very friendly and efficient in their jobs. Front desk staff were extremely polite and very helpful. We really enjoyed our stay at Oaks Elan and are happy to recomend this hotel to anyone visiting Darwin. Regards Robyn and Ian Sydney-Smith

    Booking.com said Oakes Elan provided car parking. Yes, they do, at $15 per day. FYI street parking is free on weekends and on public holidays in Darwin. There are ample car spots outside the hotel foyer and on nearby streets. Otherwise, it's payable by parking meters situated everywhere.

    I loved our high level corner 1 bedroom apartment with expansive harbour views and lots of natural light. The apartment was spacious with a large size balcony containing a table and three chairs. The inside lounge area had a coffee table and a lounge suite, with a big wall mounted TV plus a good size desk to work on and charge devices, and a round dining table with three chairs. The kitchenette had a full size fridge, microwave, mini standalone oven, dishwasher, Nespresso machine, and was fully self contained with saucepans, frying pans, bowls, crockery, glassware and cutlery. The bed and pillows were very comfortable with the bedroom at the back of the apartment. The bathroom was on the small side, however very practical with a full size washing machine and clothes dryer. The location was fabulous. Not far to Zen Rooftop Bar, cafes, bars, restaurants, Coles, bottle shops, post office, banks, the Stokes Hill Wharf, convention centre precinct and Darwin's WWII Oil Storage Tunnels were a 10-15 minute walk away. A continental breakfast (which included hard boiled eggs, baked beans and potato gems) was also included in our accommodation price. It was $10 per person to upgrade to a hot breakfast.
