Sky City is an excellent hotel

Sky City is an excellent hotel as long as you have the right room. Our room was lovely and spacious,but unfortunately it was on the pool side which also meant the noise from the huge air-conditioning units on the roof of the casino was so loud that it kept us awake at night. When, after the second night, we asked for a new room we were shown a quieter one, but that smelt damp and musty! We stayed with the noisy room and tried to reduce the noise with ear plugs (not very successfully)! Not what you would expect from a 5 star hotel.

Very nice Hotel - stayed in two

Very nice Hotel - stayed in two different room types. The one bedroom spa suite was fantastic. Lots of room and luxurious feel to it. The standard room was small, but clean and well equipped. The resort itself is great - fantastic pool area with bar and food. The casino is small but most staff are friendly and the drinks are cheap! Would recommend for those heading to Darwin.

Swimming pool is great with fantastic sunset views. Some nice dining and bar areas. Next door to Mindle Market which is very handy. Courtesy bus (5 minute drive) into town is a bonus. Second time we have stayed and will be visiting again.

service at the hotelpart of the resort is great. In the casinopart service is very bad. Staf is only focussed on clients from outside the hotel, outside dining almost not possible because of private functions and weddings. Focus has to be on houseguests!
