Location was convenient and was quieter than I might of expected given it's proximity to the CBD and hotels. It was clean and had basic facilities that were sufficient for my needs. The reception closed early than expected so I had a late check in but I had been contacted with instructions so that was OK. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Comfortable convenience

Close to the centre of Darwin, so easy to wander around the city on foot. Also, easy access to main roads if you want explore Darwin and surrounding areas by car. Manage was friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable and clean. Kitchenette had a microwave, toaster, jug and a good size fridge. Bathroom ok, but showing its age. Need to supply your own shampoo, conditioner and hairdryer.

The overall experience at Capitanos was fine.It was all the things stated above. The downfall of the stay was that the pool was way too warm as it's position outdoors is always in the full sun. This must be a problem for many places offering accommodation in Darwin in the dry season so I do understand.Perhaps a pool cover could assist.
