The Leea Darwin
Hotel is very good and I got a clean room. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It’s also a good location for tour pickups and is right opposite a Woolworths which is great. It’s also a short walk from Crocosauras Cove which makes it a great location

Walking distance from Darwin hub and late night entertainment. Was expecting some level of noise from street level but very quiet. Slept like a baby.
