Comfortable and cool, good escape from the Darwin heat. Shower head didn't work properly, was very low and couldn't be adjusted. Overall a pleasant stay and one of the cheapest options.

Luma Luma is not new or modern, so is more affordable than more modern accommodation. It has parking and is in a convenient location, close to shops and dining. The rooms have a small kitchenette which is useful. Staff are helpful and accommodate people on flights arriving after midnight. It's also not far from the coach stop if you need to catch the Greyhound coach or other buses.

I was looking for an inexpensive place to sleep at night while I attended a conference during the day, so Luma Luma was great. I could prepare my own breakfast, room was clean and felt secure, staff were polite and efficient, swimming pool was very pleasant way to cool off, and I was glad I could open the door to the balcony which is often impossible these days when everyone is using air conditioning and afraid of being broken into. Thanks

The staff were very friendly and very helpful. The room was very light and airy with a lovely breeze coming in from the balconyin the afternoons. I would have liked a few more kitchen options in the studio room-chopping board for example. Philip, the lovely manager did go out and buy me a can opener when requested!but was able to cook a full meal with the hobs and microwave.

Firstly Check in was a long process, lack of staff, was kept standing at desk whilst only staff member was on phone discussing business matters with someone on phone. Where I was able to get a lot of information due to said staff member having their phone on speaker, hello to you as well. Then during late evening loud kids at pool until long after opening hours. Upon checkout I informed person at desk and received a nonchalant response.
