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.

Nice place to stay

Trying to find reasonable cost accommodation in Darwin cbd for 8 nights was hard until i found Capitanos, the room was clean and the air con was icy cold! King bed was comfortable and the foxtell in the room was a nice bonus. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again in the future.

Perfect for what I needed, room was big, bed was big, fridge was big. Secure property and perfect location on Mitchell Street with walking access to all that was required. Awesome value for money and having free foxtel was a pleasant surprise/bonus. All in all, way better than I expected.
