We spent 3 nights here after a rushed trip to Ayres Rock. Backing on to Todd Mall it was very convenient to be able to slip across to the shopping centre for goodies to have in the room. The room itself was a good size and nicely appointed,although some wine glasses would have been nice. The only problem we had... More

Besides the huge brawl that took place in the foyer when I was there (that led to the receptionist being taken to Emergency), the stay was relatively uneventful and the rooms uninspiring. However, with a noon checkout advertised, I was surprised to get phone calls from reception at 11.30am demanding to know why I hadn't checked out yet. My answer... More

Located in the center of Alice Springs this hotel is a good base. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was satisfactory. There was a mix-up with my reservation, and, I was given a first floor room that looked into the parking garage. This was not great, but, I did sleep well. There is limited free WIFI. All in... More

We were pleased to be upgraded to two rooms. The hotel was an interesting labyrinth of a layout which added interest. The rooms were clean and comfortable, though older. The pool was cool at 19 to 20 C (end of April visit) but the water in the small spa pool was much warmer. The restaurant dinner was good, and there... More

The Aurora is located very centrally. The staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good with a good selection of hot foods and fruit. Rooms are good sized, building is a little tired, but very clean.
