We have stayed a number of times over the past 6 years. However there needs to be some serious upgarde to some of the rooms. Our room had a horrible musty smell and the bedding felt damp to the touch. We reported this to reception, who offered us an alternative room - which we took. On leaving the original room... More

Yes its true. The sunsets out the front of this hotel are magnificent so get out of that very average room, grab yourself a nice cocktail and settle in for the show. I certainly didn't come here for the casino- and that looked quite tacky and small- this was a night here before exploring the outback outside Darwin so really... More

I stayed here for one night after a friends wedding. We were in the new wings at the back of the older rooms and these are the 5 star rooms that the other reviewers are saying the hotel didn't have. The room was huge with a king bed. The back of the rooms had a decked area that got you... More

Paid for 5 star property however this did not feel like a 5 star property. While the One Bedroom Suite with Ocean Views was very good, it certainly is overpriced. Property provides good room and hotel facilities and loved the pool. Situated in a nice location too! Very nice for couples to enjoy a getaway or to celebrate a special... More

This was our first trip to the Casino, we are not huge gamblers so we decided only a small wager was the order of the day. But as we walked around we realised this place was so small, it took us about 20 minutes to visit every gaming table, most of the place was taken up with pokies. What is... More

Had the hotel advertised itself as having a range of room quality and we'd known that we hadn't booked the 5 star section, I might have given it a 4. The room was a comfortable, clean and reasonably quiet motel style facility, with a lovely view of the bay. But it was basic and showing its age a bit. You... More

Room was fine, decor a bit brave. Wasn't expecting much and it was actually clean and I had a good nights sleep until the morning the air on was noisy and I woke up assuming it was raining outside. I was only there one night for work, the infinity pool is really nice and I had a swim in the... More

Ok - so I have stayed in hotels that have better rooms and better service. However, the overall facilities of Sky city tick all of the boxes if you just like to chill out at the resort with a massive lagoon pool (including swim up bar) or at the other side of the hotel is a very nice infinity pool....

Really enjoyed our stay here, despite it being so close to the casino. we had a one bedroom suite with adjoining deluxe room for us and 2 small children. The suite was large and had kitchenette etc which is awesome with small kids. aircon worked, room was quiet, breakfast pretty average, lagoon pool fantastic, and staff great.
