I stayed here recently and can understand why MGM Mirage took their name off this place, its pretty bad!, the location is great on Mindil Beach but the rooms are tired and dated, the staff are quiet rude in reception and its attached to a dingy old casino which is slightly smaller than a country pub gaming area... added to... more

Just home after 8 great nights at Skycity Darwin. Great pool area, the best i have ever been to. Breakfast was a highlight for great food and a wonderful morning view. The staff were generally fantastic. A great location as it only cost around $8 for a taxi to the city, even less to Cullen Bay. Mindle Beach markets were... more

We had our fourth stay at Sky City in May, 2009. We were upgraded to a suite on the second floor. The room was great - roomy, Mindl Beach view, balcony, wet-bar, and spa bath. Very comfortable. The location in Darwin can't be bested. It walking distance (adjacent) to the Thursday and Sunday markets. The pool is fantastic, but the... more

We spent 2 nights at Sky City and were very pleased. We were a little early to check in so the lovely receptionists gave us vouchers for free coffee and rang me on my mobile when the room was ready. Unfortunately we had a view of the car park but then we can't all have the sea view. Tiny balcony.... more

Sky City is a combination casino and hotel just outside the Darwin cbd and across from the botanic gardens. It is next to Mindil Beach and the fabulous night market held there. The location is excellent as long as you have a car, though it is on the route for the on-and-off tourist bus. My wife and I stayed at... more

I was a bit apprehensive about staying 5 nights at a Hotel attached to a casino, and had read some uncomplementary reviews of Sky City. Our room was a standard double, facing the ocean front, recently repainted, but with only glimpses of the ocean. The room was a good size, with a very small balcony. The bathroom was a bit... more

I enjoy staying at casino hotels and have stayed at most of the Australian hotels and my overall experience with Sky City Darwin in comparison to Crown Melbourne, Star City Sydney, Burswood Resort Perth and Conrad Treasury Brisbane the Sky City Darwin comes out top of the list. I purchased a superior spa room with 2 queen beds, the room... more

A fairly reasonable experience, certainly not equivalent to a 4 star hotel in say Hong Kong, but that's not what we expected. Place was clean and quiet and for us the location near Fannie Bay was excellent being close to Botanic Gardens, Museum and Mindil Beach. We luckily had a rental car to go to the city centre when needed.... more

We had an ocean-facing room which had a lovely view but very old fashioned TV. we had to get the balcony door specially unlocked- silly when you really want to enjoy the spectacular sunsets on your balcony. Hope fully the current upgrading will address some of these issues. The rooms facing the car Park were only slightly cheaper but were... more

With expectations of Skycity being "international" class, I thought my internet rate was quite reasonable. As it turned out, it was expensive - for a product that is, in so many respects, a 'glorified' motel. Had I walked in off the street, and paid their 'rack rate' I would have been one dissatisfied customer indeed! The casino is extremely tired,... more
