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.

Good value
The lady running Capitanos was very friendly and helpful. Truthfully I booked Capitanos solely based on the lower price and good reviews. It’s a basic room in a concrete block for a relatively high price, but everything in Darwin was super expensive at the time and I felt I got good value. The bedding was clean and comfortable. The air conditioning and shower worked fine. There was a good fridge in the room. The location is just a bit further from everything than you’d want, but overall the location was okay. We went to the Mindil Beach Sunset Market and the Convention Centre area, both of which were about 10-15 minutes scooter ride from Capitanos. We didn’t use the pool or laundry but they both looked nice.

Stayed for a week and really enjoyed ourselves. Retro style hotel with recent refurbishment in the heart of Darwin CBD. Liked the nautical theme of the pool. Very secure. You are in a two-storey building amongst the tall hotels around, but just one-block back from the Esplanade park where there are great views over the harbour. Friendly and helpful staff - thank you!
