Nice quiet complex. Basic but clean. Very close to everything you’d like to do in Darwin
Carl
No smoke alarm in my room. No hot water in shower. Terrible bed. Looks like it hasn't been updated in 50 years. No elevator on property. Really bad experience
Rhiannon
It wasn’t luxury, but we weren’t expecting luxury. It was comfortable, clean and great value.
Julie
Lovely place
Kim
I have no idea because we could check in! We arrived and reception was closed so we called and called the number but none answered so we had to find somewhere else to stay!!
Margaret
I enjoyed my stay at the Paravista. It has an old style Darwin feel and was very quiet, cool and clean. Great location too.
David
Good for a stop over
Rosemary
The property represented good value. Clean and tidy but air conditioning was noisy and not very efficient. Great location handy to lots of sites.
Rebecca
Absolutely filthy and terrible customer service
I had a terrible stay. It was my birthday and my birthday plans were cancelled and delayed due to lockdowns. I finally made it out of a remote community to celebrate my birthday and sadly this stay was a huge disappointment. The property is absolutely filthy. From the moment you walk in the floors are dirty with rubbish, dirt, leaves every where. The first room I was given was disgustingly the shower drain was clogged with black hair. There was hair all over the room and the floors had clearly not been cleaned. I wiped down the benches and my white cloth turned brown quickly. The bedsheets had not been changed. I called and asked for new sheets. The man was very rude and seemed very put out. He asked me to show him what I was let happy with and he told me he couldn’t see any problems. He then said this isn’t the ritz what we’re you expecting. He said he wouldn’t give me nw sheets but he would give me a new room. This room was even worse condition with the white sheets stained by what looked like blood. It was fairly late and I had birthday dinner plans and asked him for new sheets. He told me that I could go and find another place that is more to my high standards. I don’t expect much just cleanliness. He said what do u expect for $70 a night? I said I paid $120 and that I expected clean sheets at the very least. He gave me the sheets but he was a very very rude man. I would not stay here again and I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone

no hairdryer, no tissues, cockroach on floor, booked a cab from reception day before for the airport for early flight, asked twice if it would be there, was told would tell Dianne to book it, cab did not arrive by 5.45am when requested, luckily friends who were also staying there took us to the airport just in time for our flight.

Clean but dated. Comfortable enough. Decent value. Good location near Parap shopping village and restuarants.
Verified traveler
This Motel is a bit remote if you don't have your own transport. Bathroom needs somewhere to put toiletries other than on the window ledge. Definitely needs a full time receptionist to inform guests of the sights, tours etc.
Luca
Staff was really friendly;)
Abbey/Karl
great budget hotel, very clean
The paravista motel is very close to bus stop into Darwin centre and in walking distance to the Parap city. The hotel rooms were exceptionally clean and the staff were always kind and welcoming. The pool was very convenient and refreshing. We had a great stay, for budget accomadation it was great but a bit dated. it was great how they cleaned your room so thoughrouly everyday and we really enjoyed our stay here.
Bernie
Staff were very good and helpful with pointing out local eateries & attractions, arranging taxis & shuttle buses, etc. Rooms are dated but comfortable. Good overall.

Nice hotel with lovely staff.
The motel had ant is the bathroom an the sheets an pillow cases were clean an washed but were a brown colour as if they needed to be soaked or washed in Nappy San. Woke up one morning itchy an scratching an had some small ants on the bed,told the receptionist nothing happened,,so under no circumstances will i be staying there again an will be telling people,,Also the bath was old an stains in the carpet an yet the prices they charge is terrible.I was there for my daughters wedding. This experience spoilt the whole occasion.

Husband and wife team were very helpful, the room was very clean, but the old-style \"hole in the wall\" air conditioner couldn't do the job properly!

Great motel, well located, quiet area. Need to be able to manage stairs. Would definitely stay again.

Good location, clean and economical.
Close to the city, but away from the centre so nice and quiet. Also walking distance to Parap shops.
Bit of a musty smell, but it's a Darwin icon, so adds to the charm. Room was very clean, bed comfy, everything you need at budget price.

A Pleasant Stay
We enjoyed an older motel with a very quiet, large room with balcony at the back of the motel on a quiet street. Within walking distance to trendy Parap Village with its great restaurants and shops. The motel staff were wonderful - very warm and helpful.

The motel is old.
The place hasn`t been renovated since it was built in 1974. Also had a women screaming abuse outside 4-00am in the morning. Iam sure she was something to do with the owners.
