8/10 Good
"This was my fourth stay at The Leea in the past two years, for both work and leisure. The pools/pool area has had a fantastic makeover, with stylish new daybeds and umbrellas. But, neither pool has any shade and it seems to have attracted a much younger crowd and ‘influencers’. The rooms remain very clean, the beds are comfortable, and the staff are always pleasant and welcoming. Whilst The Leea still has plenty going for it, the overall atmosphere seems to have shifted towards a much younger demographic. As a middle-aged woman who has previously enjoyed staying here, I’m not sure it would be my first choice for my next trip."

"Stayed for six nights, best decision! Excellent location walking distance to many attractions. Recently renovated rooms, tastefully done with excellent air conditioning. Easy access to pool that is surrounded by relaxing seating. Live music near pool added to ambience, yet my room was quiet. The food in hotel area was consistently of a high standard. The winning point though was the staff, everyone was so friendly and helpful."

"We had a huge, clean apartment with a lovely view. Rainbow lorakeets in the trees in front of our balcony. Up the hill and a few streets back from the water front so nice and quiet. If you are a walker as we are, it's a perfect location. Only a 10 minute walk to the water and lots to offer around the complex as well. I would stay here again if in Darwin."
