We really enjoyed our stay here - the beds were super comfortable and the evening food in the restaurant was great. The bathroom could do with an upgrade but otherwise would recommend this as a great place to stay in kakadu.
The convenience of the location and the restaurant for all meals.

Exceptional restaurant
Room was large and well equipped. Bathroom on the small side. We had two minor issues that were dealt with prompty by the staff. The food in the restaurant was exceptional and well priced as were the drinks.
It is a very good and convenient place for exploring Kakadu, good breakfast, nice restaurants with quality meals and friendly staff…only downside is it is a bit expensive as there are not much competition!!!
Rooms are a great size. Such a bonus to be able to spread our suitcases out on the floor.
The staff were very polite but i must admit not all of them looked very happy, it was hard to spot a smile, maybe it's because its the end of the session and done of them are a bit tired.
The pool was lovely with pool towels supplied.
We had dinner at the restaurant and the food was superb, I'd definitely recommend this.
Comfortable room and lovely food from the restaurant.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
One of the staff in the restaurant was very rude. She said she they were under-staffed and seemed to take her anger out on us.
The food was good.
The rooms are nice, although starting to feel a little tired. It feels like the place needs a refresh. But it was clean and comfortable.
The guest wifi is hopeless, constantly dropping out. It was really frustrating.
Room conditions were nice, Bed comfy, Buffet meal was good, Supermarket, Service Station, good location in Jabiru Kakadu for walks & attractions. Made use of Pool, clean & refreshing & open till 10pm. Got a late checkout, friendly service. 😊 Bit Expensive
We spent a very pleasant night here. The restaurant was very nice, the food was amazing and the staff were attentive and friendly. Our room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable.
Check in was quick and easy and very friendly. Room clean and comfortable. Close to shops and service station. Restaurant has a great menu and waitstaff are very friendly. We loved our stay.
Great staff! Great location! Mentioned only in conversation that it was our 15yr anniversary! And after our dinner as a surprise the team had a little happy anniversary cake for us! Soooo nice 👌
Excellent as of 9/10 as for room, breakfast, dinner and very friendly staff as well,
Just one point missing for perfect was that’s getting some noise from early morning birds….
Anyway I can recommend you all from family with kids to elderly couples.
This was a great place to stay while exploring Kakadu! The room was super clean, comfy, and spacious, which was fantastic given that it was necessary to return to the room during the hottest hours of the day. The restaurant was lovely, it was easy to get a good coffee drink first thing in the morning, the amenities were great, and everyone was friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
Best hotel in town, not many other options.
Very little to do in the town, bit plenty to do in the area. Hotel restaurant is pretty good, not many other options in town.
Very pleasant stay. Good sized room. comfortable p though bathroom slightly dated. Shame theres no lift.
Evening meals (a la carte) excellent.
Breakfast very expensive, food not very warm, cold plates.
We had a nice stay at Mercure. Spacious room and comfortable bed. Staff were lovely, mainly young overseas workers who did a great job. Aircon had a malfunction but was quickly repaired on request. Pool was refreshing. Food was very nice, had both the buffet and a la carte. All in all a very pleasant stay.
