Darwin hotels & places to stay

Very spacious and very stylish... value for money, a 3 bedroom unit on special was $120.. we stayed they're every chance we could. I have stayed at many expensive hotels in Darwin and by far this is my favourite. Staff a super friendly and we'll go out of their way to help you.. I have heard some people complain because the office is not open on the weekend but their partner building is only 200 m around the corner there is no issue.. Thank you C2 and I look forward to the next season staying with you.. 100% stay with C2

I stay here at least twice a year and its usually pretty good with the noise, this time though we had some noisy folk outside their room after 11pm. I know... its not that late but when you have to get up at 6am, it is... and of course I dont want them to stop having a good time, but perhaps they could do that back at the pub or inside their room instead of bringin it into mine :) I wonder if management could let gueest know about an outside your room curfew? thanks, Palms City is still my favorite Darwin hotel.

Due to my work situation I have stayed in many hotels in Darwin. As far as value for money taking into account the position, facilities & quality of the hotel in general, there is none better in Darwin.

First time with Mercure, , had no idea when we booked what it would be like, was pleasantly surprised of the lovely first impression when pulling up to book in ... We felt we were in Bali... Great experience and would recommend this hotel and will certainly go back when visiting Darwin in the future..F fabulous staff and Accommodation and the food was to die for .. definitely 5*****

after reading so may unfavourable reviews of hotels in darwin, i was not sure what to expect with my stay at the mantra given it seemed to be the best of a bad bunch but this place was modern, spacious and really exceeded my expectations. i stayed in a harbour view room and it was definitely worth paying extra for the upgrade. i had a balcony overlooking the beach and esplanade and a separate spacious bedroom with a bath and shower. the living room was spacious with a beautiful view and by far the best hotel i stayed at whilst i was darwin. definitely worth checking out if you are looking for somewhere modern with nice facilities. the pool however it not as large as the photos depict and you may struggle to get a spot there on the warmer days.

Club Tropical is a lovely resort hidden in the suburbs of Darwin. It probably doesn’t get the recognition it deserves because it’s location isn’t in the city and therefore, people are missing out on its peacefulness. It is modern, has a great big pool that the kids loved, and has a restaurant on the site. I’ll be coming back here and will probably make it our go to hotel as it is close to family and friends. Great for families!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at Ramada Zen in Darwin. Room was a good size, bed comfortable, close to the city, wonderful pool and the staff were excellent. Add a great breakfast to that and it was almost perfect! We unfortunately were there over the Darwin Cup weekend which put the room rates through the roof, but that was our fault. Don't think we could find fault anywhere, even if we wanted to try. One of our best breaks ever!!

This was our first stop in Darwin after travelling there on The Ghan from Adelaide. After a short hiccup of trying to find our booking; we found the staff to be most helpful going the extra mile of upgrading us into a better accommodation than we had booked. The staff on duty also helped us with our "pick up" for the next morning from Viator tours as we were cut off on the phone to them when we tried to call them. A recording came on to say that the office was closed. The staff on duty was exceptional in calling them and sorting our problem and organizing for us to be picked up from the Hotel. They were wonderful!!

After a very disappointing stay at the Darwin Waterfront we cancelled a booking there and instead booked into Rydges at Palmerston. Initially we had a normal room but later moved into one of their apartments, which provided all the facilities of a home. The staff were very accommodating, efficient and professional with nothing appearing to be too daunting. Housekeeping was excellent and the facilities at Rydges included the use of the gym and undercover secure car park. The Fork and Dagger bar and grill was excellent in service and in the food served. While Palmerston is some 20 km from Darwin city, it has all the facilities close by and new shopping centers only minutes away. We plan to book Rydges again next year when we visit family in the Darwin area. We would recommend Rydges unreservedly.

As anyone to travels to Darwin knows, planes get into Darwin at terrible times! We live a 12 hour drive from Darwin, so we need a hotel to rest up as every flight travels overnight and arrives at 4-6am. Hotels will not let you check in at 5am, not unless you pay for two nights. We went on a whim to the travelodge and we got a room at 5am for under $100, and only had to pay an extra $40 for early check in. In the past we have paid anywhere from $60-$130 for this. The guy at the front desk was really nice, quick and accommodating. The rooms are very basic, but to tell you the truth I was just happy for a place to put my head down. The location is great, not on the main drag, but right across the street from Coles, there is a pool and restaurant should you need it as well.

Amazing and comfortable stay in Coconut Grove Holiday Apartments. Its better apart hotel In Darwin. very comfortable rooms, some have kitchenette. With good internet, all kitchen stuff, parking place with option - free car wash, laundry and dry room. Close to airport, 10 minutes by car. Coles an Woolforth is 10 minutes drive. We stay here 3 nights, two times and will stay here next our business in Darwin. the manager upgraded our apartment to the best and saved our mail, thank you! Highly recommend.

3 bedroom Appt Seaview PROS: Excellent Views Spacious Easy to clean Great place to stay, plenty of room to have your own space when in a group of people. Convenient location Safe & Secure Great park across the road with huge adventure play ground for kids and lots of walking tracks bedsides the sea/ harbor. CONS: 4x4 (2.5inch lifted) wouldnt fit in carpark, was offered a different area to park in but it was to far to cart luggage around. We parked on the street out front which was more convenient and managed not to get a ticket :) Little bit of mold in showers and around aircon vents. Noise from people yelling in the park across the road reverberating up when out on the deck. ( Only happened one night for a bit until police showed up) In saying all the cons I Would definitely stay again when back in darwin.

We stay here a few times a year. It's our preferred hotel in Darwin, with the location on the waterfront right by the swimming lagoon and plenty of restaurants nearby. It's only a short walk (with a lift to take you up the hill) into town, with public transport nearby as well. Whilst small, the pool and spa area is nice, with a window for orders at the adjacent bar and cafe. It's worth paying a bit more for a room facing the waterfront, but we prefer not to have breakfast included as there are so many other options around. Prices vary widely, even on agoda, so we try to book early but if the price isn't what we are willing to pay we wait and try again closer to the time (this might not work in peak season). It's the same hotel as the adina, as far as i'm aware the difference is that the adina is marketed as apartments, some with kitchenettes and balconies, whereas vibe is just your standard hotel rooms (they are still reasonably spacious with an armchair and coffee table in addition to the standard desk and chair).

We stayed here due to needing to spend one night in Darwin at the end of our holiday. We knew that we were within the airport grounds and were expecting to hear planes coming and going all night, however we didn't hear a single plane from the room! The staff were attentive and friendly and we enjoyed dinner in the chinese restaurant on site. Would definitely stay here again if need be.

Comfy beds and big lockers in room, but showers need a proper clean and staff was very brief and not very friendly. Cheapest hostel in Darwin and the pther hostels ain’t any cleaner. Wifi isn’t really working.

This is the second time I have stayed at the Best Western Darwin Airport Gateway Motel, the hotel is situated close to airport. The motel was quiet and the staff are attentive. The room was comfortable and clean. I would recommend friends and Business travelers to stay here as it is close to airport, shops and minutes from the city center by car or public transport. I look forward to my next trip to Darwin.

We had stayed at Luma Luma previously, so when we decided to spend five days in Darwin we wanted a place that offered facilities for some self-catering. We stayed in one of the studio apartments with a decently equipped kitchenette which was perfect for us. The place is perfect for sightseeing as it is easy walking distance to all attractions, restaurants, shops, cafes, bars, etc., and not far from the popular waterfront precinct. We hired a car for one day's touring around out of Darwin and appreciated the guest carpark. Visiting Darwin in the middle of summer also meant we used the pool a few times and the BBQ in the pool area was terrific for a couple of easy dinners for us. The staff are super friendly and each day when we returned from walking the city our room was spotlessly clean with all tea and coffee replenished and fresh towels etc. When we visit Darwin again, we will definitely stay at Luma Luma. There are newer hotels in Darwin, but the self-catering facilities make this one unbeatable value.

We walked into the Pandanas after a three day basic 4 wheel drive camping trip with high expectations and were not disappointed. Although we had booked a city view room we were pleased to see a panoramic view of Darwin Harbour from our 14th floor balcony. The hotel is easy walking distance to local attractions and restaurants. The rooms are clean and tastefully decorated as you would expect in a new hotel. As the hotel is still being built there were teething problems such as irregular lifts, fire alarms that went off and doors that wouldn't open (to the pool). The restaurant had recently opened and looked inviting but we chose to eat elsewhere and made our own cold breakfast in the room. The pool area was on the 6th floor and very pleasant when we could finally get in. We were really happy with our stay overall and would stay there again if we could get another good deal on the rates.

We were supposed to stay with Darwin friends upon arrival on a red eye from Bali and 20 hours of travel...but they had to go to Perth! I booked through Agoda and rang the hotel to ask for an early check-in, explaining our desire to put head to pillow well before 2pm. No problem they said, and organised housekeeping to clean our room first...ready at 10am. Once we arrived, the reception staff were professional, friendly and welcoming. The rooms are clean and it's a brand new hotel right in the heart of the city. We will be staying there again next week on our way back to Bali. Thank you and see you then! Jay & Bella

we enjoyed our stay here, the hotel is well located and the rate included breakfast. we have stayed in others hotels in darwin but would choose to stay here again. the disappointment we had was with the lunch in the restaurant, poor service and even worse food but there are plenty of other options around and next time we will go out. the check in was fantastic and the assistant manager, simon was the best.

Our stay at Sky City Darwin Hotel was very relaxing and enjoyable. The service of all the staff were excellent, specially the reception, room service, concierge, very helpful, polite and friendly. The Casino,the restaurants/bars, infinity pool and spa were good places for entertainment. The ocean and garden view from our room balcony was outstanding. Also the vicinity around the casino and hotel surrounded with various tropical tress and plants were very beautiful. Our deluxe room overall was excellent. We will certainly stay here again and recommend to all our friends who travels to Darwin.

PROS: Large beds with excellent bedding. Decent bathrooms. Rooms had washing machines / dryers attached. Good, working air conditioners and excellent saltwater pool, which are a must in Darwin. Pleasant staff. CONS: Very basic breakfast (cereal, juice and toast) incurred an $8 charge, which was a little miserly. Room had constant smell of damp - some mould growing on ceiling (keeping in mind this was the middle of the wet season.) No information about public transport provided, and no availability of bicycles for hire - the assumption is that you will have a car. $100 room deposit required.

Adina apartments is located in the best part of Darwin. All rooms are well appointed and the staff are all friendly and professional. Breakfast and room service food was delicious. Improvements could be made to the pool area and to wifi speed and access.

This hotel was a not a fancy hotel and the decor is a bit out dated however it was extremely clean, the beds very comfortable, the water in the shower was hot and they provided plenty of tea and coffee. It is within walking distance of restaurants the heart of Darwin itself.The staff were wonderful and extremely friendly.

we arrived and were upgraded to a spacious suite! the hotel was in very good condition, clean and everything worked well. the breakfast was very tasty, huge range and quite substantial. we walked to the botanical gardens and gallery and really enjoyed the realxed feel of darwin. the hotel was close to restaurants and supermarket for the things we'd left at home!

Located in a great location in Darwin , just 400 metres from Woolworths and a short walk to smith street mall , Mitchell street and the water front . Staff were very helpful with the baby cot for us . Great view from our apartment on the 9th floor .

I live in Darwin, but after a few stressful weeks at work I thought I'd shout myself some time in the city for a change. Signature on Woods was a fantastic choice - well located to walk to restaurants, but quiet at night. Spotlessly clean. Balcony was great to take in the views. I absolutely couldn't fault it.

I have stayed at a number of hotels in Darwin and this is by far my favourite. Lovely staff who immediately make you feel welcome and at home, a beautiful room with a view and deep bath, late check out at 12, breakfast, Netflix and Stan - what more could one ask for? I would definitely return to Argus and recommend it to anyone who visits Darwin. Thank you for making my stay so amazing.
