Top Darwin Hotel Reviews

Courtyard By Marriott Darwin

8/10 Good

"Pool was great , needed somewhere to hang wet bathers and towels in room"

Ramada Suites by Wyndham Zen Quarter Darwin

10/10 Excellent

"Clean comfortable apartment overall. Sofa bed in living area horrendous. Absolutely no support for any adult using the worn out mattress. Poor sleep and no comfort all night for me. Enjoyed our breakfast and walking distance for fit able people to go exploring or walk to closest local bus transport. Would stay again if not having to use a sofa bed."

DoubleTree by Hilton Darwin Esplanade

8/10 Good

"Room was spacious but air conditioner even though turned off the fan kept going and was very noisy. Water in shower very poor no pressure for hot water. Taps over sink were marked wrong way around. The hot was on cold side. We stayed 5 nights and floor not vacuumed once. Staff were excellent and helpful in reception and pool areas. Wonderful pool"

Mindil Beach Casino Resort

4/10 Poor

"I booked the family delux room - 1 queen bed and a single bed. I was expecting a newly renovated room. For the price I paid, the room paint was falling off, you have to leave the aircon on 24/7 so it's freezing cold in the room. The water pressure in the shower is non-existent, and the temperature of the water is freezing cold. The positives were the reception staff were lovely, the pools were empty on a sunday morning (although the water was a little cold), we always had fresh water bottles and new beach towels in the room when we used them. The sound between rooms is very noticeable, as i could hear people dragging chairs and making a coffee in the morning in the room next to us. Would i recommend people to stay here? maybe if they could afford to stay in the resort rooms if they are any better. the location was good in the sense that the beach is right across the road, and you get a good view of the sunset from the beach there. Its right next to the Thursday night markets (we were given the wrong directions from staff at reception). You will need a hire car to get around, as you can't really walk anywhere else. It would be good to spend a few days there relaxing by the pool, and going to the different restaurants. Even though it is attached to the casino, you are in a completely different building, so it's not like they are really attached (even though they are)."
