We have stayed at Holiday Inn Darwin twice now, and would stay again. It's in a lovely spot on The Esplanade and an easy 5 minute walk to Mitchell St and the mall. Rooms are a reasonable size and the staff are friendly and professional. Both times we've stayed here we've been able to ask for a late check out... More

The rooms and staff in this Hotel are reasonably good, and recognising that Darwin is a relatively expensive city, value received is not bad. Location of the Hotel is also good. I would not, however, stay there again because of two annoyances...the $27.50 charge for using the Internet in your room, and the 1.5% charge on all payments made by... More

Dear Seaforth123 I’m so sorry to hear that internet and merchant service fees detracted from your otherwise pleasant stay. As a company, internet is definitely being considered with thought being given to price, accessibility and options available. As for merchant service fees, I’m afraid these are here to stay however you can opt to pay by either cash or EFTPOS... More

We stayed here for a few days before and after an APT trip to Kakadu. It was a good choice. We stayed in a King Harbour room which provided a great outlook over the harbour. The room was modern and functional. It included a practical desk with numerous electricity outlets for charging cameras, laptop etc. The bed was very good... More

First impression “old and tired”, front staff not happy to be at work and when I enquired about a water view room as I was staying two weeks, I was abruptly advised “fully booked”. Not really believable. First room was poor, leaking AC and BO smell in the bathroom, but was promptly moved when I talked with the front staff.... More

We moved here from a dive hotel nearby, and difference was most satisfying. The staff could not be more helpful and pleasant. We arrived long before check-in time and the desk clerk went out of her way to get us into a room as soon as possible. The hotel is modern and located on the esplanade, which means convenience and...

We stayed 3 nights over a weekend at the end of April. Got a really good deal from the hotel website - all the hotels seem to have better prices on the weekends. Top floor room (10th floor) with great esplanade water views. Bathroom is a bit small and out of date with shower over bath and shower curtain, but... More

Stayed here for a couple of nights in a harbour view room and was blown away by the view of the sunset on one of the evenings. The rooms themselves were not particuarly special (the shower on the tenth floor was just a dribble..) but the beds were comfy and it was very clean. The breakfast wasn't up to much... More
