My wife and I stayed 1 week at the Holiday Inn Esplanade Darwin the rooms were adequate, however the housekeeping and overall repair of the property/hotel was poor. The rooms were quickly serviced each day with no dusting, limited restocking of tea, coffee and other supplies. The sheets were changed, about day 4 but only after I complained to the... More

I stayed in this hotel for work - never again. My too Smelt as though there was mould or damp in the air con system, which was also very noisy. The service at check in was fine, but when I raised an issue I had with the washing machine, the response was les than helpful. The waiting staff in the... More

They tout Internet access in rooms, but it turns out WiFi is available only in lobby area. But hey, it's Darwin, and we shouldn't expect cutting edge technology here. The hotel staff seems eager...

The staff were very friendly and helpful at every turn, and even moved us to a different... More

I stayed at this hotel a few times over the last 5 years and it's probably time for a upgrade of the rooms. The location is excellent, espeically for easy access to restaurants and water front. The staff are exceptional, always smiling and very helpful. The down side - the rooms are getting a little dated - they have everything... More
