voco DARWIN SUITES by IHG
9.1 (23 reviews)

voco DARWIN SUITES by IHG ★★★★

📍 87 Mitchell Street, Darwin

"I stayed for three nights here. The room was very comfortable and everything new. Breakfast very satisfying and fresh. My only grumble would be the night club next door and the noise coming from this through to the early hours of the morning (5 am) I will be wearing my earplugs tonight."

Mindil Beach Casino Resort
7.4 (108 reviews)

Mindil Beach Casino Resort ★★★★★

📍 Mindil Beach, Gilruth Ave, Darwin City, The Gardens

"Everything was excellent during our stay, very friendly staff, great food options and facilities and the location and sunsets were beautiful.  The only let down was not being told there was a function on and being moved from bar to bar as they closed."

Rydges Darwin Central

Rydges Darwin Central ★★★★

📍 21 Knuckey St, Darwin City, Darwin

"Internet does not work"

Argus Hotel Darwin
9.2 (99 reviews)

Argus Hotel Darwin ★★★

📍 13 Shepherd St, Darwin

"Stayed 2 nights in May 2026. Location is walking distance to supermarket plus F&B places. Room is clean n breakfast provided is continental which suffice for me. It starts at 5.30am which facilitates having a quick breakfast before you get picked up for day tours to Litchfield Nature Reserve or equivalent. The pick up times are around 545 to 6am. Service staff are friendly n helpful. There is a small pool good only for dipping."

The Heritage Darwin
7.3 (52 reviews)

The Heritage Darwin ★★★

📍 84 Mitchell St, Darwin City, Darwin

"If you arrive outside the reception hours of 8 to 5 you will have to go to the H on Mitchell Street to check in. I didn’t get the text because apparently trip.com had given them some random number, definitely not mine. Other than that, it’s very noisy on a Friday night so make sure you have your earplugs, I messaged them about a couple of things (the kettle didn’t turn itself off after it boiled, there was no hot water coming out of the sink tap), bed was comfortable, location was good."

Mercure Darwin Airport Resort
8.4 (123 reviews)

Mercure Darwin Airport Resort ★★★★

📍 2 Henry Wrigley Dr, Eaton

"The Mercure is the pick of the Darwin Airport hotels and they capitalize on their airport location by cranking up the price. Also our flight came into Darwin after midnight and the airport shuttle phone number they provided was unanswered so we endured the 9 minute walk from the airport with our cases. Checked in about 1:00 and requested a late check out. The hotel had plenty of availability but they still charged $60 for the privilege. Rooms are comfortable but looking a bit tatty now. Even so we had a nice , but short stay"

Hilton Darwin
8.6 (64 reviews)

Hilton Darwin ★★★★★

📍 32 Mitchell St, Darwin City, Darwin

"Room facilities are old"

Darwin Waterfront Short Stay Apartments
9.2 (160 reviews)

Darwin Waterfront Short Stay Apartments ★★★

📍 Shop D4A/19 Kitchener Dr, Darwin

"I came here to play when there were fewer people and I avoided the peak hours. The environment was pretty good, the room was clean, and the staff was very nice. It is worth recommending and I will come again in the future."

8.2 (46 reviews)

Metro Advance Apartments & Hotel ★★★★

📍 55 Cavenagh St, Darwin City, Darwin

voco DARWIN SUITES by IHG ★★★★
"I recently had a very good stay at the Voco Darwin, central location, noisy on the Friday and Saturday nights. I wish I had taken note of his name but a wonderful front desk gentleman gave us outstanding help, and always a great smile. I did like the daily servicing! We didn't use the restaurant as we were visiting family. But the decor looked great. I used the pool a few times it was very nice, pool towels a good touch. We stayed a 2 bedroom, but was quite disappointed with the 2nd bedroom, No bedside tables no hanging space, basically only the bed, which surprised me as the rest of the apartment was fine. As far as I can tell the 2 bedroom cannot have an ocean view, I checked the hotel map. Overall pleasant stay."

Mindil Beach Casino Resort ★★★★★
"We were downgraded our room and not told until checking in that our booked room was u available due to renovations. It was clear the renovations have been underway for a long time and they could have let us know well in advance. 2 different friends were upgraded to a lagoon room room. We were downgraded to twin beds in a very rundown room. There is no power beside the bed. The power is inconveniently on the other side of the room. It was not until leaving that the bed moved and we found an outlet behind the bed. You would need to pull the bed away from the wall to allow for your charging sockets to be plugged in. There is no headboard to keep pillows on the bed, so it needs to be against the wall. The bathroom was terribly. Chipped tiles, chipped door and frame, worn bathtub with spots of enamel missing, a rusted bin. No car parking was available we were told because it was a Saturday night. Not sure that matters when we booked months in advance. Also not when we saw all the empty spots in the hotel carpark the next morning. Unacceptable accommodation for the cost. We attended a function at the casino, so and the location was convenient. But that was all. If we knew the room would be so dilapidated, we would have stayed at nearby Cullen Bay and uber down the hill. The staff did not care that we had booked in advance. They didn’t care we were part of a function that had spent a lot of money at their venue. The breakfast and drink was understandable, but the lack of communication was totally unacceptable. The falsely took bookings from 3 different people in our function group who did not get the rooms they booked due to renovations. Oh, and the critters are cute but out at night time, foraging outside the hotel doors."

"Found this hotel too basic not at all like the usual Hilton Hotel. However the staff at the reception (the French man can’t remember his name) was most helpful."

Metro Advance Apartments & Hotel ★★★★
"Absolutely disgusted with this hotel. I paid $888 for the room, plus $40 per day for parking, and a $220 security bond. They refused to refund my $220 bond, falsely claiming the room required cleaning. I have timestamped photos proving I left the room clean. Customer service was terrible—they wouldn’t even respond to simple requests like bringing fresh towels. This place feels like a scam that takes your money and makes false claims to keep your bond. I would not recommend anyone stay here. Worst hotel experience I’ve had. Also the manager will not reply or answer me GUYS STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE There was a water leak that was emergency to emergency when I called that number they said they don’t have a emergency job that cannot do anything about it professional place and dangerous I raised up this matter when I slipped over and still dune nothing about it In stars of saying sorry we will remove you to a different safer room they ignored the fact safety"
