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

"Beautiful hotel. Great swimming pool area."

The Heritage Darwin
7.2 (50 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."

Mom Darwin
7.5 (36 reviews)

Mom Darwin ★★★

📍 7/52 Mitchell St, Darwin

"There's no price competition in the area. For the price, it's a disaster. The windows probably haven't been cleaned since new, and the bedsheets are torn."

Hudson Parap
9.2 (91 reviews)

Hudson Parap ★★★★

📍 49 Parap Rd, Parap

"The apartment-style room was spacious and enough for two people. The smell in the room was a bit bothersome, but there was a washing machine, a regular-sized refrigerator, and a unit-type bathtub, so we were able to stay comfortably. It's about a 5-10 minute drive from the CBD, but we had a car so it wasn't a problem, and the location was quiet and nice. There was a morning market held on Saturdays about a 3-minute walk away, and it was fun to look around. I'll definitely stay at this hotel again when I go to Darwin."

Darwin Waterfront Short Stay Apartments
9.2 (161 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."

Novotel Darwin Airport
8.8 (139 reviews)

Novotel Darwin Airport ★★★★

📍 2 Henry Wrigley Dr, Eaton

"It is only a few hundred meters away from the airport, and it is very convenient to walk. This place is suitable for transit. There is a bus stop about 1 km away. Now the bus in Darwin is still free."

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."

"Very average hotel for the price you pay. Only good thing is location, otherwise the room is noisey and bright. Reception never seemed to be manned."

Mercure Darwin Airport Resort ★★★★
"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"

Mom Darwin ★★★
"The staff was really helpful. They have 2 swimming pools, which was very unexpected. They have a good WiFi connection. It is close to the bay, bus lines, and stores. The only downside was the AC and humidity. It was easy to have condensation on the walls or belongings that didn't fit into the locker."
