Room is clean and the location is perfect as it’s right at the CBD. However, the security screen door has no lock ( I was on upper floor) which means it’s useless.
The hotel is located in the town centre, for day trips or by AAT Kings long-distance bus. The airport bus also passes by the hotel. There are regular shifts, which can be inquired and booked with the front desk. Two or more people are recommended to take a taxi, which saves time. If you want to watch the sunset on ANZAC Hill, you can walk on foot, about 15 minutes walk. A large supermarket is just a 2-minute walk from the hotel. The hotel room is large and very comfortable! The facilities are OK, the price is very high.
A groovy little resort. We epecially loved our time around the pool, taking advantage, along with other guests, of the special little tropical cocktail bar.
All of the reception staff were wonderful! They all went right out of their way to help us out in a situation caused by flight changes. Standout, was the girl on late night shift, Monday
29th August.
Very happy with this place.

The location is very good, looking west to see the most beautiful sunset and sunset in Darwin, the facilities are complete, **, Italian, Chinese, swimming pool..., the front desk service is warm and thoughtful, the room is clean and tidy, facing the lagoon pool, the indoor area is big enough.
The disadvantage is that the door from the room into the bathroom is too thick, every time the in and out will automatically close, trouble and close the door momentarily loud.
When the checkout, I knew that the mineral water in the minibar was charged, but housekeeping and the waiter who checked the minibar entered the room and said it was free. As a result, four bottles were charged 24 Australian dollars when the checkout was done. I was too lazy to talk to the front desk about the theory. I felt that I was also seeing people. The nice guy takes the money.
It is best not to include breakfast in the reservation, because there are several fixed meals (see photo) with breakfast. The drink can be selected for black coffee and English black tea. Never pay attention to the cup that drinks water. Once the cup is not cleaned at all, there are other people eating the residue. Most of the restaurant waiters are Buddhist, busy but lost, the whole wheat bread, the white bread, promised to change after no later, I can think of my own bad luck and leave, this is the best hotel in Darwin. 4-5 thousand RMB per night, but compared with the same price hotels in China, the service is still much checked, and the hotel facilities are a little old.
The location is very good and easy to find. The hotel has breakfast and can be booked in advance, which is more convenient. The carpet in the room is about color, it looks old and not too refreshing.
I love this hotel, as this hotel is located in the city center. Good access to shops and supermarket. Even there are some night markets outside the hotel in some special day. Therefore, I do love the location. For the room, the room is so cozy and good! Although I don't like that there are no window in my room. However, I do love that the room is real big and comfortable. Also, there is receptionist from Hong Kong who has helped me a lot! Good!
The service is very good, you can order food at any time, especially good.
But the interior of the room is old and does not belong to the configuration of Hilton. And mineral water is not provided, you have to buy it yourself.
Isolated north of Darwin. Very quiet and peaceful just around 20 minutes from town. There is a restaurant onsight that operates breakfast n dinner. Pleasant place thought the pool can use some cleaning. Otherwise, good stay!
We had a king water view which was lovely. The bed very comfortable but bathroom very small compared to other Hiltons we have stayed at. It was not cheap at $389!a night but it did include breakfast. We never include breakfast as we are not big breakfast people and those $30-$40 per person buffets are not worth it for us. Since it was included we had some but disappointed to find that a barrister coffee was extra and $7 for a small cup. This was the only option for non dairy coffees. That said the reception staff were very friendly and efficient. No water in room not even a jug to cool some tsp water. Nice big flat screen tv and whilst there were no streaming services on it there were some free movies. No usb points in the room and only one comfortable chair.
Great

GGuest UserRoom is clean and the location is perfect as it’s right at the CBD. However, the security screen door has no lock ( I was on upper floor) which means it’s useless.
GGuest UserGreat location. Basic rooms with comfortable bed. Limited options for breakfast - we eventually found out about the “pool view” cafe in the Novotel (the pool is dry) which had better breakfast options for us as we had small children who only wanted toast and not the buffet breakfast at the Mercure. (We were told it would be $15 for children over 5 (our grandchild is 6) but then other people said they were told it was free.!? Had some trouble with parking - paying guests should be assigned at least 1 car park per room - however this wasn’t the case and we had to park in the “overflow” area across the road and carry our luggage over. Definitely need a car or vehicle to go anywhere. Great new pool but don’t stand on the fake turf on a hot day as it burns your feet! Don’t forget to ask for “Territorian rates” if you are a local - show your drivers licence and get a discount.
YYi ๛กThis is my favorite hotel in the whole trip! The stay experience was completely beyond my expectations. The restaurant in the resort is very good, with many choices, and the business hours include breakfast, lunch and dinner. The rest of the activities that can be booked are all near the hotel, which is very convenient for travel!
DDanielwe enjoyed a lot our stay in Desert Palms, cosy bungalows, walking distance from city, good pool, very friendly, helpful and welcoming staff. It is great the bungalows have a kitchenette well equiped. Beds could be better but overall we sleep well.

LLow Siong Lye 27052025I had a great stay at Capitanos! The location was incredibly convenient—just a short walk from the beautiful beaches and close to major supermarkets like Coles, which made picking up essentials really easy. There were also several good bars and restaurants nearby, offering plenty of dining options without having to go far.
The highlight, though, was the staff. They were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout my stay, always ready to assist with a smile. Whether it was answering questions, giving local tips, or just creating a welcoming atmosphere, their service really stood out.
Overall, Capitanos offered a comfortable and well-located base for exploring the area. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting!
VVana LobatoUpon first check in, the receptionist confirmed that we paid through Trip.com but after taking the bond payment he then straight away told us he hasn’t received any payment and asked us to show our proof of payments such as trip.com confirmation, bank transfer, & even statement of bank deduction. We showed confirmation, bank transfer, statements as he asked and then the receptionist refused and insisted we haven’t paid. He refused all the proofs and insisted us to make another payment with them. He refused us to talk to the supervisor because he said “they will say the same thing”. Unfortunately, we didn’t get his name, so we couldn’t specify who he was. Terrible services.
GGuest UserMy son loves to stay there because of the swimming pool. Unfortunately the pool was closed. So we need to go to Garden Hilton instead.
We always enjoy the front desk staff in our previous stays. This time no exception, he was very good. I cannot recall his name though.
We have paid for our breakfast with the booking. But when we were in the restaurant, the staff cannot find our room number. We went to front desk, the lady told me we haven't paid for the breakfast. In the end, I have to show her our booking details. In my view, this should be avioded if the hotel had do the job properly.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
