The breakfast was a light continental and with limited fresh fruit, but it was convenient and the breakfast staff were very efficient in replenishing items. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. Our suite had a kitchenette with everything necessary but without a toaster. We would stay at the Argus again if ever in Darwin.

Room was good value for the money. Clean and bed comfortable, though did have a musty smell from the humidity. Ask for a room away from the lifts if you are a light sleeper. Breakfast provided in the dining area was basic, but good. No hot

The hotel was very good. Complimentary breakfast basic but adequate. The pool a little small but was never crowded. The room was good size but the bathroom was too compact and the shower was dismal - slippery bath, water pressure hopeless, kept changing temperature and was way too small.

Very clean, spacious rooms. 30 mins walk to waterfront . Extremely friendly helpful staff . Breakfast included fruit & yoghurt, cereals and toast, no cooked breakfast but what was provided was adequate for us. Aircon was good and quiet which I need to sleep , the hotel was quiet even though quite a few guests. Would recommend, good value for money.

Three Days in Darwin

Good sized and clean room with decent shower. On edge of town centre so quiet, but most locations within walking distance. Staff helpful. Laundry facility available. Only criticism is breakfast. Described as light continental and that is what you get. Toast and cereal. Fortunately, more substantial options available in town!

Loved the continental breakfast. The plunge pool was, as it said, just a plunge pool. Little space around it with only 4 loungers. Room is small, balcony so small can only have 1 small chair. OK for drying clothes. Turned off dehumifier as so noisy. We stayed here in 2 short breaks. Suited us as clisd to supermarket and not far to walk to restaurants. Helpful staff.
