It was convienent for the tour we were taking as this was a pick up point. The room was clean but smelled strongly of men's cologne. The pool is a salt water pool and very cold. They had laundry facilities but the system of payment was very difficult to manage.

Front desk staff were excellent. However the cleaning staff were not great - bathroom and room were not cleaned properly. Cleaning was done haphazardly. Also had an issue with one of the wait staff in the restaurant who was extremely rude to me. If ever I go back to Darwin I would not choose this hotel

Great stay

We really enjoyed our stay. Our room had an amazing view of the bay and sunset and we were a pleasant 10-15 minute walk along the promenade to the downtown restaurants and bars. The staff were all pleasant and very helpful and they offer a great breakfast. We really appreciated the fresh fruit and juice options. We would definitely stay again.

This time we took advantage of the late checkout deal and it was so nice to just take our time and relax before we had to leave, Thank you for a great stay and we look forward to more great times spent with Hilton.
