Hotels Near Darwin Tourist Guide (Self-Guided walking tour) by FreeGuides.com in Darwin

There are some. The optional room type for the twin and queen rooms is actually to split the double bed into two. The surrounding environment is also available on Darwin’s main street.

The staff were welcoming and friendly. Dinushka Goonathalake looked after us very well. Having stayed for a conference a previous week we were most appreciative of a lovely room opening onto the park overlooking the bay on our return from adventuring in Arnem Land. Our room was always fresh and light, the bathroom modern. We appreciated access to open air from the small balcony. A good variety of teas was provided. The atmosphere was relaxed, suiting Darwin's tropical feel. Freshly prepared breakfast on the terrace or indoors and excellent coffee available if desired. Easily accessible morning & evening walks in the park along the bay to town and nearby restaurants was an added bonus.

The hotel is in a good location, the core area, to the pedestrian street, supermarket, crocodile park and World War II park, the seaside, etc. are relatively close, walk for a few minutes to twenty minutes. I fixed the apartment. When I was ready to wash my clothes at night, I found that the washing machine didn't work. Moreover, there was a kitchen in the washing machine where the former guest was placed inside the kitchen to wipe the tablecloth. Without washing, it was sour and smelly, and I was too lazy to ask the front desk for feedback. Cleaning should be strengthened!

My stay here was marred by the unnecessarily long check in process involving paperwork that could have been done electronically during the booking process - and my ongoing annoyance at being charged an additional $100 security bond at check in. All in the middle of the night, for a prepaid booking. Was assured the $100 would be refunded the next day, but 5 days later it hasn't been. Phoned the reception to enquire and was told by a rude receptionist that it was my banks problem and that they are entitled to charge this fee ”in case I damaged the room”. I haven't ever been charged more than a $1 holding fee before, so am not impressed with this ”management policy”, particularly given the room was prepaid. The actual room was clean and comfortable, a light breakfast is included which is good value. Parking is an additional charge - it would be very difficult to park here with a large 4WD, the spaces are tiny. I'm really disappointed that the management processes seem to be all about not trusting guests and making staying there a complex process...it's actually a nice hotel that is thoughtfully set up for short stay travellers, but I left with a bad feeling and feel sorry for the night reception staff who have to enforce ”policy”. Everywhere these days there are signs up about abuse not being tolerated...being combative towards paying customers isn't helpful.

First impressions were a bit disappointing as the overall look was a bit old and tatty but that's really a little harsh as the place is very spacious and well equipped but the appliances are showing signs of age and general damage, hence the tatty feel. It felt clean overall..... although the top of the cooker hood hadn't been cleaned in a while and there was a bottle of water under the bed which wasn't ours! That's being really picky though. There was no one at reception when we arrived mid afternoon on a Sunday and we hadn't received our arrival email as it was sent while we were in flight. Consequently we had to use the emergency phone there and someone talked us through opening the key safe and all was well. The smoke alarm had been removed leaving just the base plate on the ceiling. I am guessing possibly because it's outside the bathroom and the shower steam had been setting it off. It wasn't a worry to us as the building is only 2 floors and we had steps right outside our door, but I suspect this would be in breach of rules and regulations for rentals. It was nice to have a shower that was easy to operate! It wasn't full during our stay but it was very quiet to sleep and we generally didn't hear any noise from neighbouring rooms. It's only a small property with a central pool area which again wasn't noisy. The other thing we felt on arrival was that it was too far out of town. I think being Sunday it felt quieter but in reality it's just a 5 minute walk to Woolworths and proved to be a great location. We really enjoyed our stay and were sorry to leave.

My second stay. It’s a fabulous apartment hotel Very clean, everything you need inc DW and washing machine Pool is Devine Breakfast had all the trimmings The staff were more than hospitable We had drinks in the penthouse bar, and were served complimentary nibbles Whilst the manager made himself known and made us very welcome Love the place will visit again

Used Darwin Resort as our port of call while holidaying in Darwin, before road-tripping back to Alice. Found the resort to be almost ideal. It's not in Darwin City itself, which would be a problem if you don't have a car, but for those with cars, Darwin and Casurina is only about 10 - 15 minutes away, while it's also ideally situated for getting away from the city and out to Litchfield for the day. It also has quite a nice pool, and unlike many, actually has shade for it. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the restaurant is shut, but since we were on a budget holiday, that wasn't such an issue either. There were a number of takeways within a 5 minute drive, and we ended up eating at Casurina or Stokes Hill Warf anyway. Staff were professional and friendly, rooms were... well, hotel rooms. Airconditioned, clean, no noise - what more can you really say? Thoroughly recommend for families with cars.

I liked the garden and sit out at night rather than most hotels you just have a room maybe a balcony but with garden all around you it's great

This camp is quite large, and there are many room types. It is next to the road in and out of Darwin. The transportation is convenient. There is a gas station at the door. It is good and cheap. It is recommended. Note: Some room types are public toilets, so you can see clearly when booking. Key needs to pay deposit (recommended cash), check out directly to bring back cash, more convenient.

Visiting family, having own kitchen and facilities was extremely comfortable. Hotel is well looked after. Bit of maintenance but nothing major. Thanks Quest Palmerston Team!
