Hilton Hotels in Darwin

We stayed here for 6 nights in an apartment. The first apartment we were in, was very nice modern, and a good size, the couch though was very low and uncomfortable to sit on, it was a click clack lounge. We also found the whole place was very dirty, the cleanliness was disgusting. There were dirty marks on the walls and cupboards, the floor was dirty, and the skirting boards have never been cleaned, the bedside tables were dirty, as was the drawers, I wiped them all down before putting our stuff in them, the bathroom cupboard had dead baby cockroaches in it, and smelt very strongly of insect spray. The bed was comfortable, but made a terrible noise when getting into it. The air conditioner in the lounge, did not work, because it was a public holiday they could not get an electrician, we were offered another room, which was a little smaller, so we said we would wait to the next day for the electrician, next day the electrician could not come, so one of the workers came and said he would clean it, after being cleaned, it still didn’t work, so we were offered another room, which we took. This apartment was bigger than the last, again it was very nice, they are modern, it’s a shame they are not cleaned and looked after. The same lounge, a click clack lounge, which is not comfy and too low. The floor next to the bed was disgusting, there was like orange juice or something orange and sticky, and also on the bedside table, so I cleaned that, but there was lots of dust balls on the floor and behind the curtains, the bathroom had mildew around the taps and sink hole, and around the toilet was not cleaned properly. there were dirty food marks around the dishwasher. The walls had dirty marks on them, and the skirting boards were also dirty. There is a laundry in the apartment, which was good. As for room service, I think we got it once the whole time we were there, and that was, replace our towels and empty the bin, the tea and coffee or the bathroom items were not replaced or refilled either. There were no blankets in the room, just a sheet on the bed, so we had to ask for a blanket. The noise in the corridors carry, Then there’s the staff at the reception desk ; there were a few different staff there each time we went, which were all not very courteous, and impolite. There is secure parking, but that comes at a cost also on top of your accommodation costs. The good thing is , the hotel is central, and walking distance to the mall, and supermarket across the road, and restaurants nearby. The downside is definitely the cleanliness , there is none. Very unhygienic.

The rooms are very good value for money The breakfast buffet is very good The hotel is located in the downtown area Convenient Free parking Parking with access control at night Very safe Also free pool and gym

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.

I like the swimming pool most and I am very comfortable. Use the special salt for the pool to disinfect and not stick to the skin. clean.

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.

Perfect location with all the restaurants, Stokes wharf, gardens at your doorstep. Reception staff excellent. Curves for breakfast, book when you arrive $20 pp only, as opposed to $38pp if you just front. Ubers and taxis dead easy. Easy walk via sky Bridge to city.

The hotel is conveniently located in the city centre and is within walking distance of two supermarkets. The apartment can cook its own laundry. The front desk service is warm and friendly. The only thing to note is that the apartment kitchen location will have a small plaque at night. It is recommended that the hotel regularly kill insects. There is no landline phone in the apartment and you need to call the front desk with your mobile phone.

We stayed in both apartment types of the studio type one bedroom. The main difference other than the size of the room is The studio has only a shower room and the refrigerator has no freezer. There is no washing machine dryer The apartment type had a bathtub, a freezer, a washing machine and a dryer, and a detergent. The laundry was convenient in my room. Convenient location in the center but very quiet There was a supermarket a 1-minute walk away

Absolutely awesome service by the staff at the Cav! Unfortunately I had to be hospitalised for a night the afternoon and had to extend our stay for another 3 nights. Joy Joy (the manager) was very compassionate and sympathetic and looked after us. The rooms were comfy and had great aircon and a full sized fridge instead of those tiny fridges. The pool is stunning and the atmosphere was incredible with live singers every night. Food was delicious. The 90 day grain fed, 40 day dry aged tri tip was heaven on a plate. Highly highly highly recommend. Will most definitely stay here next time we are in Darwin!
