Hilton Garden Inn Darwin

10/10 Excellent

"Typical clean, well maintained Hilton room. Room was good size and had a small balcony. Outdoor parking lot, no charge, worked for our 4WD truck with rooftop tent. Next to waterfront park and CBD (downtown). Reasonable price."

Novotel Darwin CBD

8/10 Good

"Hotel and room clean. Comfy beds. Would stay here again but disappointed nil mini bar and also limited to no bathroom amenities, only soap and shampoo. No moisturisers and creams. Also no complimentary water in the room. The water in the spa near the pool also needed a clean. Breakfast buffet choices were really good. Staff great. The introduction of the table tennis was great for the kids. "
