Darwin hotellia

Plussat: Huge, modern apartment with two balconies. Well equipped, comfortable, clean and within easy walking distance of the city centre. Also close to the waterfront. Reception staff were exceptionally helpful. The apartments are serviced every couple of days which is fine. There is a poolside barbecue and tools are available from reception. Onsite (basement) parking is available and affordable unlike many city centre apartment blocks,

Miinukset: Pool was quite cool (surprising in view of the high ambient temperature). Some paintwork was beginning to get a bit tired (e,g, wooden doors and door frames)

Plussat: Great bed, great coffee. Great everything

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: The car park is difficult to access..

Plussat: Roomy very clean and well equipped for our needs and a short walk to town

Miinukset: One couch needs replacing cannot be sat in sags badly. Didn’t appreciate having to pay a daily undercover parking rate

Plussat: Everything else was great, especially staff communication in person or via email.

Miinukset: Only thing I didn't like was the beds, they were made of something quite thin.

Plussat: The staff are really friendly and extremely helpful. We would recommend Argus Apartments.

Plussat: The service was fantastic, as it was a nice evening i asked if I could change my room to one with a balcony to sit outside. Without any fuss Sam changed my room over.

Miinukset: Location is not that close to the main dining areas that I like, I would prefer to walk around after work, have a few drinks without having to drive. However the service on arrival & after I received an email from Renee looking to build a corporate deal will most likely get me back anyhow.

Plussat: Lovely clean and spacious suite with excellent kitchen in a great area right near the Saturday markets. The service and welcome was amazing. Special thanks to Heidi who really helped us with everything.

Miinukset: Nothing at all.

Plussat: Fabulous location opposite the Parap Fine Foods store and Saturday market. Roomy, clean and with a balcony and pool. We loved our stay here and would definitely recommend it!

Plussat: The size of the one bedroom apartment and comfortable bed.

Miinukset: Needs a supermarket at the shops over the road

Plussat: The convienience to shopping facilities and the easy of catching up with family who live in Darein

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Mainio, siisti villa.

Plussat: Amazing facilities, really gorgeous setting with tropical garden and swimming pool. Staff was great and very friendly.

Miinukset: Strong "green" / murky smell coming from the A/C. Couldn't use it. We paid quite a lot of attention to booking a specific room type because of certain requirements we had. Were put in a different room type without any comment. It wasn't really a problem and I'm sure we could have talked to the receptionist about it. But still weird, especially since the room type we ended up in was one that was not available at time of booking.

Plussat: Nice property handy for the waterfront and central Darwin. Nice pool, friendly staff.

Plussat: we will be back

Plussat: The location was excellent and close to the shopping precinct, harbour and water front areas. The breakfast was excellent everyday with a good selection of hot and cold food on offer. The bed was very comfortable and the room was kept clean.

Miinukset: The room was quite small especially the bathroom area. It would have been better having easier access to the pool. We didn't like the fact that our room overlooked a big sign and you could not see the pool area.

Plussat: The location is great, close to the water front, close to the city and shops, and close to many eating places. the surrounds are very lush and tropical and the pool looks great. Having a sink, fridge and a few bits and pieces allowed us to do breakfast and lunch easily.

Plussat: Location excellent, esp having the hotel that provided a good value meal next door. Place was spotless.

Plussat: Viidakko keskellä kaupunkia, hieno paikka.

Miinukset: Aamupalan laatu ja hinta. Hinta korkea, laatu huono.

Plussat: The pool was kids under 2 friendly

Miinukset: Only having a breakfast restaurant made it a little hard but there is plenty of places just a short walk away.

Plussat: The rooms where quiet cosy had a nice pool and the staff where very helpful

Miinukset: There wasnt anything I did'nt like about this Resort

Plussat: The staff was very friendly and helpful, The microwave oven, sink and crockery came very handy. The room was cleaned and serviced daily which was a nice gesture. The Resort is in a TOP spot, walking distance to shops, the 'Wave Pool', Restaurants and so on. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Miinukset: The Duplex Villa is a bit small, but the verandah made up for lack of space inside. The room could have done with an extra wicker chair instead of only one and maybe a small round table.

Plussat: Nice quiet and convenient location. A lovely sheltered pool for a refreshing swim in lovely surrounds.

Miinukset: A little compact but larger units were available if preferred.

Plussat: the room was spacous, the staff were excellent

Miinukset: the private spa was not privatecould of had a few more facilitys i.e a games room, inhouse meals and the wifi did not work and tv recepoit was very poor

Plussat: The villas were excellent and the provision of an electric bbq on the balcony was a welcome addition. the pool was a welcome respite - overall the facilities were great

Miinukset:

Plussat: The proximity of the hotel to points of interest within Darwin City was excellent. It is also good value considering it's location.

Miinukset:

Plussat: I loved the location,so close to everything,friendly staff,comfortable room,lovely pool area.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Beautiful surrounding gardens and the rooms were clean and comfortable.

Miinukset: Noise level, from nearby pubs on the weekend, could hear the bands playing, people going past drunk. Road sweepers every night and lots of traffic noise very early in the morning.

Plussat: Very friendly and nice staff. Nice pool area with palms and deckchairs. Nice facilities (laundry, etc.(

Miinukset: We wrote an extra complaint already. We stayed three nights at the Palms City. Two of them were fine. The last one unfortunately a nightmare. We were hunting 20 - 30 bugs all night long and couldn't get to sleep because it was really discusting and disrupting. When we used the insects spray, it even got worse and we had an invasion of bugs coming out from the corners of the room and from under the bed. Please see our complaint form we filled in at check-out. We would expect a refund for the last night!

Plussat: The room was very clean and the pillows and mattress very comfortable.

Miinukset: My food was cold so my brother kindly swapped with me. Unfortunately his meal, a beef schnitzel was really overcooked, making it dry and inedible. The amount of gravy was minuscule, served in a tiny bowl. When I asked the staff for more, I was informed that they had run out.

Plussat: Restaurant Male staff we had for dinner, was outstanding, best service I have ever had!!! Dinner was very nice and came out in a good time. Room was very nice and clean and a nice property in general.

Miinukset: Check-in took forever and was extremely slow. Lady at the desk was nice and polite, but spent more time on the phone to her "boss" instead of serving customers. The aircon in the room was terrible, didn't work properly during the night. One minute it was freezing cold and the next it was terribly hot and uncomfortable. Breakfast took very long to received for the amount of people that was in there at the time. Room would benefit from having a sink next to the fridge so you could wash up, bathroom sink is not sufficient enough, can't even fit a water bottle under the tap, so how was the jug meant to be filled up?!?

Plussat: The rooms were very clean and comfortable, the area was very quiet and I loved walking to the beach every day

Miinukset: I thought some of the rock gardens could have had more plants and foliage to reduce the heat around the buildings

Plussat: Room was spacious and clean The parking was great just outside the room And plenty of it. The gardens around the property were beautiful

Miinukset: Nil

Plussat: Comfortable and clean room. Friendly staff. Will stay there again.

Plussat: Nice quiet out of the way hideaway

Plussat: We loved the whole 5 nights we stayed here. Room was great , clean and the balcony was great in the morning for a coffee and late nightcap. We tried the restaurant one night and it was nice food at a reasonable price. The staff were lovely too .

Miinukset: We would have liked the bar to be opened at 3. 5 o’clock was a bit late .

Plussat: Microwave, cutlery & crockery plus access to a bbq which means you may prepare meals in your room. Two pools but remember to ask for the pool towels from reception. Proximity to Hibiscus shopping centre Leanyer where you can buy supplies or lunch. There is a restaurant at the resort but it is closed for lunch.

Miinukset: Pool towels already in the room. Is there a microwave dish to use in the microwave? Not knowing in advance to bring groceries.

Plussat: The place was great. Central to everything but quiet at night. The room upgrade was brilliant. The staff were great. We arrive very early and they held our bags and gave us access to the pool and an early check in when the room was ready.

Miinukset: It was great.

Plussat: The Metro Advance Hotel is in a great area. We walked everywhere we wanted to see except for the airport. We had a studio apartment and with 2 large grocery stores nearby it was easy to cook a quick meal. The laundry room was especially appreciated. The pool area looked inviting but it was closed for repairs. They offered one across the street but we didn't try it. There are nearby restaurants that cover every ethnicity, a mall for shopping, and beaches.

Miinukset: Can't think of anything.

Plussat: Very friendly staff and in overall great value for money :)

Plussat: Location was great very central and in walking distance to lots of the places we visited.

Plussat: everything a service apartment should have been. Clean & comfortable. plus upgrader to a bigger apartment with laundry facilities.

Miinukset: tv had tobe changed, then difficulty tuning.

Plussat: Location and price

Plussat: The TV can play your external HDD

Miinukset: The rooms smelled and the rooms would did not get cleaned properly

Plussat: Easy to come and go. Check in and check out very efficient. In house car park system works well but at A$15 extra/night is pricey for extended stay.

Miinukset: Staff organisation for breakfast was very variable, and unable to cope with peak loading, person in charge changing daily and staff lacking clear and consistent direction. Food selection very basic and variety lacking.

Plussat: Otherwise the apartment is clean, comfy bed. Breakfast was included and was tastey with lots of options.

Miinukset: When I first walked in the room smelled like heavy-duty, industrial-strength bleach!

Plussat: The location was perfect and the view from the room even better. The price was definitely a draw card. Breakfast served from the OAK restaurant downstairs was amazing and reasonably priced. Everything inside the room was cosy and the pillows and bed were super comfortable!

Plussat: Big room

Miinukset: We found dirty socks and a nappy in the master bedroom.

Plussat: Was very clean and had a great harbour view

Miinukset: Was no door on the bedroom so found it very hard to sleep

Plussat: Excellent location. Room was great and very comfortable. Eventhough I didn't use it I was very impressed a microwave was available in a Studio room. I was also very happy to have a safe in my room for my valuables.

Miinukset: I was surprised by few dollars extra charges

Plussat: Friendly staff. Very clean. Excellent all round.

Plussat: We booked a queen studio room with no view at a low price through booking.com and were upgraded to an apartment with a kitchen and waterfront view. Fabulous value for money. Close to restaurants and facilities and Darwin cbd.

Plussat: fabulous location and staff were wonderful.

Miinukset: NA

Plussat: Good rooms and close to airport. Food was great.

Plussat: i always stay here when i am in Darwin.

Plussat: The bed were comfortable. And bistro bar not far. Food are amazing.

Plussat: Good location close to the airport with free shuttle bus. Great meals at the pub next door. Pool towels provided for guests to use.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: It was comfortable clean and awesome view of the pool thankyou

Plussat: Location was great as it was only a short distance to the airport & the free shuttle was a bonus. Room was clean & comfortable & no road noise made it even better

Plussat: I enjoyed the quality linen and location.

Miinukset: The shower needed refurbishment. 2nd desk/table in room looked awkward and out of place.

Plussat: Pelit ja ruoka

Miinukset: Hidas netti

Plussat: There are two pools the resort (luxury villas) and the standard pool. As we only had a standard room we were in the standard pool area, but still fantastic. Close to Mindal Beach night market. Close to everything really. Sunsets in Summer are beautiful. Plenty of food options to choose from.

Miinukset: It is a Casino so that does tend to take away some of the niceness of the hotel.

Plussat: Great location and service probably the best staycation for locals.

Miinukset: Usual Australian poor internet speeds aling with additional parking fees next to the lagoon accommodation. You’d think if you’re paying a premium rate for the lagoon experience the parking nearest the rooms would be free. It would be a nice touch Mr Delaware!

Plussat: liked the pools , good variety in bars etc .. we stayed 3 nights staff very helpful and attentive very well placed for Big Bus Darwin Near to city , easy taxi/uber ride

Miinukset: noise from wedding till late on the Saturday night . next 2 nights were fine breakfast was only average room decor a bit "tired " otherwise fine

Plussat: Staff was very good helpful Clans our rooms are very clean and we had a damn good time we'll go back again

Miinukset: All good

Plussat: The lagoon pool was fantastic. Great views of the sunset. Delicious cocktails at the swim up bar.

Plussat: Location is one of the best in Darwin. Really enjoyed the facilities on offer, 2 different pools available to swim in and gym facilities to get those after work workouts in, which was great! a very beautiful place with great staff and loads of food and drink options

Miinukset: My coworker's room had some hairs on his towels which was a bit displeasing. the food options within the casino are great but are also quite expensive, I guess we were staying in a high-end place but would have been nice to have some basic food options at a cheaper price within the casino

Plussat: We were so impressed by the staff who were, without exception courteous, professional and absolutely delightful! Even though we stayed in the hotel part, we were still able to use all resort facilities and the beach pool at the resort was outstanding! Fitness centre was well equipped and the stay was wonderful!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great location Good pool bar but not 5 star

Plussat: Amazing Italian restaurant - food better than we as Europeans have had for many years even in Italy Good pool and bar

Miinukset: Basically found the game machines in the area next to the buffet area/lobby bar too much! Think there should be a place you can sit and have tea or drinks with your family which is not outside by the pool or in the adult sand bar but which does not have pokies! Too much

Plussat: The views are great from certain rooms at the hot

Miinukset: The bathroom shower and bathtub were combined together. This is the reason why I reduced the comfort down so far- it seems like it would be really difficult for either an elderly or overweight person or a disabled person who has a wheelchair to get into the showering facilities. People who are in these situations may not feel comfortable speaking up about this, however it's a genuine concern as it is a big step into the tub for me and I'm a slender, fit, and quite tall 30 year old. It seems like these people may be discriminated against, and truly consider the elderly- this is an age that most of your customers will reach and they will remember, 'oh the vibe isn't a good place for me to stay anymore because I can't use there bathroom', so it may affect your business.

Plussat: Great location, plenty of restaurants & bars at your door. The skywalk is great for access to CBD. Great breakfast & room service meals before 10pm where amazing. Free waterfront shuttle to Stokes wharf etc

Miinukset: No movie channel for Foxtel which would have been appreciated after a big day out. Beware of midges, got bitten at pool in late arvo.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Price for breakfast

Plussat: Great location and friendly pleasant staff. Modern decor and interior.

Miinukset: The hotel was modern but not particularly well maintained. It had a tackiness about it that is not reflected in the booking.com pictures. Paying $15 for overnight parking was also frustrating and it would be good if the adjoining parking lot was free for residents.

Plussat: What a lovely hotel and stay we had. The harbour view room was great and very clean, the breakfast was fantastic and such a range of food,the staff were just lovely and so friendly,great position,plenty of parking.Peaceful and a great pool area near the bar and restaurant. This is the place to stay if you’re in the centre of Darwin.

Plussat: Breakfast good but could do with changing it each day to make it more interesting. Location good, 5 minute wall to bars and eateries.

Miinukset: the balcony to the room was a waste of time. Could not get 2 chairs onto the balcony because it was to small.

Plussat: Location was good. Staff were very helpful.

Miinukset: Lack of maintenance and inspections. Noise coming from somewhere in the building at night. Finding out there was a guest laundry in the building prior to checking out. Small spaces between cars in the car park.

Plussat: Restaurant was lovely and close to everything

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Friendly staff. In a good location. Great view of the harbour if you are on the right side of the building

Plussat: Nice hotel with good views if you are on the right side of the building. Good bar and resurant

Miinukset: Pool is busy for the amount of people

Plussat: Liked everything that’s why I came back again, very appreciated the late late check in and out. Very easy for a travel weary customer to get into my room. Thank you will b back I sure

Miinukset: Doesn't look but from the outside but very clean rooms. Staff friendly and helpful. Everything you need for your stay, kettle, toaster, microwave, crockery and cutlery. Washing machine and drier even. Nice little pool, could do with a bit of a tidy up but so refreshing after a hot Darwin day. Cheap continental breakfast. Restaurant on site with amazing food. Would recommend for your stay in Darwin.

Plussat: Loved having my own washing machine, dryer and microwave. Good size oven 4 hotplates. Parking out the back excellent.

Miinukset: All was fine.

Miinukset: Wifi too slow

Plussat: big room with kitchen, pool and BBQ facility available

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Staff most helpful

Miinukset: Struggle to get my heavy bag to room. A lift would be v useful

Plussat: Lovely easy going check in, helpful breakfast attendant. Great layout, I could see my car from my room, easy bag carry. Secure ground floor premisis. Wonderful to have my own washing machine and dryer. Thanks everyone.

Miinukset: All was good. :)

Plussat: Great location, nice breakfast with plenty of choice and a wonderful bed.

Miinukset: While they do have it at the reception desk there was no cold water in the fridge in our room.

Plussat: Fantastic location

Miinukset: The rooms are old, especially the bathrooms. Food from the resturant was poor

Plussat: Good facilities and location. Public Spaces felt like a hotel should - on a grand scale

Miinukset: I would have liked openable windows and a ceiling fan to avoid using the A/C constantly. Maybe a microwave in room ?

Plussat: Very friendly and helpful staff! Room and bed was big and nice. Great food in the restaurant, especially for lunch and dinner. The pool area was really nice and quiet with a large pool and nearby bar.

Miinukset: The only small negatives I could come up with is that the bathroom was slightly old-school in the style and type and that my mobile internet was struggling slightly for connection inside the room unless standing next to the window.

Plussat: Room service

Miinukset: Cost of extending Bathrooms are tired Didn't clean my room one day

Plussat: Excellent stay. Great pool.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Loved our whole stay. The room was lovely. 1 bedroom 2 bathroom suite that didn't cost a fortune.

Miinukset: Enjoyed our stay very much. Staff were excellent and went out of their way to make sure our stay was exceptional There was nothing that we didn't like.

Plussat: Our check in and check out experience was very good Mayank the person at the reception was helpful and knew activities in around Darwin

Miinukset: The deposit of $ 100 collected is unwanted and refund back to the credit card takes time especially for an overseas traveller

Plussat: The bed was comfy. The food was good and the staff were very good. Helpful and went out of their way to make sure our stay was great. We will be back.

Miinukset: Enjoyed my whole stay nothing to dislike

Plussat: I love this place #1

Plussat: Fabulous location, everything you need on hand and spotlessly clean. Host was so friendly and helpful. The Tavern down the road served a hearty meal!

Miinukset: We weren’t there long enough!

Plussat: Great central location, clean rooms, friendly staff and value for money

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Terrific location, easy to access car parking. Close to local market and cafes Quiet location close to CBD Nice pool and surrounds.

Miinukset: Shower / toilet door was a bit short and not very private. A better coffee / toast / breakie bench would have been handy.

Miinukset: There was no wifi signal inside the room which is a must nowadays.other than that perfect

Plussat: Good location easy to all I wanted. Loved the gardens around motel. Cleanliness around motel,

Miinukset: nothing to complain about

Plussat: Very clean and convenient, Nice shady pool area.

Plussat: Nice and central, rooms are set out really well and fully equipped

Miinukset: I’m still Waiting on the return of my pre auth!

Plussat: In good location. Nice clean room, quiet with lovely pool overlooking city. Staff very obliging.

Miinukset: Hotel room was quite small compared to others we had stayed in. Hallway had a strange smell and when asking staff about it were give varing answers.

Plussat: The location on Knuckey St was convenient to the Smith St mall and about a 15 minute walk to the waterfront area, although in hot humid weather this is a bit far. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The unserviced one bed suit was spacious and the wi-fi was suitably strong. The kitchenette was quite well appointed with dishwasher, large fridge and stove top. The bathroom contained a good washing machine and tumble dryer. The ironing board and iron were good quality.

Miinukset: The room was somewhat drab and in need of a re-vamp; wardrobe doors were jammed and very difficult to shift, the outside handle to the balcony simply fell off, the room lacked good natural light and the white LEDs were dim and gave a cold feel, the bathroom was very dimly lit. The gym (one of the reasons I chose this hotel) was a tiny room with no natural light and very basic equipment, and with more than one person unpleasant to use.

Plussat: Rooms were great size with cooking facilities

Miinukset: A bit of a damp smell in hallway

Plussat: location is awesome, didnt eat there as many restaurants and shops close, particularly the mall etc, love the secure parking for bikes

Miinukset: funky smell as you get out of the lifts

Plussat: Location Staff Facilities

Plussat: Lovely apartment!

Plussat: Clean, modern facilities. Pool and gym were a nice touch.

Miinukset: No room service

Plussat: Location was great

Plussat: Great central CBD location n Darwin, friendly staff great northern wet season value

Miinukset: did not like the lighting in the room. Too cold looking with cfl bulbs.

Plussat: Good

Plussat: Location, friendly staff, central to my activities.
