I can understand the criticisms of other reviewers who compare this to other Hilton Hotels (or five star hotels) in big cities around the world and say this is not up to standard. But this is Alice Springs, not Paris, and I feel allowances can to be made for that. If you compare it, instead, to what else is on... More

We spent 1 night here before boarding The Ghan and 1 night after our Red Centre tour before flying home. Arrived in the morning on cross over day from Crowne Plaza to Hilton Double Tree. The Reception were having problems with the new computer system and though we would have to wait 2 or 3 hours before we could book... More

I agree with recent posted reviews. The place needs a lot of work. It looks and feels tired, but has just switched over to Hilton management. We ate at the in house café. Lots of drinkers/diners and a good atmosphere. The meal was a disaster. Thai fish balls were rubber and returned. The other tasters hardly any better. We then... More

There was nothing specifically wrong with this hotel. Room was OK, clean, but just tired, worn and dated. We had a balcony facing the mountains. A nice surprise was that it backed on to a nice little golf course so we were able to play several rounds by just walking out the back door. While the hotel is walking distance... More

I loved my stay at Double tree (what a stupid name, I bet Paris Hilton was on drugs when she made that up). The rooms are a bit tired, but I'm sure they will be refurbished soon with the Hilton influence. Hannumans restraunt was awesome!! The staff were fantastic!! Particular mention to Matthew, the night manager. He bent over backwards... More

My complaint was the Recption staff were not friendly. Received a cold welcome. The room was ok a bit on the dark side, needed more lighting. About 2 km's out of town. They had porter service, on our departure they didn't turn up to pick up our bags from our room. We had to carry them down ourselves just in... More

The hotel has recently been renamed a Doubletree by Hilton as of May 1. Let's hope the Hilton people spruce up the place. It's not a bad hotel, the lobby is large and the rooms are large too. I had a room with a view of the McDonnells. The bed was quite comfortable and I felt fairly safe even with... More

We stayed at the Crowne Plaza for 2 nights in total (1 night before we left on our camping trip and 1 night after). It was a good place to stay for a few nights but I wouldn't have wanted to stay any longer. The room was nice but nothing special and the location wasn't brilliant. It was quite far... More

The hotel was average and OK for a couple of nights.A taxi ride into town and restaurants so I tried room service which was fine. Biggest complaint in this modern age is that there is no WiFi in the rooms! Only available in a small area in reception. Hotel staff friendly and generally helpful. No reduction for a single person.
