We stayed for 2 nights, then another overnight after returning from a tour of Kakadu NP. The hotel is in a great location, far enough from the town centre to be quiet, but also within easy walking distance. The room, overlooking the Bi-Centennial Park and the sea, was fine, and the restaurant was excellent. All the staff we encountered were... more

Hotel is next to the park if you like quiet and a walk in the morning or evening. All rooms have a view of the sea even the rear side of the hotel. Internet rates obviously offer better values as we checked around non rated hotels nearby which were charging same tariff but without the amenities. If we have anything... more

Thanks for taking the time to review Holiday Inn Darwin. We have recognised the need to update some of our facilities and have recently replaced the bathroom fittings in all of our rooms. We have also completed the updating of the room air conditioning controls to allow our guests to select the temperature that suits them best. In addition, the...

A comfortable 3 star hotel, that is looking a little tired in certain areas. It is in a good location on the esplanade opposite the beach. More importantly it is in the quiet end of town. Apparently the drunks are up the other end. The breakfast was excellent. If you wanted a better alternative you could use the Holiday Inn... more

Fiona Christensen, Management Representative

Thanks for providing us with some feedback on our hotel. We’re pleased you enjoyed our breakfast – we think it could be the best in town! Holiday Inn Darwin has already begun refreshing a few of those “tired” areas, beginning with new air conditioning controls and bathroom fittings. January 2010 will see the start of an extensive refurbishment program that...

Careful selection of room is needed as there is a very noisy air conditioner on one side of the hotel. Great breakfast, adequate pool, resonable service. more

Thank you for taking the time to place your review. Noise from outside the hotel is an issue that we are always keen to resolve and your comments have highlighted an area for our consideration and prompted a review of data from a recent Noise Survey we conducted. We are all really proud of the beakfast in Poolside and were...

We stayed in this hotel in May for three nights. The hotel is ok, but a bit tired in some areas. The corridors are quite ugly to be honest. They really need a new carpet, different lighting and some plants / pictures on the wall to brighten up the place. Now it was just a bit scary. :) The room... more

Management response from
DarwinSp66, Manager

Dear guest It seems we've missed something on this occasion that is important to all of us, and that is the cleanliness of the carpet in your room. We're abreast that the rooms need updating and that is why we're in the process of a refurbishment plan for 2010, but when it comes to cleanliness we are normally rigorous about...

We don't go anywhere looking to find fault so perhaps we are not overly critical but we were completely happy with our accomodation at the Holiday Inn Darwin. From the time we arrived to the time we left the staff were fabulous - knowledgeable, friendly, helpful but not obtrusive. We had a few meals in the hotel and were very... more

we stayed at this hotel after a few days at one of the newer hotels in the city. we knew this one was a bit old, but when we got there it WAS OLD!!! carpet torn in the lobby, the corridors were confusing and stank of sweat, puke and booze, the rooms small and cramped, old and stained furniture. when... more

Dear Guest I am sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your stay at Holiday Inn Darwin. In your case it seems we dropped the ball in several areas, and I am at pains to point out that this is not the usual standard we provide. Holiday Inn Darwin has long been an icon in the Darwin accommodation scene,...

The hotel was comfortable & the staff were very pleasant & helpful.

I called the hotel two weeks ago & they promised... more

The hotel was comfortable and the staff were very friendly and informative. The location is excellent, only a walk away from the main street and across the road from a large park and beach (you can't swim there but it's a nice view). Disappointed that the balcony is tiny and we had a view of the carpark, but we only... more

When looking for accomodation to stay in Darwin for a weekend in October last year we found the prices are quite expensive and after a lot of online searching found the holiday inn seemed to be the best value (yet still quite expensive considering). Darwin is still a developing place, and still quite small, so I assume when there are... more
