we stayed in the loft suite expecting it to be better than the usual room, but it was a disappointment. The corners are dirty and the room smelled musty. The lounge was very rundown, you'll sink in the middle. As priority club members, we expected a late (2pm)checkout but was told we'll be charged extra. Breakfast food was ok, but... more

We only stayed one night but the front desk staff were very helpful allowing us to check in at 10.30am rather than having to wait around until 2pm. The room was very nice with a view over the city. more

Service was not soo good, staff had no idea about shuttle bus times and where the bus picked you up from and went... Very rude at reception and made us feel like we were bothering them. Location was great, located behind the main strip of night life and restaurants. Main shopping strip was a block away. Food was ok, but... more

Lets starts with the pluses. Delightful staff at reception and at breakfast and great location. Like much of Darwin the hotel is overpriced for what you get. It would be an excellent three star hotel but claims to be much more. It is really starting to look its age and the corridor when you turn right from the lift on... more

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Esplanade recently with 6 adults and one teen and one child. We loved the rooms as they were large and clean. The counter, housekeeping and the breakfast staff service were just impeccable. Breakfast was good value for money. Will stay there again on our next visit! more

We booked a 2 level room, which had 1 half bath, fridge, desk, and couch on the main level, and bed, bath, closet, and safe upstairs. No door between up and downstairs. They have a pillow "menu", but my selection was all taken. Sheets were crisp and clean. Secure parking underground, you need to get a few tokens when you... more

Having stayed at this chain in other countries, I was curious to see how this hotel would rate. A friend recommended it. Check in was good - I was given a room on the top floor overlooking the water. Sadly, the windows are so dirty, it was tough to enjoy it. The rooms have been remodelled in the past decade... more

Hotel and room was nice. The window wouldn't open though and our view was obstructed by a strip of concrete which made it a little bit dark. It was nice and modern though and we didn't spend a lot of daylight hours in the room The pool area was superb; very large and quiet. Breakfasts were good. Nice hotel -... more
