This hotel is in a great spot, over looking the water and a well maintained parklands area. It is in easy walking distance to Mitchell St which has a large range of restaurants and bars to pass an afternoon in Darwin. The hotel is showing it age. It seems to have had some updates but I think there is still... More

Having booked and paid for this hotel some months ago, there was confusion when we arrived in on Sunday night for a 5 night stay. Apparently the hotel had recently changed names and put in new management (of which we were unaware) and our booking had not been transferred from the old computer system to the new one. No problem... More

On arrival there was some confusion as two hotels with the same name next door to each other, natrually one cheaper than the other. Anyway, checked in with ease, room on 10th floor with side view of harbour on a balcony that couldn't pass any health and safety law if it tried. Bathroom basic and so dark, air con noisy,... More

Thank you for the most enjoyable experience. Service was outstanding in all areas for the full 8 nights that we stayed. Breakfast delicious with a great selection and the staff made our visit even more enjoyable by taking the time to ask about our plans for the day and making suggestions. This was most helpful and even more special when... More

Situated in a fantastic location with beautiful views from the King Harbour View rooms. Nightlife, restaurants, pubs and shopping centre are all walking distance. Very relaxing and lucky to have access to the facilities of both Holiday Inns. Rooms are very clean and good selection of in-house new release movies for those quiet moments in.

I stayed here for 4 nights whilst attending a conference at the Darwin Convention Centre. Check in was smooth and staff were friendly. Room was a good size but the TV is a small box with bad reception. Service was generally good and staff were friendly but I did have to ask three times for new batteries for the TV... More

Holiday Inn, The Esplanade, Darwin is now a DoubleTree by Hilton which caused me all sorts of problems. First, after booking with Holiday Inn several months ago for 122 The Espanade, I had great trouble trying to find the hotel even with my sat/nav. I was directed to what appeared to be the address OK, but it had the DoubleTree... More

We have been staying there for 20 odd years and we had our wedding reception there in the Tracy lounge which over looks the pool. But we keep going back. I could recommend that they should know regular visitors as VIP guests like I said been going there for a long time. Staff are always nice and friendly and the... More

We were informed that this Holiday Inn was not as comfortable as the newer one next door. Where they wrong? Yes indeed this is an older model but the facilities and staff are great and helpful. I...
