“Nice view of the Darwin harbour”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

At first I thought Holiday Inn Darwin would be outdated but because of their recent refresh, I was pleased with my stay here. Booked a deluxe room facing the harbour and the views were magnificent. The room was clean, and the carpets didn't smell old and moldy. We were pleased with or stay for the price we paid. Buffet breakfast was good too. They served freshly squeezed fruit juices. They also have a toddler pool which my five month old bub enjoyed.

I always stay here, the hotel is very central, the rooms and food are great and the staff know me now so they are always extremely nice. The view is terrific and there is plenty of car parking.

It was with no problems that a wonderful girl named Danielle booked us a room as we are members of there prioriy club we got an amazing offer and we made our way up to a lovely room with an incredible view. i highly recomend this hotel.

Room Tip: ask for a sea view it is breathtaking

What a lovely hotel.
The rooms are nice, the view is fantastic and the service outstanding.
I asked if they could arrange for some flowers for my wife's birthday and the Hotel Manager Kate Gerits arranged for it and they were beautiful!
We already arranged for our next stay and we look forward to it!

Room Tip: Choose the harbor view, so beautiful!
