Hilton Garden Inn Darwin

Breakfast

Honestly we couldnt fault it, We have been to Darwin many times and have now found the best hotel to suit all our needs. Location, cleanliness, 24/7 concierge if needed, laundry and gym facilities, Pool is at a perfect temperature to swim at any time of the day.

The staff are gorgeous, so friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and clean, and I asked for lots of pillows which were on the bed when I arrived. There is a snack bar in the lobby which is handy as most flights come in late so you can grab a bite with ease before going to bed. The pool was perfect, plenty of space and shade which you need in the NT heat. The refurbishment of the hotel has been done well - and the bed was comfortable.

This is an older hotel that has been refurbished. The room was very nice and modern inside and the beds very comfortable. The balcony is very small and had a view of the back of the hotel where the loading docks were, however we could see the ocean at a stretch. The balcony was not really big enough for any furniture other than a single chair. The breakfast was excellent, except the main cook on the days we stayed seemed very unfriendly towards many of the guests and seemed to just grunt at people who were asking for foods to be topped up. All other staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. It was lovely to have breakfast by the pool. The location was excellent being just around the corner from the main street where there were lots of restaurants and bars with happy hours and meal deals each night. The hotel was also central to everything and we were able to walk to most places.

The staff were absolutely lovely and went above and beyond. One of them fixed up my conference name tag which ripped almost immediately, and it then held up perfectly. It was a random request that i was so happy they could help with. If I was ever unsure of anything I felt comfortable asking the staff and they were always happy to help. The room was extremely spacious, clean and got lots of beautiful light in the morning. The air conditioning worked perfectly. The pool was incredible, such a reprieve from the heat. It doesn't get as much sun as the pool at DoubleTree Hilton next door. Best time for a swim is morning-midday, as there's no afternoon sun. The buffet breakfast was also consistently good and delicious. I'm gluten-free and I still had heaps of options.
