Top The Gardens Hotel Reviews

Rydges Darwin Central

8/10 Good

"The hotel was built in 1997 and the style and joinery has not changed. All is clean and tidy, very quiet, and staff friendly and helpful. Great central location. The superior room was large, but there are no extra fittings so it feels spartan, particularly with the small TV. The auto emails and sms reminders about check-out are tedious, and although we had a late 2pm check-out, the reminders kept saying 10:30am, and the room card disabled at 10:30am. A good stay though, and I would book again."

DoubleTree by Hilton Darwin Esplanade

8/10 Good

"Concierge was very helpful considerate and inviting from the moment we arrived, the hotel itself was very clean and the rooms delightful and would stay again the only downfall was they would not replenish the water bottles or the small milks every day (we were there for 5 days) for the kettle in our room so we could have coffee. but one word to the staff and they would rectify it straight away, ideal location close to the waterfront and main streets easy to get to places for dining"

Mindil Beach Casino Resort

8/10 Good

"Rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly. The location was great — just a 5 min drive to the city and close to Mindil Beach, the markets and camel rides. There is free public parking available, or secure parking for $20 per night, which I felt was a little steep. While we had no issues during our stay, I would like to see more secure access to the resort, as some areas can be accessed by the general public. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend it. If you can, I’d suggest booking a stay with breakfast included. We’ll definitely be back!"
