Guest Reviews

• John (9/5): -
• Jill (8/5): Clean and comfortable - Spacious room with comfortable beds. The lifts were quick. The breakfast was very basic. It would have been nice to have more fresh fruit on offer.
• Christina (10/5): -
• Winter (10/5): -
• Pamela (7/5): - Good location. Room was spacious. Noise travels through the corridors into the rooms which was a bit disruptive to sleep, but not major concern
• Megan (7/5): -
• Alan (9/5): We'll be back - Selection of food great, staff prompt at replenishing & very pleasant.
• Katherine (7/5): - Check in and out Cleanliness of room and service each day Bench area in the room A common lounge area would be nice
• Esmé (9/5): -
• Lynne (7/5): Good value if you want to stay near the CBD - Large room Friendly staff Need ti like walking to access cafes, waterfront
• Julene (9/5): Good staff and helpful.Reasonable cost - Room size and breakfast The pool was very disappointing and difficult to get into! Didn’t like that it was so dark and not blue. Not very attractive
• Maree (10/5): Fantastic stay - All great and convenient. Nothing
• Ian Craig (7/5): - Upper room with a view and quiet location. Breakfast plates isolated from main buffet area.
• kim (10/5): - Everything Parking unfortunately got a parking ticket ,There were no clear signs 😕
• Tommy (10/5): Great stay for value, very comfortable and awesome location!! - Everything Nothing
• KIM (7/5): - Generally good facilities My room was really loud. There was a constant dripping and then lots of chairs scraping early in the morning.
• Puay Joo (7/5): -
• Mark (9/5): -
• Green (10/5): -
• Lorelea (8/5): - Very nice hotel, super comfy bed, staff very helpful and friendly, continental breakfast was great! Perhaps fresh milk at breakfast.
• Joachim (9/5): Ein gutes Quartier in Darwin - Wir waren nun zum zweiten Mal dort und wieder sehr zufrieden. Die sehr sauberen Zimmer sind modern und geräumig, die Ausstattung ist gut. Das inkludierte Frühstücksbuffet war für uns völlig ausreichend, Extras wie Wurst und Käse muss man sich ggf. halt selbst im Supermarkt zukaufen und mitbringen. Die Lage ist angenehm ruhig, trotzdem erreicht man zu Fuß binnen weniger Minuten die Geschäfte, Bars und Restaurants in der City. Wir hatten nichts zu beanstanden.
• Jaimie (10/5): -
• Carol (9/5): Excellent stay, highly recommend - The hotel is centrally located within easy walk of CBD and public transport along with a number of cafes supermarkets etc. The hotel was extremely clean, friendly and professionally operated. The rooms were large with microwave fridge, jug etc.etc plenty of fresh Towels etc as there was daily housekeeping. The Continental Breakfast excellent. Small balcony but all you need. Very comfortable beds.Could not fault the property in any way. Reception staff could not be more helpful. The location although good you would not walk around the area after dark if on your own but this applies to so many cities etc these days. Highly recommend if visiting Darwin as it is value for money and would I definitely stay there again. Everything good no dislikes
• Therese (9/5): Good spot super accessible - Accessible to CBD and general attractions of the CBD by foot. Pool is nice. Breakfast menu is decent, slightly better than expected. Large room. Didn't need for anything. Room was clean. House keeping stopped through every day. More just needed somewhere reasonably priced to sleep in between activities. Stayed 3 nights. Currently they seem to mostly be attracting grey nomads as their main customer demographic Can be a little noisy in the late evening about 7pm-10pm with people coming/going/doors slamming/talking as the building doesn't seem to be sound proofed all too well but no issues as I think quiet hours were from 10pm which everyone seemed to respect.
• Gayle (7/5): -
• Ivy Hunt (8/5): Agréable séjour ! - Très joli hôtel, bien situé dans une rue calme, à deux pas du CBD. Personnel très agréable. Très belle chambre, très spacieuse & confortable au 8éme étage avec une vue sublime sur la ville. J’ai adoré avoir une fenêtre dans la douche avec vue sur la ville. Le petit-déjeuner inclus était sympa mais un peu léger. Dommage que je ne pouvais pas ouvrir au moins une fenêtre (il y a en avait 5 en tout) pour aérer, il y avait une odeur dans la chambre. Petit-déjeuner inclus agréable mais un peu léger, présence de fruits frais aurait été appréciable (pommes, bananes...). Piscine agréable mais un peu petite, de plus l’eau n’était pas très propre.
• Alan (8/5): -
• Paul (9/5): -
• Ghostwhowalksperth (4/5): Budget at best - The Argus hotel in Darwin is essentially a budget motel with a much higher price. The furniture in the room is basic, the bed isn't that comfortable and the breakfast basic. The hotel isn't really close to anything in particular and the checkout time of 10 when any decent hotel is 12 isn't very good. Shop around and get a better deal.
• Mike (8/5): -
• Tony (8/5): -
• Michael (9/5): - I liked the location and staff also the car parking this is the 3rd time I've stayed there One of the elevators air flow wasn't working properly which made it hot and that's if im being picky
• Robert (8/5): We had a very relaxing stay. - Provided us with a very good disabled room.
• Benette (10/5): -
• Tamie (8/5): - The staff were amazing helpful For non gluten free a great breakfast just a bit more fruit A great size fridge a clean Amazing clean rooms Not much gluten free options at breakfast Seem very noisy in rooms above us during the night The gym needed a good update a clean
• Chantelle (8/5): - Location, house keeping lovely, nice beds. Reception staff was good, on most occasions. Balcony, was not really a Balcony. More a Juliet balcony. Also, very bright 🌞, light from gaps in the door, and blinds, could do with curtains as well. Very noisy in morning, lift etc. Not alot of choice for breakfast, very basic and had to purchase decent coffee.
• Maca (10/5): -
• DAKOTA (10/5): -
• Albert (8/5): -
• Faasili (9/5): -
• Maureen (7/5): Darwin stay - Basic good options and comfortable room. Breakfast was very basic.
• Michelle (10/5): Would definitely stay again very nice - Close to the city, comfortable Only one sink
• Arthur (6/5): Good location and price in central Darwin. - Good location and price. Wet room bathroom.
• Jaison (6/5): - Break fast bread and jam No tool to wipe off the wet bathroom. Square and sharp edged wash basin taps caused my head to get minor injury.
• Tommy (8/5): Absolutely comfortable and a big bang for your buck!! I would stay again for sure!! - Location and all the facilities that were available to us for our stay. There was not really anything not to like about this property!!
• Annette Karoline (6/5): - Sauberes Hotei, gute Lage, Tiefgarage (gegen Aufpreis). Gute Betten. Freundliches Personal, vor allem Agung war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und hat uns mit Sachverstand und für uns sehr gut verständlichem Englisch in vielen Situationen weitergeholfen. Er hat sogar eine weitere Unterkunft für uns gebucht. Wozu die Küchenzeile im Zimmer? Sie nimmt nur Platz weg und ist nicht nutzbar. Der Wasserkocher mit Zubehör findet auch auf einem kleinen Tisch platz, wie in anderen Hotels auch. Besser wäre eine Ablage für zumindest einen Koffer und Schränke für Kleidung etc. Der Pool war nicht einladend.

• Nicholas (8/5): - Reasonably well located, modern, clean, comfortable, good breakfast, good facilities, and good value. Swimming pool was tiny and images of it were somewhat misleading.
• Abdul Rahmna (7/5): - Staff, well-organised, location. NIL
• gagandeep (9/5): Fantastic - Nice and Tidy Everything was so good.
• Blair (8/5): - Upgraded which was great!

Shower is very small. Request for a quiet room, unfortunately one of the room (upstairs or next door?) video chat, moving furniture around and play music loud at 2~4 am
• Hans 955 (7/5): Ein bequemer Aufenthalt mit schönem Ausblick. - Es gab eine Tiefgarage. Das Zimmer war bequem und hatte eine schönen Blick zum Haven. Das spartanische kontinentale Frühstück.
• Ngaire (9/5): Great location, friendly staff and ammeniyies - Nice and close to the CBD Humidifier in the room making loud noises at 1am and blue light too bright. Bit complained to staff and it was rectified.
• Katrina Greenwood (8/5): Good Value - Good views of the city and harbour, comfortable bed. Staff were very obliging with a later checkout, luggage storage and extra towels Breakfast could have included more healthy options. The pool wasn't very appealing.
• Kelvin Putra (7/5): -
• Bayley (8/5): -

• Giada (9/5): Recommended - . Cleanliness . 24h reception . Kindness and availability of the reception's staff . Position . Amazing view from my room . Poor breakfast . No filtered tap water available . The bathtub faucet is too long compare to the shower head, so I hurt myself during my first shower

• Andrew (9/5): Pretty good - Close to city Clean Lounge seats not very comfortable
• Michael (8/5): More Aparthotel than Hotel - The was air conditioned through out and with de-humidifiers. Made it comfortable to sleep. There were virtually no amenities. Only a breakfast room. No bar or restaurant That meant you have to walk 10 to 12 minutes into town to find a restaurant.

• Punjab (10/5): -
• Lindsay (6/5): -
• Heather (9/5): -
• Jiří (8/5): - Ubytování splnilo očekávání. Je třeba konstatovat, že snídaně je jakási svačina, toust, džem, káva, čaj, musli, džusy. Ale vše OK. Personál milý a ochotný
• Kevin (8/5): -
