"Excellent place for family and impeccable service from staff."

Hilton Darwin

10/10 Excellent

"excellent service all round. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean and shower good. Breakfast was also a nice touch to our stay but it's not included that's extra $. Great location as well for those travelling to Darwin for the first time."

"Good, reasonably priced hotel in a central location in Darwin. The continental breakfast included in the price did not offer a very good selection, just fruit, toast and cereals. A cooked break fast was offered for A$10 but again, quite a limited range. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Overall a good experience."
