★★★ 7.4 (27 reviews)

"Terrible beds might as well have slept in a bean bag. Music playing loud as next to our room till 12am window wouldn’t close. Then had people making noise till 3am. Wouldn’t recommend unless you are planning to party every single night."

Mercure Darwin Airport Resort

Mercure Darwin Airport Resort

📍 2 Henry Wrigley Dr, Eaton
★★★★ 8.0 (119 reviews)

"Great location. Basic rooms with comfortable bed. Limited options for breakfast - we eventually found out about the “pool view” cafe in the Novotel (the pool is dry) which had better breakfast options for us as we had small children who only wanted toast and not the buffet breakfast at the Mercure. (We were told it would be $15 for children over 5 (our grandchild is 6) but then other people said they were told it was free.!? Had some trouble with parking - paying guests should be assigned at least 1 car park per room - however this wasn’t the case and we had to park in the “overflow” area across the road and carry our luggage over. Definitely need a car or vehicle to go anywhere. Great new pool but don’t stand on the fake turf on a hot day as it burns your feet! Don’t forget to ask for “Territorian rates” if you are a local - show your drivers licence and get a discount."

Club Tropical Resort Darwin

Club Tropical Resort Darwin

📍 622 Lee Point Rd, Lee Point
★★★★ 8.9 (126 reviews)

"Well, of course, this isn't a 4-star hotel. Don't expect a good resort hotel. It's more like a 3-star resort motel. The rooms are very basic, rather old and shabby. The shared corridor balconies lack privacy. It's better to stay in buildings with a pool view, like the Gardens. It's located far from the city. We were driving, and that wasn't a big deal for us. We were choosing between the Courtyard by Marriott Darwin in the city and the Club Tropical, since they were similarly priced. We ended up staying at both. Of course, the Courtyard is much better in every way. But the Club Tropical has one undeniable advantage: its gorgeous, huge pool. It's beautiful. We stayed on a weekday and were practically alone in it. The staff is friendly. They take a $100 deposit upon check-in. They charged us cash. It's a very strange system where they ask you to pick up your key card under the doormat in front of your room. When we arrived at our assigned room with our luggage, the card was missing from the mat. We had to return to reception. The restaurant offers reasonable dinner prices. Shrimp in a creamy garlic sauce with croutons cost only $19 and were fantastic. We weren't able to try the breakfast buffet, as they don't offer it when they're not busy. A very weak continental breakfast is available for $16, or you can choose from the menu. There are also plenty of barbecue spots on site. A kilometer from the hotel is Lee Point Beach, where you can enjoy a wonderful sunset stroll and watch the sun sink into the ocean."

Novotel Darwin Airport ★★★★
"We always spend a night here before we fly home. Beds are next level comfortable, shower was great too. We stayed at the end of the wing facing the pool, was nice and quiet. Amazing pool. Food and drinks are very expensive. Otherwise great spot for an overnighter."

Mom Darwin ★★★
"The goal of this hostel is to party hard: thumping music literally 7 days a week until 11pm at the earliest (seriously, i checked in on a Tuesday and the bass carried to every single room in the hostel). If you are 18 to 21 years old and that’s what you want, this hostel is great for it. For everything else, it is just NOT good. There is no common area other than the area right by the bar/music, so do not expect to be able to sit anywhere comfortable and read a book/watch a movie/calmly talk to anyone. Also, the place is filthy. Bathroom smelled like a barn, kitchen was pretty nasty by the evening each day, rooms were dirty and smelly. The shower doors had gaps so wide that I could make eye contact with people walking by hahahah. Also, NO RECYCLING BINS??? What the hell? Is this the 1970s? Unless I completely missed it somehow, I could not find a single recycling bin, so I had to throw away glass, tin cans, etc. The budget accommodation scene in Darwin is pretty grim, as I doubt the other hostels on Mitchell street are much quieter, and there really are no other options. The staff at MOM however were great, and did their best. Very helpful and accommodating."

"Mercue DRW Airport is a good choice of accommodation if you need close proximity to airport, pre/post flights. Clean, comfortable room with a good spread of breakfast, the pool is a welcome reprieve from the Darwin heat."

"Great location to chemist, post office, petrol, KOPI Station. Simple but great for a few nights. Carpark gets full but back entrance leads to public carpark. If arriving after hours, call ahead to get gate open as it needs access card."
