Stayed here over the Easter and Anzac long weekend. If you don’t want an expensive hotel but a reasonably priced one, this is it. The rooms are clean and a good size. The service is good. The rooms are cleaned on week days but not on weekends, that was fine with me as we requested an extra towel and it was provided. The hotel is close to the mall and walking distance to great cafes and restaurants. It’s about a 5-10 minute walk down to the wharf area from the hotel, where there is also some great restaurants. There is parking underneath the hotel. We really enjoyed our stay here and will stay here again if going to Darwin in the future.

At 8:25pm, I logged into the room dining system to order dinner. I noted that room service ended at 8:30 (whoever heard of such limited hours on a premium venue?). Once selecting my meal, I reached the payment page at 8:27pm to be told that room service has finished. NOT ACCEPTABLE. Please adhere to your own rules. You need to fix this URGENTLY.

You can tell Rydges is Australian because there is absolutely no brand standard or consistency. To say this is the same chain as Rydges Melbourne or Brisbane Fortitude Valley is laughable. Cheap and dated motel style furniture and mattress. Bed rolls away from the wall when you sit up. Basic tv that I couldn’t actually get to stream anything. Tiny window. Instead of stock in the mini bar there’s a vending machine. It was however faultlessly clean and the room was very quiet. Location was convenient.

A 5 star price for a 2 star hotel. Self check in. Old building and decor. Entrance and signage hard to find. Thin sheets. Wouldn't mind if I was paying a 3 star price. Overall shabby.
