As a Platinum Priorityclub member I had reviewed the possible hotels in Darwin prior to booking this stay, and the reviews led me to not have high expectations of this hotel. Luckily, they were wrong! Sure, I was upgraded to a suite, and they gave me a bottle of wine and fruit on arrival - which was way more than... more

I stay in a lot of hotels around the world for business and pleasure and this was my reason for staying at the Holiday Inn Esplanade. I was there for 5 nights. I stayed for a conference and stayed on for the weekend with my Partner flew up. This would be one of my worst experiences at a hotel. My... more

This is the only place I've every stayed in Darwin so it may be the best offering in Darwin going by what other experiences people have told me when it comes to staying in Darwin - But that doesn't make it a great hotel (no way a 5 star).

Check in was quick and the room on the 5th floor was clean and spacious with a queen bed which overlooked the harbour. The friendly and helpful front desk staff helped organise and book my sightseeing tours. At the rear of the hotel is Mitchell Street which offers a wide variety of restaurants, cafes and pubs where Shenannigans Irish Pub... more

The room was a decent size but the overpowering musty smell upon entering was a turn off. The walls in the room were dirty as were the walls in the hallway. In the hallway just opposite our room were two drips of a yellow substance, like honey, on the wall. We had to notify the front desk to have the... more
