DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Esplanade Darwin

Rooms are a bit outdated and need refurbishment. Some rubbish was left in our room from previous occupants, missed by housekeeping. Otherwise the room was clean. Pillow smelt of sweet and I ended up buying a new one from Kmart. Staff were friendly. The pool is good but the bar options limited as we visited in the wet season. Gym and laundry were good. I would stay there again but prefer to try somewhere else first.

Loved every minute here. Comfortable room with great air con. Washing facilities a bit steep at $6.30 per load but very much appreciated. Amazing restaurants and delicious buffet breakfast A 15 min walk to the town center made the location super convenient My highlight was seeing kids play so happily in the pool. The pool is alt water and just lovely against the heat. Great gym too. Would definitely go back just to enjoy the resort stay

The location is great, the room was nice and the beds were very comfortable. The pool was also fantastic. Unfortunately, the service was poor overall. This included the bar closing by the pool at 7pm, reception telling us one night that the pool was closed at 8pm when it says its open until 10pm. The buffet breakfast was lacklustre, all the bainmarie food was cold (did they light the gas burners I wonder?). I just don't think the staff really cared to be there.

I have now had the experience of staying at the Double Tree Hilton for the third time and each time, my stay gets better. I travel for business and there is a reason I don’t look for another hotel…I have found the perfect place with the perfect staff (all-to include the cleaning personnel). This place is where you want to reside when traveling to Darwin. The staff is generous, helpful, inviting, happy, and most of all seem to be Great People. You will not be disappointed, WHATSOEVER! Unfortunately, 5 stars is the max…just know they rate more than 5!👍🏾

The Double Tree felt more like a pleasant bouquet hotel than a Hotel chain. Not to big, not to small. I found all staff to be very professional with easy going attitudes and a warm smile ready to assist. The room was a reasonable size for a family of four, very clean and comfortable. Dinner at the Indian Thai was great and the buffet breakfast offered a wide variety of tasty choices. The pool is a good size, I'd have liked the spa to be a bit hotter, still, enjoyable More than happy to recommend

Even though we'd had a booking since July we had not been informed that the hotel was closing down. This meant the pool closed at 7pm, there was no restaurant other than for breakfast, no bar. Photos are from the Hilton next door where we had to go to get food. Floors 4 and 5 were out of operation as they were already being renovated. To top it all, we saw a rat run through whilst sat having breakfast! Reception didn't appear to be bothered when we complained and told us to 'fill the form in after you check out'. Even Hilton support didn't seem bothered about it either. However, rooms were spacious enough, beds were comfy and other than poor at handling complaints the staff were all friendly. The pool was nice and no one in it so our family of 4 had it to ourselves most of the time. A few mins walk from the centre, download the Beam app and use a scooter if it's too hot.
