Location was perfect, cocktail specials were a winner, breakfast was generous and plenty of variety. Rooms clean and generous sized plus the bathrooms were modern and clean.
Pool a little cold, had to ask for things to be replenished in our room like refilling shower gel, shampoo and conditioner on separate occasions plus tea bags. Was followed up immediately but was a nuisance.

Friendly staff,especially at the reception desk. Very clean, great location and wonderful amenities.
A great breakfast selection and we loved the happy hour by the pool.
The hotel was full so it got a bit chaotic at breakfast. Staff were runoff their feet trying to keep up with all the guests.

Staff where not orientated to local shops /bottle shops. Supervisor had to step in

The room was beautiful and the pool is massive. The kids loved it. The service was exceptional as we had left my sons toy behind and the staff found it and posted it to us. We were very grateful.

Gute Lage, schöne Poollandschaft. Freundliches Personal - zur Begrüßung gab es leckere Kekse. Das Frühstück war gut.
Kein freies w-LAN - einfach nicht zeitgemäß!
Die Zimmer sind für Familie für wenige Nächte in Ordnung- aber eigentlich zu klein.

Have stayed here many times over the past 25 years. The standard of service is consistently excellent and the pool is the best in Darwin. Recent upgrades to the hotel room bathrooms and the swimming pool area have been thoughtfully and tastefully done.

The pool area and outdoor seating by the pool for drinks was good
Location good
Oh dear - it was certainly not what we expected from a Hilton! The room was tired. The kettle/jug for hot water was like a $5 KMart special! the lid did not open so water had to be put through the spout - reported to reception but no action or replacement. Asked for wine glasses they didn't come. Although we were two in the room supplies (milk and hot choc) just for one - minimal. The bathroom needed an upgrade - rust marks in the bath!
NO assistance offered with bags to and from the room.
Asked for wine variety Pinot Noir was listed but told not had it for a couple of months.
Food service at dinner was almost non existent so second night we went to Garden Hilton next door which was FABULOUS with better menu, food, wine and service.
6.0 / 10.0
Central position and clean.
Given a room right next to elevator, was advised it was an upgrade yo what we had asked for, what a joke.
Room service absolutely hopeless, it took over an hour and a half for a toastie.
Dining room delivered incorrect meals from what was ordered. Definitely slipped since we stayed there before. Will not be staying there again. Do not like that every night is a different price.

The facilities were excellent and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was very comfortable and clean. The pool was wonderful.
It was very good to have laundering facilities.
We were within walking distance of several attractions. We had a most enjoyable evening walk from the Wharf back to the hotel (approx 30 minutes).
The shaded area around the pool was limited.
Instructions for using the washing machines were not very clear and I had to explain to a few other people how to use the app and pay. It would also have been helpful to include washing powder - even a vending machine containing small sachets of powder.
