The room (king deluxe) was clean but lacked cutlery & eating materials & no microwave. The food (ordered by room service) cost at additional charge & the portions of some food ordered was ridiculous in regard to the cost. But it was tasty. Price of cocktails were reasonable. Price during the wet season is reasonable but very expensive during dry season. It was great the gym was open 24hrs but you could only wash/dry your clothes (in the laundry) from 8am - 8pm & there was an additional charge. If you wanted to have a cigarette after 10pm you had to go out the front as any door to outside was locked & connecting door from underground hotel car park (additional charge - again) to the hotel was locked by 9pm.

The swimming pool at this hotel was closed for renovation. I believe that we should have been made aware of this when booking

The hotel is very dated and not really in the best position if you'd like to go to the nicer restaurants around Darwin. Mitchell St behind the hotel is pretty dodgy. Personally I feel the Vibe is a better location and the rooms are a lot more modern. Staff at Double Tree are very helpful and did assist me in changing rooms at a very early hour.

Lovely restaurant and buffet breakfast. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Would be nice to have a balcony, with such a nice view it was a shame to look into sun protection mesh. Bathroom was very old, outdated and tied, but great water pressure in the shower. Needed wine glasses provided in rooms.
