Rydges has taken over this property and it seems like they have tried hard to revamp it, to mixed effect. Rooms are good sized, and although the air conditioning works well, there is no controller in the rooms! I tried asking reception to send someone (though it was at 1am) but was disappointed. Breakfast was decent, but staff input pretty... More

This hotel is very close to the airport. Note that I don't recall any aircraft noise though. Don't confuse it with another Rydges a little bit down the road. This is clearly the better of the two. There is nothing around the hotel so you are either in the hotel or you travel the 10 kilometres into the middle of... More

We stayed here on the 1st leg of our onward journey. The hotel is literally 3 minutes drive from the airport. You could walk it in 10minutes if you knew where it was. This hotel is opposite the Rydges Resort. The benefit of staying here is you can use Rydges resort facilities as well and its just across the road.... More

Early flight ? It is about 500 m or so back to the terminal on paved walkways, so walk or wait for the courtesy round the clock hotel shuttle bus. At 180 a « business suite » fully flexible and all tax included, room only, the room we have is more a business than suite room, but go to their... More

Book a room at the Darwin airport inn! After flying in from Europe via Singapore, it's the perfect choice as it us only a 5 minutes walk from the gate. But apart from the location advantage: we had a really nice spacious apartment with two bedrooms, a living room with kitchen and a balcony (with views of the airport and... More

Much better than most airport hotels I've come across. Pleasant, incredibly accessible and reasonable value. Love the free internet (rare in v. expensive Darwin) but the killer treat is its accessibility to the delightful Airport Resort, just across the road. Both hotels have swimming pools but the Resort one is gorgeous. More

Stayed here on our way back from Singapore. We arrived at 4.30 - out of the airport by 6.00 and were gladly informed by the hotel that we should be able to check in at 8.00am which we did. We booked online 3 weeks in advance as Rydges priority members and our online booking told me it included breakfast for... More

The hotel is convenient for those early morning flights. The rooms are clean with queen size beds. No 'cable' for net in room. Computers not working in Business Centre. No controller for air conditioner. Service - we were organized and booked ahead. Paid $30 over 'opening specials' which includes breakfast - no breakfast so sad too bad, you didn't book... More

This is probably the only place I've ever stayed in where the room I got was better than the one in the photo on the web site! The rooms are very good by any standard - for the price changed they are excellent. Looked like it had been refurbished very recently. The hotel is a 5 minute shuttle from the... More
