“new modern hotel right at the airport, walkable with luggage”

person found this review helpful

Stayed here last night. AUD$155 for a queen room. Nice and modern. Free internet, though wired, not WiFi, Easy booking by phone, and check-in, both by Riannin (sp?). I've read the reviews bemoaning the fixed (by management) temperature setting in the rooms, and I must say I was concerned about that. 24C is way too warm for us, but in... More

“Great for an early flight”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 April 2012

We had an early flight out of Darwin and this suited the bill. A short 400 metre walk - even a slight drizzle didn't make it a problem. There was some confusion with the booking at check-in, we had one booking, my parents another - but it turned out they had inadvertantly booked at the Rydges resort next door. The... More

Thank you for your review on the Rydges Darwin Airport Hotel. I am pleased to hear that our close proximity to the airport served you well and that you made use of the walking path to and from the airport. After a few hours on a plane being able to stretch your legs can feel great. We have two hotels,... More

I stayed here for a shot business trip. You can walk to the hotel from the airport terminal in less than 5mins or they have a shuttle bus service 24hrs. Room was very clean and pleasant. Large shower and immacualte finished bathroom. Hotel overall is nicely finished, Has Chinese Restaurant in building and a small shop for buying a few... More

“Only if u must stay near the airport!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 March 2012

This should only be an option if u must stay close to the airport. Where possible, definitely preferable to travel 15 mins into the city, to get much nicer accommodation for a similar price. The air conditioning issue has been mentioned earlier and is definitely annoying. My room was reading 26 degrees which is not good enough for me, and... More

Thank you for your review of the Rydges Darwin Airport Hotel. It is lovely to read that you have stayed with us many times in the past. It is unfortunate though that there are a couple of reoccurring issues for you. Our location is certainly airport based however we do have two restaurants within our hotels (300m radius) and Northlake’s... More

“Don't expect to be able to adjust your air-conditioning yourself”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 February 2012

The rooms here have split system airconditioning, but as a matter of policy, the hotel doesn't provide guests with remote controls. All they will do is offer to send a workman up to your room to change the fixed temperature: presumably after that, if you find it is too hot or too cold, you either call him again in the... More

“Not much there but does the job (expensively) for a quick sleep”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

Been there twice for sleeping inbetween flights (the second time for just 4 hours due to delays). For this it's expensive (although no more than the "dayrooms" in some airports) but very convenient - 200m from the airport and they'll provide pickups and dropoffs at any time in just a few minutes. Staff are good too. The rooms are a... More

“Decent choice... Walking distance from airport”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 December 2011

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

“A modern, clean hotel with good facilities and good service.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 November 2011

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
