Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Brunswick Travellers wrote a review 11 Mar
Melbourne, Australia7 contributions3 helpful votes
Pleasantly surprised - the staff were great, including assisting in rectifying a rather dumb mistake we made while booking! On arrival quite late at night the staff were professional but really friendly. The room itself is fine, nothing terribly special but the view out over the harbour was worth paying the difference for and it was clean and the bathroom was nice. We also had to unexpectedly come back another night after a road to other accommodation flooded and they were equally good with entirely different staff, so it's not just one nice person but a great standard of staff. The restaurant I have to say was an even more positive surprise. Once you get over the feeling of eating in a hotel restaurant, the service was delightful and the snapper special was seriously good, as was the dessert, and we're probably Melbourne food snobs... and still really thought it stacked up! So push past the ambience and pop into Pepperberry for dinner.

Hotel's Favourite
We stayed five nights at the Hilton Darwin, and were very pleased with the whole experience. We stayed in a suite on the Club Lounge floor. The decor was a little dated , and the room a little musty for the first day, but the air conditioning kicked in nicely to disperse any mustiness. The Club Lounge was excellent- plenty of space , beverages available , and substantial canapés from 5pm to 7pm. The hotel restaurant- Pepperberry - provided an adequate breakfast and an excellent dinner: a wide menu , with every dish beautifully cooked. On the 2 days where we had early tours and so left before breakfast was open, the hotel made up breakfast boxes for us, which were appreciated. The hotel was a little short-staffed, which is par for the course for so many businesses these days. However EVERY staff member was extremely pleasant and went out of their way to assist . The hotel is well- located . We thoroughly recommend it.

We arrived very late at the hotel (circa 10.30 pm) as our flight was delayed. The on-site restaurant was closed, and so were any surrounding eateries. Hence the only option was to order room service that had a very limited menu of 3 options only (see photo). After placing order through the QRcode, I called reception to ask wait time, that they replied should be 15 mins. That 15 mins extended to 45 mins, after which where I called again, that they mentioned it would take another 5 mins. Sadly and angrily, that 5 mins extended to another 20 mins, and after 1 hour I gave up waiting. Called reception and cancelled my order. Then just before 12 midnight, someone kept knocking on my door saying room service - for which I totally ignored since I already cancelled my order. I found out the next morning upon checking out, that there were some problems (not fire emergency related) in the kitchen. To which I calmly asked if the hotel staff ever thought about the welfare of guests (hungry and tired) that ordered room service, if guest services were at the fore front of their minds. And that if there were problems in the kitchen, hotel staff should have called their guests to inform so guests could have made alternative options (e.g. ubereats or similar). The front desk manager apologised and explained that staff were new - that is a usual excuse for poor guest services. Brekky in the restaurant was lack-lustre with no pastries - that is usual fare for a Hilton or DBT branded properties. Mediocre at best, with the usual eggs, beans sausages. Auto coffee machine was self-served. Barista coffee was extra. Save your money if breakfast is not included in your room rate. At time of stay, all exec rooms were under renovation. The room I stayed was habitable, with a good proper bed, desk, TV and carpet. The bathroom however was in urgent need of an upgrade, with mouldy ceilings, peeled grout and silicon throughout. The bathroom condition was ok for a short overnight stay, but I wouldn't want to be in the room any longer due to the risk of mould / spores inhalation. Oh yes, and I appreciate the little gestures that the Hilton group provide to HH members. However on this occasion, it would have been better if they totally forgot to provide because what was provided was an apple with a rotten hole (see photo) and tim tam, when opened was melted. All signs point to poor management, lack of staff training, disregard for guest welfare (i.e. room service that took too long, mouldy bathroom, rotten apple provided as an amenity). Overall this is the worse Hilton property in the whole of Australia, having stayed at many properties in AU as a HH Diamond. I have never gone down to a 1-star rating for a Hilton. This is my first and hope it is my last. WIR to this property - no.

Best hotel in Darwin and rates are very reasonable at the moment. Centrally located close to courts, parliament building and offices. The staff are always helpful and lovely to deal with. The higher rooms have great views over Darwin Harbour which is always fascinating to look at but especially now in the Wet!

What a nice hotel in the centre of Darwin so close to the shops and restaurants as well as the night life. The hotel was spacious and clean and the staff really friendly and kind especially the lovely ladies who cleaned the rooms every day , so smiley and chatty .. really nice. The restaurant had delicious food and the bar had a little nice atmosphere . One negative was the building work on the executive floor but that was just a small thing and did not bother to much . Really a great hotel

An old favourite of ours that has improved massively with a recent renovation. The entrance is really contemporary and beautiful and rooms are being progressively updated. Standards are high, staff are wonderful and we had one glitch that was professionally managed to perfection. We had a fantastic Executive room on an upper floor with harbour views. The gum is well equipped and the pool clean and well kept. Thank you Hilton.

A surprising and elegant hotel in Darwin CBD. Staff did try, but certainly fell short of a five star expectation. The hotel is classic 80’s, refreshed as necessary to appear contemporary. The executive lounge was a complete embarrassment with inedible food and locked fridges offering no respite to a weary traveler. Service in a five star hotel must appear seamless and effortless. Staff here may be excused because it’s so dammed hot in Darwin, but there’s room for improvement. Breakfast was rushed, lights off promptly at 10am, leaving us to finish our delightful poached eggs in semi darkness 🫢. Room was spacious and clean. A little dated and shabby in places, in need of a refresh. On the whole, the management and staff are trying and well meaning. Points for offering a good service under testing conditions.

Nice hotel in downtown Darwin near a lot of places to eat and things to do. Room had a mild humidity problem but is likely due to the extreme heat and humidity there. Water pressure and temperature in the shower was good and bed comfortable. Gym was adequate.
