Top The Esplanade Hotel Reviews

Nightcap at the Cavenagh

8/10 Good

"Great having a full sized fridge in the room"

Darwin City Hotel

8/10 Good

"Central to most attractions in Darwin City. Rooms are clean and functional. Only let down is the front entrance with rubbish lying around that you walk through to get inside hotel. It was there when we arrived and still there when we left the next morning. A quick sweep morning and evening would do wonders to improving first impressions."

Mindil Beach Casino Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the Mindil Resort while in Darwin after flying from the US. We were looking for a nice place to recoup after 24 hrs. Resort is excellent and convenient to the airport, Darwin Waterfront, beaches and botanical garden. Our room had a beach view and was very nice, including a small patio. I would use again."
