This was our fourth apartment hotel stay during our trip to Australia and the best by some distance. Friendly and helpful staff, very comfortable room and an excellent breakfast. Oh, and the location is pretty good as well.

I loved staying at Adina Darwin waterfront - it was very close to the convention centre where I attended a conference and there was a bridge to the city park area - very convenient. The room service via the restaurant was great. I would definitely stay again.

The location of the property is convenient for water activities and restaurants. The staff are pleasant and the pool was enjoyable. We requested a 1 bedroom and were allocated the equivalent of a bedsit - not what was advertised in the booking. The cleanliness of our room was very poor, with food debris on the cupboards and dishwasher door, sticky finger marks over the dining table, furniture and kitchen divider. The mattress on the sofa bed was stained extensively.

Disappointing
A disappointing stay. Our 'apartment' was ridiculously small as it is wrapped around a stairwell. Looking into one two doors down saw a fairly spacious real 'apartment' at the same price. There were plenty of room available - apartment 154 should only be used as a last resort.

Dear Fulton,Thanks for sharing your feedback with us. We too are disappointed to know of the lackluster stay with us. This is certainly not what we are about. Please accept my apology for this. I note we had you booked into a studio apartment and not the usual 1 bedroom, which of course are much larger. I have however taken note of the odd shape in room 154 and shared your feedback with our teams. Thanks again for sharing your comments with us Fulton. Your comments enable us to better serve our guests in future. I do hope to welcome you back in our larger 1 bedroom apartments in future. Sincerely,Sid BhatiaGeneral Manager

We stayed here first for 3 nights (personal) then H on Mitchell for next 3 nights (work). Definitely glad we had the opportunity to experience the waterfront at the Adina. Great vibe around the hotel, value for money, the best place to be in Darwin. Love the lagoon and wave pool. Hotel bed was comfortable. We did have a slight prob with the bedroom air-con but this was sorted pretty swiftly.

Take care when you book
Our favourite location in Darwin, overlooking the wharf, beach, park and wave pool, a quick ascent in the glass lift then short walk to town centre. Loved our waterview suite three years ago and decided to book the same again, even though the prices have ramped up hugely. As before, I booked through hotels.com, expecting to have the waterfront views pictured in my confirmation email. I was shocked to be directed to one of the few, perhaps the only, suite on the floor overlooking a busy street, shadowed by a sandstone cliff, and requested the one pictured on my confirmation. Having established that a waterview suite was available, I declined to pay for the upgrade to what I had booked. Management agreed but only because my confirmation stated that, as a hotels.com gold member, I was entitled to an upgrade if a room was free. The rest of our stay was uneventful, the suite was delightful, well equipped with everything we needed. Not sure if the problem was with Adina giving agency bookings a lower grade room, or with hotels.com not showing the range of rooms and their prices. If you can afford it, a waterview room at Adina Waterfront is a great place to stay in Darwin but take care with your booking.

We stayed 1 night in an apartment. the apartment was well stocked, very comfortable bed but unfortunately don’t think i would stay again. The apartments are in need of refurbishment- the hotel flooring is carpet, it’s old, lifting and had a strong smell of mould particularly in our room.
