Rydges Darwin Central
The room would have benefited from a chest of drawers and an additional chair. The bathroom needed shelves or drawers. There was just no where to put belongings generally. TV needs to be updated. All looked a bit tired making it overpriced for what was provided.

Oaks Darwin Elan Hotel
The view from our apartment was outstanding. Room layout good as well. The free breakfast was ok - very basic, but you could upgrade by paying extra. Great location - easy to walk to the Waterfront or to catch the Hop on Hop off bus.
