What guests think

Adina Apartment Hotel Darwin Waterfront earns consistent praise for its waterfront setting near restaurants, the lagoon, and the convention centre, while feedback on rooms, cleanliness, and service is mixed, with quality and upkeep varying between stays and room types.

Many appreciate spacious apartments with kitchens and pleasant outlooks; others report dated furnishings, musty odours, small or less private balconies, and occasional noise. Staff are often friendly and helpful, but guests cite strict or delayed check-in, housekeeping that is late or not daily, and membership benefits or promised extras not proactively provided. Facilities are generally adequate, with some guests praising amenities, though a few note the property feels tired and upkeep is needed. Expect a convenient waterfront base with variable room and service standards.

Excellent location on the waterfront and walking distance to the convention centre. The property has only one restaurant but there are many on the waterfront, nearby. Not all rooms are equipped with laundry so be careful when selecting a room. The daily housekeeping was near 4 pm every day, which was a bit too late for me. Overall, reasonable stay.

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.

Travelled from Europe. Requested a room with a view on high floor. Got a room on ground floor with view to a parking lot. Poor customer service… Room not clean. Not offered housekeeping during our stay. AC to loud. Not adjustable. Old and worn furnitures. Pool is cold old and small. Worst of all was the odour from weed around us. The only good thing about this hotel is the location,

The apartments are in a great location in the Darwin waterfront precinct, with water activities and restaurants right there, and a short walk or e-scooter ride to the main town centre. The apartment had good aircon and a nice outlook. The facilities are adequate without being fancy and there is a good kitchen and full-size fridge allowing for self-catering. Would stay here again.

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.

Restaurant was closed ( no explanation) Pool bar was closed ( no explanation) Apparently management has changed and rooms are no longer serviced daily ( was not informed on check in) If you are a gold member make sure to ask for your wine as it’s the only way you will get it.

We arrived at midnight and stayed until the following day. The front desk staff were excellent and very helpful. Unfortunately, our room was not good. The smell of stale cigarette smoke and mould permeated the whole suite. It was so late that we didn't bother asking for a room change.

I wouldn't stay here again. I expected a lot more for the cost of the room. The towels were clean BUT stained. I did not feel comfortable using them and it doesn't take make to make sure white towels are stain free. The bathroom shower screen leaked. It needed some silicon. It would be dangerous if someone fell against it. The towel rail was not level and it came apart if touched too hard. The good points. The room was large. The bed large and comfortable. Close to the waterfront. Good restaurants close by.

The place is really well located on the water front and the apartment room was spacious but the check in process was appalling. We were queued for almost an hour as there was a computer update issue and apparently this had been a problem on and off for a week. They needed to put on extra staff to help book people in. I felt for the staff as they were under pressure but a manager needed to step in and help out. Also there was no changing of towels or making of the bed for the first 2 days.

Great location. Lots of dining options nearby. Apartment was a good size, but a little rundown. Whole property smells musty, like wet carpet! Balcony was tiny and too small to sit on. Our apartment was directly above the pub. This was no issue. Could not hear any music or noise when trying to sleep

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.

Disappointed with the hotel Was not recognised as a Gold member so no benefits offered !! They tried to give us a twin room and then after refusing we got a “one bedroom” apartment but looking at the room configuration on line it was not the apartment we had booked or that was shown, we ended up having to stay in that room as hotel booked out! Overall the hotel in a great location, room was clean and comfortable

Strict adherence to a 3pm check in is both archaic and annoying. Our stay included a free bottle of wine which was not forthcoming requiring a trip to reception. The property is very well located but is getting a bit tired. The $32 breakfast was one of the poorest we have ever had, far below the previous days breakfast at the Airport Novotel
