Courtyard by Marriott Darwin

What guests think

Across recent reviews, Courtyard by Marriott Darwin is praised for its central location, friendly staff, spacious clean rooms, and a well-liked pool, offering solid value for travellers seeking convenient access to the waterfront, restaurants, and the CBD.

Common downsides include noisy or faulty air-conditioning and occasional maintenance or housekeeping lapses. Dining and bar service are inconsistent, with limited menus, closures or no breakfast at times, though some guests enjoyed the meals. Several guests mentioned paid parking and noted the surrounding area can feel unsafe late at night. Expect a comfortable, centrally located base with variable on-site food and some equipment quirks.

Very friendly staff and very comfortable hotel. Only problem was it changed its name recently and our taxi had no idea where the courtyard by Marriott was. Also currently no bar or restaurant despite still advertising it does. No breakfast on weekends either. Need to communicate this to customers with bookings as this is not a good look.

Had a good stay, accommodation was great. Only issue was that it was Easter and there was no Room Service and limited opportunities to eat at the venue. This was offset by excellent front counter staff that meet all our needs for fresh towels, etc

Staff were helpful however hardware upgrades are needed: 1) only one chair in our room for two guest. 2) kettle is too big for the sink 3) drain at shower not working well, causing flooding at shower 4) remote controller for aircon was missing so we had to contact reception. In addition, no hand towels, bath towels had stains. No recycling bin in room. Card charge is 1.5%. We paid for 3 people for full breakfast and ordered one coffee by barista, still got charged. We were given rooms at level 1. By my wife’s request we had rooms at level 6, windows facing a building only few metres away. My general feeling is that if you are not a Marriott Bonvoy, you are not very welcomed. Above all, staff at reception were helpful.

The rooms may be refurbished but the original aircon remains and is too loud to sleep (changed rooms twice - same issue). Rooms are not cleaned till late afternoon providing massive inconvenience when working. Room service menu extremely limited. Pool was closed for the week which was not advertised in advance. Terrible service in trying to get issues rectified.

The cleaning staff here were particularly good. Wi-fi was good, too. The room was spacious and comfortable, except for lack of a desk and microwave. That's on us, though, for not looking for those things specifically. I just haven't been in a hotel room without a desk since I can remember, so I didn't think to check on this. Otherwise, everything was great.

There was an issue with the booking through the hotels.com app after a change in dates of the booking whereby H hotel were not advised. There was no booking on my arrival. Fortunately they had a vacant room they were able to prepare to fill this request. The manager was extremely professional in dealing with the matter. The hotel is centrally located in Darwin city close to main strip and bars and restaurants. The hotel itself has a restaurant and the food there was well above par. Rooms are comfortable and perfect for a business trip. I have stayed here previously and would stay again.
