voco The Darwin - Atlanta Midtown by IHG

The voco had good breakfast, was clean. Had a great outdoor space. Gym facility was great with good quality equipment.

Really nicely appointed. Great design, recently updated rooms. Convenient location if you have a car. Not in the middle of the action. Nice bar and courtyard to hang out it. Windows are poor quality and you can really hear the big road behind property: ask for room on front of property. Shades let in too much light at the top. Walls are THIN, pray for quiet neighbors.

The Darwin Hotel is clean, has nice updated rooms and friendly staff. We had a leaking faucet in our room which was repaired within 2 hours though they left a dirty towel behind. Parking was limited and we had to park at the lot next to the hotel. There were multiple homelsss people around that lot and it did not feel safe. I would expect more for a $30 parking fee. The neighborhood is not really walkable and there are lots of homeless people around the hotel.

We love the hotel and the staff is wonderful. We are giving the hotel three stars because they charge $30 a night for parking which is absolutely ridiculous. They claim to have security in the lot at night but we have yet to see anyone there when we get back at night. It’s an open lot (not underground) and no one is checking to see if cars are being broken in to. The hotel is great and we love the location but won’t stay there on our monthly visits due to the crazy parking charge, IHG remove the charge!

I love this hotel. Very cozy. Gives a residential/community vibe. Events happen on different days of the week. Cute courtyard with a projector screen for movie nights. Football game was playing during my stay. Complimentary drink (champagne, mimosa, or coffee) for each guest. Hotel staff are friendly. I definitely recommend!

Love the lobby, love the "spin the wheel" check-in offer, and the staff were super friendly. Great property in a good location. Easy parking. Clean, quiet room. I wish there was free coffee (in room or lobby) or breakfast (thought the booking said this was the case, it was not) but other than that no complaints.

The only thing I did not like about the property -no coffee in room -a small fridge would be nice -gym area too small- if there were more than 2-3 people in the gym at the same time it was difficult to do a complete workout.

Check-in was not very smooth, but the facilities themselves were great. Unfortunately, the air conditioner stopped working during the night, which made the stay uncomfortable. The property looks amazing online, but the location is just average. On top of that, they charge for parking, and if you arrive late, you may have to wait for someone to leave before getting a spot.

The courtyard is a lovely place to sit and wind down from the day. Inside sitting room is very comfortable and beautifully decorated. Staff was great and the food was good…try the coffyn pies for breakfast delicious!

Great spot/location. Very nice hotel but ridiculous that they throw on a $25 parking fee. Not cool. They don't mention it when you check in - just give you a parking ticket to put in your car. I assumed it was so I wouldn't get towed. Had I known it was $25, I would've parked on the street out front.

Very welcoming. And clean

Cute establishment. Love the decor. Staff was courteous. Room accommodations were great. My only gripe, the hallway (4th floor) has bad odor.

Staff kind, clean overall with great air quality

The rooms were perfect, spacious, and clean. The front desk staff was top notch.

Really enjoyed my stay. Nice and welcoming place! Clean and nice looking room.

The room was very clean and staff were incredibly friendly. I had a flatbread at the bar which tasted like something from the frozen aisle that had been microwaved. The room was tiny and did not have a coffee pot (which I feel should be mandatory). I had to ask the cleaning staff to stop slamming the room doors while they were cleaning. Maybe someone can get them a door stop to prop the doors open?

Clean room , great staff!

Check in was great, property is very up to date and super clean! Bed was awesome! Will definitely stay again!

The staff was friendly and the hotel is very cute, however my room had an awful moldy smell

I had a wonderful stay here - the staff were so warm, friendly and helpful. Positives - the area was quiet, the bed was super comfy, room decor was very cute, the breakfast was delicious! I really enjoyed my daily breakfast sandwich and cold brew coffee with the breakfast coupon! There were a variety of options you could choose from (Chicken and waffles, Yogurt Parfait, Oatmeal, Breakfast sandwich, Breakfast burrito, Avocado toast) or several types of pastries, and a variety of coffee drinks too. The negatives - they seemingly only have feather pillows. I asked at the front and was told they had firmer pillows, but when I got back to my room the extra pillows I received were just more feather pillows. These tend to set off my allergies and provide no support so hope they will consider adding firmer pillow options in the future! I also chose the "cozy" room, which was small (I didn't mind) - what I did mind was that there is no mini fridge or closet space? I would have loved somewhere to keep my water cold, but can live without a fridge. Instead of a closet (like in the photos) they provide 8 knobs on the wall where you can hang your clothes. I found this absolutely astonishing and have never seen this before. This hotel should consider updating the room photos and room details to something more accurate so as to set appropriate expectations with guests. At the end of the day, I did enjoy my stay and would return, but wanted to leave a detailed review for others!

Cozy is an understatement. The room was super tiny. There were a few hairs in the shower and they wanted big bucks for parking. Street parting is easy to come by. The neighhood is ok.

No place to put luggage and clothes. No hair dryer. No refrigerator. Very nice staff though.

Really cool renovations Thin walls Door didn't shut all the way

The rooms were clean but the walls were extremely thin. I could here the vehicles outside and the guest in the room above me. The staff was extremely nice! We were actually closer to downtown then expected.

Nice place. Easy to get in and out of. Rooms are set up oddly. It’s like they just dropped a restroom, bed, tv and sink in a room and rearranged them randomly. The only bad part is the walls are paper thin. You can hear EVERYTHING in the room above, below and next to you. We heard a fight between a couple at 11:30 am and was unable to sleep. We also heard them make up after if you know what I mean. The person next door decided they needed to move heavy objects at 2.30 am. Like large loud abject slamming the floor for almost an hour straight. We won’t be back because it’s not a great place to sleep if there are a lot of noisy people staying.

I booked the Cozy Queen room on Expedia and did not realize how small it would be. It felt like I was in New York City. There really was not enough room for 2 people in the room to move around.

No hot water, they gave me a key to another room that had water for just a couple of minutes but had to finish shower in cold water.

I really like this place but wish they had refrigerator in room. Bed was very comfortable

We had a very bad experience with our booking. Reservations were booked via Expedia and when I called the front desk to ask for Credit Card Authorization form, I was told by the "Supervisor" that I would have to CANCEL my Expedia reservation and book directly with the hotel. This was highly unusual and left me feeling like I was SCAMMED by this front desk supervisor. I will never book my team at this property again. No mater how nice the hotel property may seam, this was unacceptable ... I have never been asked to cancel my Expedia reservation and rebook with the hotel directly. UNACCEPTABLE!

Check in was weird as the receptionist made me wait at the counter for a customer to return from the parking lot to check in ahead of me. Then after checking them in, she informed me that yet another customer was sitting outside and would also be checked in ahead of me.

Loved everything about our stay. Staff was super friendly and accommodations were top notch. Will be back!

Staff was welcoming and kind. Hotel had a nice vibe. Arrived after check-in but was told I needed to wait while room was prepared; once I got in I found that liquid soaps in bathroom had not been refilled. One of the alarms was flashing light every few seconds, making it difficult to sleep.

The staff were 5star Maisha and Efrain made a bad problem Good. My moving truck lock was tampered with prior to arriving to the hotel. Maisha went out of her way to get me a locksmith and wait with me . Chase Masri the general manager went home got a lock cutter and tried at first to help me open the truck. Great people . Great stay. Thank you .

We arrived late, but Efrain at the Front Desk was very helpful, welcoming and friendly! We scored parking because of a promotion they were running and even got an upgrade bc of my IHG card. It was a great ending to a very long day of driving!! The room was clean and the bed was super comfortable. The area was pretty central. We walked and grabbed food at the City Market, which has a wide assortment of food as well as shopping. I recommend staying here if you want to get out of downtown!

Great staff

The staff was super nice and accommodating. The room spacious and clean. And has great breakfasts options. Overall a very convenient hotel.

Management had poor customer service. I'm a travel nurse and need a quick hotel unfortunately due to an assignment change and check in time I wasn't able to utilize the hotel. This hotel refused to be accommodating and understanding and refused to refund my money or even change the original accommodations to fulfill me needs. Any travel nurse looking for a hotel I would not recommend this hotel brand. We as nurses take care of people in the worst and when need the same type of understanding or customer service. This hotel chain dropped the ball and fell short

The Darwin is a wonderful art filled space, it’s very unique and the staff was wonderful, they were very helpful and kind. the surrounding area seemed a little on the sketchy side, with what seemed to be some abandoned buildings, some run down fast food places, & some possible homelessness but really only on one side of the hotel, on the other it was very gentrified with a trader joe’s, nice breakfast restaurants, and other shops, i guess just be weary if you’re walking!

Very nice, small hotel for a quick stay. The neighborhood isn't safely walkable to many amenities, but it's a good place for short visit to ATL, especially for shows at Mercedes-Benz.

Hotel was great, area was limited with food choices and little rough around the edges

The hotel is original and modern. Beds were comfortable and the room reasonably large. The bathroom did not have a fan and fogged up. The service was ok but was shocked by $7 latte and a suggested tip of 21% 23% or 25%. Mind you this is a line up togo coffee not a sit down service. Location is close to the center but did not feel safe to walk.

Unique property. Close to a few really great neighborhoods.

The hotel was very nice and clean. I didn’t realize that it was in the middle of the hood, as we were walking to One Music Festival. Overall, great hotel for the value.

The hotel itself was very nice. But not all rooms come with mini fridge or microwave. A sharing microwave was available on the second floor along with an ice machine. The hotel says it offers breakfast food from 7-11:00 am and then tapas bar food after 5:00, but when I went down for tapas at 6:00 I was told there was no kitchen available. Staff were exceptionally helpful & friendly. Property not far from airport.

I didn’t eat breakfast on site but did have coffee and it was fantastic. One of the best cups of hotel coffee I’ve had in recent memory.

Delicious breakfast and dessert, very friendly, professional staff, we had a wonderful stay & would definitely book this hotel again.

It was a nice, unique place but the availability for the bar/food was too limited.

Excellent service, great breakfast and coffee bar. They do charge a $30 to park in their lot that I wasn’t aware of until checkout, but great place to stay.

Hotel was great, food in the bar was very lackluster

Love the lobby, love the "spin the wheel" check-in offer, and the staff were super friendly. Great property in a good location. Easy parking. Clean, quiet room. I wish there was free coffee (in room or lobby) or breakfast (thought the booking said this was the case, it was not) but other than that no complaints.

I have mixed feelings. The front desk staff, Chase and Justin were wonderful. Very helpful and pleasant. The next morning, the breakfast bar staff seemed annoyed that we were even there. It took 30 to 40 min to get our food. We had no utensils and when I asked for a to go box I never got one. It seemed like I was a nuisance to them.

Breakfast took forever on both days and it was unclear why.
