    Location really close to the waterfront and pier, and the main shopping. A great selection of food options approx 10-15 minutes' walk from the venue.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the stay here and would stay here again. The accommodation was exceptional, pool was very clean, beds were nice. The restaurant was magnificent for a basic dinner at night, I tried basic dishes. My bathroom was fairly clean. Its location was central, close to Frog Hollow Park. The hotel was set in a nice quiet area.

    Well sized rooms, savoury breakfast. Very comfy bed and great service. Particularly good and reasonable location in a nice quiet area, short walk to the main shopping, food and tourist street and the restaurants, pubs and shops are all close. The pool area is very clean too. Pretty friendly and outstandingly accommodating staff; simple check in...

    comfortable room
    refreshing pool
    light continental breakfast

    Would definitely recommend for an overnight stopping

    Comfortable room, refreshing pool, with amazing air conditioning, made returning from the heat of the day so much more enjoyable after harvesting the rich offerings of a light continental breakfast with fresh fruit and various breads.

    Cannot find any fault.

    friendly service
    excellent breakfast

    This hotel was an excellent fit for a fleeting moment in Darwin with the best value. They let me have breakfast 15 minutes before it officially started, really nice. Make sure to take advantage of the free breakfast spread.

    spacious rooms
    friendly staff
    lack of kids' area

    The hotel had a very cute atmosphere for our family, with spacious rooms that comfortably accommodated us. The breakfast starting at 5:30 am was a lifesaver for our early plans, and the staff were great throughout our stay.

    My kids wished there was a playground or kids' area to play safely outside.

    I appreciated the warm and cute atmosphere at Argus Hotel Darwin. The interiors were clean and modern. The staff were attentive and helpful throughout my stay.

    awkward layout
    uninviting pool

    The pool setting needs a facelift!!! The bathroom design is awkward with an open layout. Room cards reset too often, causing unnecessary frustration!!!

    comfortable bed
    small pool

    The king-size bed was comfortable and offered a great night's sleep.

    The small pool was disappointing as it was more like a kiddie pool than a relaxing spot.

    comfy bed
    great location
    attentive staff
    poor breakfast
    noise disturbance
    small gym

    I enjoyed the spacious room with a nice view and comfortable bed. The staff were friendly. The cleanliness was great. I appreciated the location being close to various attractions. Breakfast felt lacking. It consisted mainly of toast and a few cereals, which didn't meet my expectations for a hotel. The gym had limited equipment. A larger pool would really enhance the overall experience. The noise from other rooms was noticeable at times, which affected my comfort.

    cute staff
    diligent housekeeping
    street noise

    great staff but a few areas for improvement

    The staff at the hotel were cute, always taking the time to greet us with a smile. Housekeeping was diligent.

    The city view from our room was nice, but the noise from the street was a bit distracting at times.

    safety issue

    Safety concerns overshadowed stay

    Luckily my friend caught it in time. It's unnerving to think what could've happened. On the plus side, the place had solid amenities, like special diet menus, but that incident really put a damper on things.
