Darwin Laksa Mindil Beach

The hotel is fine--nothing special but not bad, either. The restaurant was good, as was the coffee stand and the bar. The staff was rather incompetent--incorrectly billing me (and not knowing how to charge my card), not being available for check-in (I sincerely think the guy was sleeping somewhere), and assigning me a room that hadn't been cleaned. In fact, it took me three trips to a room and back to the lobby before I got something acceptable.

Hilton is located at a prime location. Love that there's a pharmacy and Coles a few steps away. Close to restaurants, main mall strip and short walks to the esplanade and the waterfront precinct. Breakfast offered is pretty good. Unfortunately this visit was during peak season and the hotel was at full capacity meaning prices were high and the staff were overwhelmed. All the staff did their best. Queues to check in, check out, breakfast etc, so you just have to allow extra time. The executive lounge is pretty awesome. Pre dinner drinks and canapes offered between 5-7pm. Service is top notch. Gym is a better hotel gym I've been to. Can't go pass the Hilton if a convenient location is paramount for you.

First off Robin in the executive lounge made me feel so welcome she went out of her way each and every time like I was the only one In the room nothing was a drama and she went out of her way to make my stay fantastic Jack in the bar was the same being on my own not only did he make me feel welcome and at home he made me some of the best off the menu cocktails I’ve ever had ! (Seriously let him treat u with a cocktail) all the staff where Amazing but they stood out as the best. The guy at the front desk always waved and has a big smile (I don’t know his name ) even with a mask on he felt so warm and inviting. I highly recommend you take a few nights here
