A great Darwin base

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Sep 11, 2024
we had taken the ghan from adelaide to darwin with an 89 year old father-in-law in tow, and felt he'd prefer the comfort of a serviced apartment. hello adina waterfront.

their rooms served our needs well. i've rated them accordingly - i don't think it was worthy of an excellent rating, but it was very good. we were both in one bedroom apartments overlooking the waterfront. the view from the third floor was very nice and the rooms were fine. our bed was comfortable and we slept well at night.

breakfast is available for $20pp, and that represents fantastic value. it was the usual buffet with hot and cold offerings, but it was all very nice. we found the staff there very friendly and accommodating - couldn't do enough for us.

there's no doubting the waterfront precinct of darwin is tourist central. but the good thing with that is there are places to eat and drink all around you - you just need to make a choice. it's fair to say some places aren't as good as others, but such is life.

We booked as a family of 5, 2 adults and 3 kids and specifically chose the one queen, 2 singles and sofa bed option. When we got there, a king had been made up in the master bedroom and a queen in the other room. We rang up and asked where extra bedding was for the sofa bed- staff came up and gave us bedding and split the king into two singles. When we questioned the bed configuration in the morning we were told the configuration wasn't able to be changed. I'm sorry, but since when do you have children sleeping in the master bedroom with the en suite? As for cleanliness, it is below par with crumbs and cigarette butts found in the sofa bed (very strange for a non-smoking room). Location is amazing, and the reception staff are wonderfully polite, but for the price, it's very substandard.

Great location, friendly staff, very comfy bed and pillows, good wifi. Kitchen had no frying pan, no cooking utenils, dirty oven without rost. Pan took 4 days and four different people to be delivered. Hangers are in-closet only, cannot use to hang sth on bathroom.
Lounge smelled of mould and I was neither given a different room or any price reduction. No good for a stay of 8 weeks.

A pass mark, but nothing exceptional. Room was spacious, but the aircon was a challenge. If the lights went off. Very large and impersonal building ... the longest hotel corridor I have ever had to walk along. bed good, pillow good, wifi okay, bathroom a bit shabby. Perhaps management systems need attention as I had a repairman knocking on the door in the morning then opening it because he thought the room was empty.

Great location to waterfront precinct, close to lots of restaurants and bars. Apartment was clean and nice enough with all amenities required. Customer service a little lacking. No complimentary checkout even by one hour - charge is $60 per hour after 11am.
