Review of The Smith Hotel
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Oct 14, 2023via mobile
A very good experience. A great location in the Darwin CBD offering easy access. The room was very comfortable, spacious and clean, very functional. The service was very good and the facilities exceptional. A very cosy intimate restaurant and nice swimming pool makes it a winner.

Spacious, modern hotel in a great location in central Darwin. Staff were friendly and incredibly helpful. We were a large group and the rooms were well appointed and very comfortable. Food and beverage staff were amazing - Josh was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Booked through Luxury Escapes. It was anything but Luxury. Good spot for business trip only. Not suitable for a holiday escape. Very disappointed Luxury Escapes advertised this as a holiday stay. Very basic breakfast buffet, not worth the price.

I really enjoyed this hotel, I stayed here 2 nights although not consecutive.
The first room I had was on the ground floor just off the reception area, look it wasn't great, I kind of felt like I was in the basement but it was good enough.
Then a few nights later I was back and had a room on the 3rd floor which was beautiful, overlooked the pool and was much brighter.
The bar was good, the breakfast was fab, the pool was perfect and the staff were so accommodating and friendly.
There's a woolies about a 2 minute walk down the road and Mitchell St and the Harbour front are a very short walk to where it's all happening.
Overall a lovely stay but I do recommend you request a room on a higher floor xx
The pic is the ground floor room.

The photos online are very deceptive, this is not a nice hotel. Our room was big but there were stains on the carpet and some food or something spilt on the side of the couch. The bathroom has calcium build-up in the shower and just doesn't look overly clean despite the chemical smell. The curtains have many hooks missing so you have to adjust them yourself to make sure you aren't getting an eyeful of sun with the sunrise and all the linen is old looking, crunchy and has that nice bleach smell. The furniture in the restaurant downstairs looks well used, our meals were not very appetising at all, we poked at it and then just walked away from them. The reception staff were helpful and professional until we enquired about an hour longer checkout time and got a very abrasive response rather than a polite decline, this hotel is not somewhere we would recommend.

Room tip: The room just looked dirty and uninviting, it was just not nice.

It is one of the best hotels in Darwin. Rooms are ver spacious and the hotel is located at a convenient location. The reception staff is very helpful. I should specially mention Akash in the reception for rendering all help to newcomers like us.
Breakfast spread is also very good. The big retail shopping outlet Woolworths is at a walking distance.
I highly recommend this hotel.
