Darwin Hotels with Bars

For me, there are several factors when it comes to reviewing a hotel. In this case, the property mainly operates as a pub and restaurant, with the hotel as more of an add-on feature. Location: 5 stars, no doubt. It’s right in the CBD, making it super convenient to walk around and access nearby places. Room: Spacious, clean, well-equipped, and facing the pool—so at least there’s a nice view. However, there are a few downsides. The rooms are not soundproof at all. Since there are live performances at the open-space pub right below from about 6–10pm, expect some noise. Even after the music ends, you can still hear people chatting downstairs. And just fyi there is no toothpaste, and indoor flip flop. Wi-Fi: This was the biggest issue. Even though I stayed in the room closest to the router (as staff mentioned) and the hotel has two networks—one for pub guests and one for hotel guests—the signal basically disappeared once I stepped into my room. My phone couldn’t connect at all unless I went outside, and while my iPad could connect, the connection kept dropping every 15–20 minutes. I had to manually reconnect each time. I’m not an IT expert, but it seems like they might be using a small-scale or shared network that struggles when too many users are online. Aside from that, everything else was fine. The staff were supportive, and both check-in and check-out were smooth—especially check-out, which was quick and hassle-free.

Rooms are perfect, very spacious except shower and toilet are a bit cramped but usable. Very clean with everything you need. Staff were friendly and check-in was easy.Daily housekeeping service a plus if you need it.

The room was really huge and clean! It was great! The staff are very friendly and always smiling. I felt so comfortable there! I'd definitely come back if I get the chance. I didn't try the breakfast buffet, but I imagine it's good. However, I did use the gym and it's very functional, clean, and modern, with lots of machines. Thank you very much!

We checked in at Oaks Elan on 21 November 2025, the day before Cyclone Fina hit Darwin. My husband and I were impressed how the staff kept us informed of what was happening. During breakfast on 22 November, we were told by the manager that the restaurant will be closed until further notice because they have to let the staff go home to be with the family when cyclone hit. We were told to pack whatever food we want from the restaurant to last us for lunch, dinner and possibly breakfast for the next day. We were glad we didn’t go hungry when there was no where to get food when everything was closed. The manager who held the fort on the day and the next day did a very superb job! He rolled up the sleeve and did everything himself when he was obviously very short staff.

Good pool and spa. Excellent location. Good lobby/reception, waiting area. Phone call to inform us that our room was ready early was greatly appreciated. Generally the staff were all helpful. On the negative side the room itself - the layout is poorly designed, very angular - narrow gap between the end of the bed and the open door into the living area. The TV in the bedroom is set at a strange angle because of the room design. It didnt bother us to watch it as we didnt, but the TV extended past the wall , narrowing the walkway at the end of the bed.) Living area and kitchen were fine, good supply of tea/coffee.

Really nice, clean place to stay. All staff were friendly. Our Junior Premier Suite was nice and clean. Nice views from our balcony. Was good having ceiling fans along with air conditioning. Bedroom was a bit on the small size, living area was nice and big. Rooftop lounge is a nice place to go. Spectacular views from there too. I'd consider staying here again and I'd recommend this accommodation to others!

Room size was decent and clean. The pillows were both way too high for a small frame female and I was not able to sleep. The request to have twin beds were met but the beds were only separated when we are in the room which made it awkward to stand around for 10 to 15 mins in a room that is not very big. We kept having to move to get our of the way to enable house keeping to split the bed into twin.

Generally, the hotel serve as a good location for day trips to out of Darwin. There are public parking lots outside the hotel which are free, as there are limited lots within the hotel's open air parking compound except the underground. There are limited amenities except a small pool. The room are very basic but the balcony added a good atmosphere for dining with a view.

My last minute trip to darwin turned to be the best trip with great deal of Air ticket and Accommodation booked with Trip.com H on Mitchell Apartment Hotel is Good Location walking Distance , Room equipped with Microwave Oven, Refrigerator , Dish washer machine, Stove , Room is clean, as well as Safe to stay.

Poor communication with the shuttle service. They failed to communicate the shuttle service would be an unmarked car and did not provide the driver with my phone number. This resulted in a long wait at the airport around midnight, plus several phone calls. The room we were given had hair in the bed and stained sheets. Thankfully, we were promptly given a new room, however, the person who gave me the new room key - passed the key to me and told me the room number and went to immediately leave. I had to ask him to show me the room and help move our bags. (I was travelling with my 8 year old child and by this time it was after 1am). It was a very disappointing and frustrating experience.
