Argus Hotel Darwin

I stayed here during a work trip and found the hotel to be very clean and well-maintained. The staff were consistently helpful and polite, which made for a pleasant experience overall. I did encounter some difficulty obtaining an invoice—which was essential for my business travel—but thankfully, the issue was eventually resolved by the management. The location is excellent, right in the heart of Darwin, making it easy to access shops, restaurants, and key points of interest. However, the amenities are quite limited. The breakfast was rather underwhelming, and the lobby is small and not particularly inviting as a place to sit or relax. There's no dedicated common area, restaurant, or bar, which might be a drawback for some travelers. That said, if you're looking for a clean, centrally located hotel that offers great value for money and friendly service, this is a solid choice—as long as you don’t mind skipping some of the extras.

Nice big room, facing east so not too hot in afternoon. Air conditioner worked really well, also air filters in use. Very clean. Comfy bed. Reception people and breakfast staff super helpful and friendly. Laundry great. My room had a fridge and kettle but no plates or microwave. Hotel pool nicely shaded. Lots of coat hangers in the wardrobe - thank you. Quiet neighbourhood. Within 2 blocks of a bus stop and supermarket and cafe, and short walk to main Darwin shops.

Breakfast was simple continental, but excellent! Room was over our expectation, it was clean and inviting !

I cannot say enough good things about my experience. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, providing a comfortable and relaxing environment. The amenities were top-notch, and the hotel's location was perfect for exploring the city. Special kudos to Hana at the front desk, who went above and beyond to ensure my stay was enjoyable. Their helpfulness and friendly demeanour made the check-in process seamless and pleasant. Lastly, Belle at the hotel's restaurant provided excellent service during breakfast. Overall, my stay at Argus was fantastic, and I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. The outstanding staff made my experience memorable, and I look forward to returning in the future.

Check in was quick and easy. The lift has card access for security. The room was quiet even though I was on the 1st floor facing the street, which is quiet as well. Bathroom is basic but modern styling with rain shower. Wifi worked well and the flat screen tv is a good size. A breakfast is included and was very welcome. The lady doing the cleaning was superb and I complimented her on her attention to cleanliness and preparation.
