Great location. Very clean. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We arrived very late at night, went to self check in as we expected but staff member greeted us and check us in, they were lovely. Very comfortable first night, a little hiccup on second night as new guests were checked into the room next to us, as the room we had, had an adjoining door, we could hear them. There were not many guests at the time as it was wet season, so we were a little perplexed why they would put someone next door. When their dog started barking, we asked to be moved, and they were only too happy to move us to another floor. The pool was lovely and refreshing, although it is on the smaller side, it was adequate. Many places to eat near hotel, and nearby supermarkets. Very central to everything. Thank you to all staff we met during our stay, you made us feel very welcome.

“Enjoyable stay at Ridges Darwin Central”

Our sixth holiday to Darwin over a few years. This is the 3rd time staying at Ridges Darwin Central (previously named Darwin Central) OK it is dated, needs work to modernize the whole property.

Our sixth holiday to Darwin over a few years. This is the 3rd time staying at Ridges Darwin Central (previously named Darwin Central) OK it is dated, needs work to modernize the whole property. But honestly our room was good. Nothing was broken, fallen off, torn or worn. It was clean and tidy. June, July & August is their peak season and you would not find anything better for the same price. The kitchenette was enough for breakfast, tea & coffee, drinks & snacks. The bathroom spotless and yes inside the shower can get slippery when wet, just be careful. The staff are excellent, Robert, Lydia, Huan & Daneil, outstanding, nothing was too much when asked for whatever we needed. happy & friendly staff goes a long way. I do have a negative: It is a pity Ridges are cost cutting when it affects customers. i.e. The breakfast area looked great when offering breakfast service, full of people enjoying a full breakfast with friends or making new friends, now it's just an empty open space which looks sad. And put the ice machine somewhere for it to be accessible anytime, not in the laundry room which is locked after 7.45pm.

Have stayed in better quality Rydges before, and was a little disappointed when I arrived having paid over $300 per night, but having said that the rooms are spacious; the staff were friendly and very helpful and the location is excellent with good restaurants close by and the park and ocean only a block away. Would recommend Rabbit Hole for breakfast and coffee and Japanese restaurant on Mitchell st for dinner, both fabulous. Also Darwin Waterfront is a great place for families (swimming, chilling etc) a few blocks walk away
