Guest reviews for Rydges Darwin Central

Everyone (1)
2 out of 5
My first night was terrible, second two OK. There was a leak in the toilet and the air conditioning was not controlable, either off or a full on 'artic' blast. Fixed the next day but not after a disturbed night. I would not stay again, it is overpriced and not a 4 star hotel by International standards. If you do, check the room thoroughly before unpacking. One postive is that there is a resonably good breakfast which starts usefully early 6.00. It is also a 'pick up' hotel if you are travelling on the Ghan.
