Mercure Darwin Airport Resort

Parking easy once you’re told where it is and how to get there. Driving from the road very confusing.

just didn't enjoy the stay there. No hot water and room was did not have a safe feeling.

The Hotel is very close to the Darwin Airport, you can easily walk to the Departure Terminal. I stayed in BLOCK 3 both visits and although the surrounding area was neatly kept with gardens and lawns, the accommodation itself was not up to the standard of a Mercure Hotel. The walls were painted in a depressing yellow which appeared to be either dirty or stained. The passageway between the rooms was concrete and so were the steps to the top floor. This lack of floor covering was like being back in the Army Barracks of my youth. It made the accommodation very noisy. The bathroom floor had a sticky feeling about it from the cleaning product used on it. If I had to stay again, I would be more careful with the selection of accommodation, not Barrack Block No.3

This property is walking distance to the Darwin Airport.

It was a good place to stay and very close to the airport for a 1.30am flight. They are currently undergoing renovations so it was a bit tricky to get around and work out parking, however our overall experience was very good. I would stay there again.

This was an ideal location, ten minute walk to airport. Very convenient, unit was comfortable.

Breakfast included was great but the property is tired and really not worth the price we paid. Would stay elsewhere next time and probably wouldn’t stay at a Mercure again after this experience

Room was ok but a bit tired. Requested a room with a sofa bed, which it didn’t come with and the air conditioner didn’t work in the lounge area. We didn’t complain as we checked in at 2:00am and just wanted to sleep

Early check in helped us out a lot. Beautiful pool and outdoor cafes.

Location, next to airport, comfortable room.

We came to relax and found the pool bar area a great place to chill

Unit was old and needs refurbishment. No bus to airport when required.

Great place to stay. Near the aiport. Great services and amenities.

The site us having renovations done, but that was not an issue. The service from the shuttle bus which is dirty, to check in which is tardy, to the standard of the room booked, the place is a mess. The walkway to my original room had overflowing rubbish bin and laundry bins on the walkway, the room was truly awful; door with chipped paint and dirty, carpet dirty, walls with marks on them. I complained and was given an upgrade, but from arrival to the other room took 1.5 hours. Next morning, couldn't even get a coffee as there are not enough staff; I was the only person who had to leave without breakfast.- Mercure - never again.

Check in was absolutely appalling. Starting with arrival - hotel co-located with the Novotel but there is nothing in prearrival information to explain that. This is an airport hotel so I had to walk (with all my bags). There’s no arrival shuttle - & too close (700m) for a taxi. All signage states Novotel, and google maps not aware - I walked a mile past the hotel until I finally walked back to ask at the Novotel. On returning to the Novotel, the desk was completely overwhelmed; with around 40 people ahead of me. At this point I still thought I was just there to ask directions - and had to wait in line over 30 mins. Only two other hotel guests were ahead of me. The rest were clearly there to use the pool, something that they must rent out to locals for extra money. These people took a long time to “check in” though. They need a separate line for guests - exhausted people WITH BAGGAGE - and a streamlined process for pool users. When I finally got my turn the check in man explained that this was (despite all signage) also the check-in for Marriott. A small mercy I suppose - although I still had to walk a way through the Novotel complex to get there. This staff member was worse than indifferent to my concern about the misleading signage and my long detour. He rolled his eyes and said “I get complaints about that every day, and nothing changes. No apology or commiserations. A horrible start to an otherwise ok stay

The room was a bit tired but very spacious. Staff are great. The reception is at the Novotel not the Mercure which is not advertised and did cause some confusion for us and others.

Nice staff and accommodation

Great room, facilities and walking distance from the airport - friendly staff, Beautiful grounds

Nice place to stay

The hotel is in a complex of various brands - Ibis, Mercure and another. The pools are beautiful. I liked the adults only pool as well. The rooms were clean - but I couldn’t turn off the overhead fan - which wasn’t too bad as it was hot. But the room door was full of mould. I appreciate with the weather up there it’s very hard to stop this. It reminds me of a Fijian Resort. Right beside the airport - easy to walk - literally on the other side of the car park. But there is a shuttle service also.
