Cons:

Possibly the worst buffet breakfast I have had anywhere. Lumpy thick uncooked bacon and cold scrambled eggs. This is twice I have experienced terrible meals here, previously an undercooked pizza for dinner then this atrocious breakfast. The only reason I stay here is the location which suits my work when I visit and the rooms are comfortable but food wise never again

Cons:

My family and I were singled out while having breakfast. We were asked if we were staying at the hotel and the staff member did not ask anyone else. It felt very embarrassing and we felt like we had done something wrong. My family and I have been valued customers to Rydges. I feel like we deserve an apology for we had done nothing wrong. And I think we deserve to stay next time for free. That would greatly be appreciated.

Nice start of holiday at Northern Territory
Pros:

We (party of 5) had a 3 bedroom apartment in this hotel. It is a 20 minute ride to airport and city of Darwin. Free parking at hotel (enclosed). Also next to supermarket and busstation (free buses to Darwin). Good way to start holiday at Northern Territory!

L'appartement est spacieux, bien équipé, moderne et propre !
Une belle terrasse avec l'appartement.
Le ménage est fait chaque jour.
Le petit déjeuner est copieux et le lieu est agréable.
Le parking est sécurisé.
Les tableaux décorant les allées de l'hôtel : une petite galerie d'art : c'est sympa !

Nous sommes restés 5 nuits, le petit déjeuner est similaire chaque jour. Seul un plat change.
Pas d'affichage clair des prix au bar.
