Fine for a night
The room would be ok for 1 night. I spent 5 nights there and that was 4 too many really. The room is ok but other than sitting on the bed there was only an uncomfortable plastic chair. The doors seem to be paper thin and did nothing to quieten every noise from the passage way. Pool is lovely and certainly the star of the show here.

Check in was way way too long. We arrived to 10 deep line awaiting checkin. Two receptionists turned to three by the time we were at 5 deep to go. When we got to the desk it only took us 5 minutes to check in. All up it took nearly an hour from arrival at the line up to get our room access card. Following this we made our way to the lift , After entering the doors closed,we pressed 5 for our Floor, then nothing. After pressing 5 a few times the lift suddenly rose to level 4 but the doors would not open.even after pressing the door open button. The lift went back down to level 1 but doors did not own, it repeated this sequence again before we pressed the help buzzer. We couldn't here the voice on the speaker. Eventually after 15 minutes stuck in the lift the door opened to other users in the lobby who explained the swipe card operations. No advice from the reception about this mode of operation! Annoyed!!

Nice enough, room decent… a bit noisy and I got there evening flight and no food available limited Uber eats options because of location. Good for a quick overnighter but I would look elsewhere for extended stay considering the cost, was expensive in comparison to others but has convenience for airport over nighter

The new pool area was over crowded and most of them were people who didn’t stay at the hotel and there was very little shaded areas. I’m Darwin born n bred so I’m used to the heat but it’s definitely not family friendly for young kids with little to no shade areas

Hotel was tired and needed refurb. Pool area looks amazing but there is four umbrellas for the whole area. With zero shade you can’t spend a good amount of time there with kids. Also Novotel pool restaurant needs to be moved. It’s feels like a conference room.

The new pool and café area is great. Once the inside of the hotel is renovated, this will be a great place to stay in Darwin. Our two bedroom apartment was clean and comfortable. Having a washer and dryer is fantastic. Things are just a bit tired, but presumably now the outside areas are done, the inside areas will get upgrades soon. Staff were fantastic.

The hotel itself is old and tired. This is an airport hotel so needs better soundproofing at the doors given that there is a constant stream of people checking in and out at all hours. The new pool however is nothing short of spectacular. Like one of the best pools I have seen in my life. Truly amazing! Oh and the staff are absolutely fantastic! Truly delightful.
