    Room needed a major renovation.

    Location, comfortable bed & late check-out. Having a 24-hour reception staff member was excellent.

    Room was dated, and didn’t look like the pictures in the advertising. No mini bar, or even bottled water.

    Room is bit too small. And we can see construction site from the window. Not pleasant view.

    Staff are very friendly. Shuttle bus from airport to the hotel is on call 24 hours a day. We arrived around 2am in the morning and was picked up in 5 min. Very helpful. Breakfast at the restaurant has good quality.

    a rather poor hotel, also undergoing renovation - but very close (2 minutes on foot) to the airport. If you need a hotel near the airport, this is a good choice (I don't remember any unique advantages or disadvantages - maybe - I waited 15 minutes in a queue at the reception, and there is no place to park the car because it is undergoing renovation)

    Clean, comfortable, airport convenient and seasonally high priced accommodation just for one night.

    • Stayed 1 night

    Arrival by taxi was confusing as the drop off entrance was blocked off by construction works and meant us elderly couple struggling with our heavy luggage through a less obvious side entrance. Then, because of severe claustrophobia I usually request a ground floor or low storey room. Unfortunately, on arrival Novotel had allocated me a room on the second floor with only elevator full access (for security reasons they explained). This was a problem as I had planned prescription medication the next morning for a flight that next day and medicating much earlier to use lifts was anxiety inducing itself. Thankfully they finally arranged for me to stay at their adjacent Miratore Hotel (also with a pool) on an easy access ground floor. Miratore was clean, comfortable, and suitable, although their rooms do not have microwaves to heat up food, but, their charming staff heated our prepared food without fuss.

    Nice pool, clean room and facilities, friendly and helpful staff (especially the Nepalese staff). Very handy for Darwin Airport.

    Very expensive for a basic hotel. There was a lot of work being done on the hotel at the time which was a little disruptive (the entrance was hard to get to)

    We chose the hotel for its proximity to the airport. The hotel is an easy walk from the airport which was great for a late flight arrival then an early flight departure.
