8/10 Good

Great one night stay here, hotel is a bit outdated but service was excellent and I can’t complain about anything else
Anabelle, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

OK hotel 5 min walk from terminal but partly uncovered. Nice long pool for laps. Average small breakfast. Room was fairly barren and gym is small but functional. Glimpse of planes on runway.
Hasantha, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Good spot of flying out early the next morning
Sally, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

We stayed there because of a late arrival at DRW and we left the city the next day. Room was very basic and definitely not worth the rate we paid for.
Daniel, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Swimmingpool is great
Jeroen, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Nice pools, convenient for airport which is good as there are alot of late/very early flights. Hotel was a bit tired and outdoor furnishings a bit grubby but fine for a few hours layover.
Emma, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

I stayed in 2 rooms over 4 days which were completely different. The 1st stay was a room with 2 x double beds that needed replacing and a older type room, overdue for renovation but clean and adequate. The 2nd stay I had an update modern room which was smaller than the 1st but good for 2 people with a queen bed.
Gayle, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great overhight stay before early flight. Hotel facilities are excellent. Ahuttle to terminal was easy.
Gary, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Convenient and Relaxing Stay at Novotel Darwin Airport We had a great experience at Novotel Darwin Airport. The location is excellent—perfectly situated for easy access to the airport and ideal for day trips around the area. We especially enjoyed the beautiful hotel grounds and spent a lot of time relaxing by the inviting pool, which was a real highlight. A convenient and comfortable base for exploring Darwin!
Jill, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Room carpet was sticky and room was very outdated.
Guinevere, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

We had a short stay, so were unable to enjoy all the amenities, but what we did see was excellent.
Daphne, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

I stayed 2 nights on different days and each room was different. One was newer and smaller with a queen bed but still very adequate and the other older and larger with 2 x double beds, which were obviously old beds but great view with small balcony overlooking the new fab pool oasis. There is no food or drinks anywhere on the complex to buy between 10.30am and 11am so be careful of your timing. The staff at check in are slow and although a dedicated area for Accor members, everyone uses the line. No drinking water supplied in either room. Only advantage is that it's walking distance to airport, otherwise I would stay elsewhere.
Gayle, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Convenient. Clean.Quiet.
Mrs.G.C., 1-night trip

Great place

Clean and comfortable rooms. Food was delicious and pool was awesome.
Ricardo, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Toddler friendly pool. Beautiful place to stay, nice and close to the airport
Mikayla, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Pool was a great asset, though good to know guests can use Mecure pool when Novotel gets noisy and busy. Events are often held there. But a great location close to the airport for early flights. Bit of a hike into town, and no shops within walking distance.
Anna, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very easy and convenient to airport.
CHRISTOPHER, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Close to the airport nice breakfast at a reasonable price
Andrew, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

I found the room did not look like the advertised pictures on the site. The room was very basic no pictures, an old style wardrobe with no doors we felt like it was thrown together The bathroom however had a big shower
