We stayed here for a night before an early flight, it was good enough for that. I personally wouldn’t recommend if not for that reason. Not to say there was anything wrong with it, but there is much better out there if staying longer than a night.

We landed just after midnight and after getting through all the palava with 2 incredibly tired kids, we got to the hotel around 1.45am. We weren't the only family to arrive at the hotel at the same time. The gentleman who checked us in was efficient, friendly and SO helpful. We have friends coming over for Christmas and we have recommended the Novotel for when they land. So cool being able to see the runway as well in the morning

There was no shower gel in the bathroom so that wasn't helpful. Room booked for 4 people but only 2 towels given. Was a great hotel for a midnight flight. Definitely stay again

Good Morning TonyThank you for the feedback and i am glad to see you enjoyed the majority of your stay. I will be taking these issues of the amenities in the room up with our House keeping Manager as these should have been updated prior to your arrival. I do hope we see you again though in the future.

Perfect as a last stop before flying out. Efficiently laid out room with plenty of space to re-pack; very friendly staff; good choice of entertainment channels. Recommend checking parking arrangements before arriving. Finding the entrance could have been easier with more prominent signage.

We stayed here for one night before an early flight. The international terminal is less than 5 minutes walk from the hotel’s front door and baggage trolleys are available. The room was very clean, modern and comfortable. Room service dinner was delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful. We would have liked to pay our accommodation fee upfront and pay for room service extras via credit card on the menu website, for a faster checkout at 4am, as the front desk seems to get a bit busy before flights.
