Novotel Darwin CBD

We did not get the room we booked, they gave different type of room we booked

Great service. Easy quick check out by putting the key back on the place where the reception is.

Location of parking a bit far from the hotel. But the rest was all good

The hotel although very dated and in need of some TLC iit had everything we needed for a week's stay. On the downside the aircon in our room wasn't very efficient and the fridge was just short of useless.

Wonderful service, very attentive staff - especially Meike, she was so friendly and kind to me and my family. The food was delicious, 10/10 experience. Will definitely recommend dining here for a meal. We have stayed here in the past and loved our time here as well!

We got a one bedroom with the harbour view. the harbour views are fantastic, the bed is comfortable and the couch, kitchen table and work desk are all very functional. the location is brilliant and despite my complaint below, i would happily stay here again, just not in the same room. However the hotel room is let down by the bathroom. The shower doesnt have a very good drain, so whilst showering water pools in the tub up to ankle height. the toilet doesnt have a toilet roll holder, or a decent exhaust fan, which in tropical darwin is a problem, with your towels simply not drying in the bathroom. I would dry myself in the bathroom, then stand naked under a fan in the living room to dry. the hotel has a nice bar area down below where you can get work done in a cool, but tropical atmosphrere. the serveice was fantastic, and they got my bathroom light fixed when I asked for it to be fixed.

We booked a 1 bedroom suite but were upgraded to a 2 bedroom suite which was good. We had breakfast included which was part of the room rate but I would rate the breakfast below average in my opinion. I thought it was one of those espresso machines you normally would find in hotels such of this but on closer inspection it was a Nescafe instant coffee machine that made awful coffee with instant coffee and powder. I did order a barista coffee which was extra but that wasn't much better. All reception staff were excellent and attentive to any queries or requests, bar staff were great as well. The room was great, the pool area was pretty ordinary and very dated. The location was good and seems to have a few FIFO's along with some families staying. I would stay here again as the accommodation/location was good, breakfast was average.

Great location, close for walking along the Esplanade or into town. But the property needs a general refurb & freshen up
