Perfect Airport Hotel
Perfect hotel when catching an early connection in the morning. New and clean. Pricey food and beverage options which was the only down side.

When I stayed here, the hotel was newly opened for less than half year. Everything was new. Novotel guests had complimentary access to swimming pool.

Almost there.
The air con wasn’t working so well so that’s a star off comfort. I think your restaurant, cocktails and cocktails menu needs to be fleshed out a little more too - add basics like mojitos, pina coladas etc. But the risotto & tiramisu were both amazing. Mum loved the ragu

The hotel was great and super close to the airport. We would have walked to airport for our flight but I had a broken foot. Saying that the only complaint we had about the airport was the shuttle service to airport. The driver didn’t say one word or ask what part of the airport anyone was going to ( which we had stated when we booked the shuttle at check in). he just dropped us off at the international terminal. Which we needed domestic so had to walk to the other terminal. Also there were more people then could fit in so some people had to wait while he came back.
I would stay again as it was super clean and very comfortable.
