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!

so, so

The fridge in the room we stayed in does not work properly, I even saw a tiny cockroach inside the fridge. The tv unit was dusty. The check in time was at 2pm but we were able to check in at 2:30. The pool was probably the highlight of our stay, that's it.

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.
