Charlotte Holidays from NZ$2,655

The hotel is in a great central location, making it easy to explore the city. Unfortunately, the nearby bars played loud music until around 4am, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. The room was also noticeably dusty in a few places.

Was a great stay to watch the fire works over Darwin for Territory day. Great location with good view of everything. Staff were great. However- the food particularly in the cocktail bar was absolutely crap. We were with another couple and they felt the same. We paid $80 per person for the roof top bar which stated it included a banquet meal. It was so inedible that all of us only ate the corn chips. So disappointing! Even the breakfasts were below par. The poached eggs were like they had a plastic film over them , the beans spicy, and the toast cold. So much improvement could be made in the food department. We had stayed in the same place ten years earlier and don’t remember the food being that bad. Overall- I would say - a great stay for territory day and the fireworks but make full use of the apartment kitchen and make your own food or go out.

The nightclub across the alley from this location played extremely loud music all night making it impossible to sleep. We were lucky to have an alternate room arranged for us at midnight on Friday, other families were not so fortunate. The assistant told us they have complained multiple times to Darwin council only to be ignored. If you book a room, be sure to insist on one away from the club. The new room were had was very quiet and made the rest of our stay pleasant.

Hotel os convenient.. the room I was in the Novetel was airport side had the bins being emptied early, noise hard to sleep after long flight , we bought dinner from the restaurant 2 nights and both times we did a pick up we were missing food or it was not what we ordered and the staff had no idea no communication between them. Have stayed in better, great if you have children BAD if you need sleep after flights . Packet of potatoe chips $7 from reception … come on ..!!!

The room was basic and needed a good clean. Hole in the bathroom wall letting bugs in.
