I stayed in 2 rooms over 4 days which were completely different. The 1st stay was a room with 2 x double beds that needed replacing and a older type room, overdue for renovation but clean and adequate. The 2nd stay I had an update modern room which was smaller than the 1st but good for 2 people with a queen bed.

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!

Liked: Cleanliness
I stayed 2 nights on different days and each room was different. One was newer and smaller with a queen bed but still very adequate and the other older and larger with 2 x double beds, which were obviously old beds but great view with small balcony overlooking the new fab pool oasis. There is no food or drinks anywhere on the complex to buy between 10.30am and 11am so be careful of your timing. The staff at check in are slow and although a dedicated area for Accor members, everyone uses the line. No drinking water supplied in either room. Only advantage is that it's walking distance to airport, otherwise I would stay elsewhere.

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.
