This a great location. Easy walk to the water and the shops. Room was comfortable, with a good bed and shower. Unfortunately, the hotel has renovations happening. We were informed of this after booking. This meant that we were woken in the mornings with a jack hammer, that went on throughout the day, was not relaxing and saw us leaving our room early each day. We had a lovely balcony view, but unfortunately did not enjoy this during the day, due to the jack hammer. Noah in reception was very helpful.

We could see that the Novotel offers a great experience usually. Our room and clean and had everything we needed, we had a sea view from the balcony, the hotel bar was nice, and the staff were friendly. However, I absolutely cannot in good conscience recommend this hotel right now as there are significant ongoing works and the noise starts at 8am and is unbearable. Think jack hammer levels of noise literally starting at 8am on the dot. I am astonished that the rooms are not in any way discounted to take account of this because you really can’t be in your room beyond 8am due to the levels of noise. If I had known, I would have spent my money elsewhere I’m afraid. I’m pretty upset that I’ve paid a premium price and ended up in a room that was unbearably noisy. I would strongly recommend avoiding until the works are complete.

Staff weren’t welcoming. Couldn’t even smile to greet us. The staff in the restaurant were lovely. Bathroom wasn’t cleaned very well and the teaspoons had to be cleaned before we used them as they had lip marks on them. The bed was comfy and the room was spacious. Walls were dirty and the surfaces were dusty. Not sure if we were the first to use the room for a while. Not a place I would book again deapite a good location

Disappointing Stay at Novotel – Lacking Service

While the price was relatively affordable, there were several serious issues worth noting. The hotel does not provide parking, and nearby options cost AUD 35–45 per stay. At check-in, one of the front desk staff, an Asain female, was unclear in her explanations and failed to mention breakfast times—she simply handed me a paper and said, “everything you need to know is printed here.” It left me questioning whether I was staying at Novotel or an Airbnb. The soundproofing was very poor. At night, the neighboring room had loud arguments and blasted the TV. We eventually called the front desk around 11 PM, but the phone rang for a long time before someone answered and took action. Breakfast the next morning was another letdown—one of the cheeses or the avocado spread seemed spoiled, with a slightly bitter taste. Both my wife and I experienced mild stomach discomfort the following day. Frankly, I was surprised to see Novotel’s service and quality drop to this level. When cost-cutting takes priority, the guest experience inevitably suffers.
