We stayed her for 1 week with our two children (aged 5 & 7). The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was well maintained and very clean. Facility’s were excellent, spa and pool great for the kids. Perfect distance to trams and Cavill is just around the corner. Very happy with our stay and would stay again.

I like to give the benefit of the doubt and saw some great reviews and bad ones and thinking a safe bet booking a reputable hotel like Novotel. The lady that checked us in was so lovely and helpful. Our room while the right size for us and convenience of location, the room had mouldy air conditioning ducts, very thick with dust air vents and surrounding man holes. The shower rail also covered in mould. I asked reception after noticing if we could get this cleaned as our toddler and i are a little sensitive to dust , however we returned and only the beds were made and nothing really cleaned. I own a small country side hotel, and i am not fussy, could look past the cosmetic needs and i don't like uncomfortable situations, however its not hard to have things clean. I doubt i would book a Novotel hotel again.

I was under the impression this facilty had a carpark, then to be charged $20 per night for the car was very inconvenient. Facilities were very clean and staff extremely approachable.
