This was a 1-night stay so it has the best location to the airport. Great staff including shuttle service. Great restaurant food. Chef in the hotel restaurant on 1st floor was exceptional. Greatful to the hostess for her food suggestion.

There was periodic banging all night which sounded like it was coming from the corridor or a room close by. I was awoken by it multiple times. The room itself is on par with a motel and not a Novotel. Very disappointing for the price paid. Staff however are fantastic and very helpful. Airport courtesy bus is excellent. Not much in the airport precinct.

The room smelt musty and i could smell alcohol, the shower had a lot of mould in places, shower door faulty, sink would not drain in bathroom, i had to clean my teeth in the bathroom. Disappointing there are no cocktails in the Novotel restaurant. Beautiful clean pool, helpful staff.

Great stay, good service, approachable staff, walking distance to airport and an abundance of ammenities onsite. Only downside was checking in as they have combined the hotels check in desks (Mercure and Novotel) which means if it's crowded can take a while to get your room or other services from the check in desk.

Stayed less than a day for a short layover. Perfectly adequate for an airport hotel with plenty of facilities and amenities. They provide free airport shuttles as well, just need to talk to the front desk in advance.
