Wet Season

TripAdvisor rating 3.5/5

liddyfamily2019 Couples - 07/01/2020 TripAdvisor review

We checked in late on Friday night and was quite disappointed there was no offer of an upgrade, no complimentary water and no vouchers to use at the bar - not what I expected for an Accor member. The air conditioning in our room didn't work properly which was the last straw. After making a complaint we were given a room upgrade, complimentary water and drink vouchers...…...Our room was not serviced on the first day and when I rang up to enquire if anyone was coming to service it, I was told sorry the cleaning staff have gone for the day but we can bring up clean towels if required. There was definite lack of staff at the hotel due to the wet season. The bar and restaurant were not open over the weekend. The laundry had 1 washing machine out of 3 working and there was only 1 dryer out of 2 working. All round hard to recommend.

Friendly and professional staff, convenient location with large comfortable rooms

Customer review rating 4.0/5

Cheryl Couples - 05/01/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

We have stayed at the Novotel Darwin CBD many times, and as always, found the staff to be very helpful, friendly and professional - from the front office manager through to the reception, restaurant, and housekeeping. The rooms are large and comfortable, restaurant meals very good (love the barramundi), and there was a good range of fresh fruit and other choices at the buffet breakfast. Very reasonably priced during the wet season.

Dear Cheryl B., We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Novotel Darwin CBD. It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback. I will share your comments with our team. I am sure that this feedback will serve as an encouragement to all of our staff as we strive to continuously improve the quality of our services.

Central to shops and bars. Friendly staff and clean rooms. The pool seems small and in welcoming. Bar not open when I was there. View was unreal. Would recommend if wanting to stay close to city and enjoy a beautiful walk along the harbour.

Peter H. Business - 19/12/2019 Confirmed reviews ALL

I was disappointed in the lack of service received after advising twice that I had no hot water. Having to stay for 4 nights without hot water was unacceptable. I was finally offered the opportunity to relocate but as it was my last night it was easier to stay in the room and have another cold shower, than to pack my clothes and move.

Middle of summer in Darwin and all bar and food services on Sunday's removed. Couldn't even get a coffee. Hotel room, bath chipped further, old taps broken and mould on roof in a few places, Staff on duty were friendly but all apologised for how the hotel was being presented. Television in room could only receive 4 stations and all heavily frosted and unclear.

This stay was awful, I had ants in the room, had to change the room, no apologies or anything. Moved the room to unclean one, had to leave a note to HK to clean the spider net on the walls, AC was not cooling, just blowing air, left a note to HK to send someone to have a look, also mentioned it to reception, no one even bothered to come and have a look, no follow up from the manager whatsoever. I am a return customer and I appreciate the reception friendliness and hard work, but not sure how my next stay will be like.

Was a long wait at check in with only one staff member. Room very dated, needs serious upgrade. Not very clean, bedroom door dIdnt even shut. Tv wasn’t working properly, no in house movies either. Was told it was under maintenance. This was the delux ocean view room. Refused to stay there and checked straight out. Did get full refund hence a score of 2 instead of 1.
