Paul D. J. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL
Dear Mr. D. J., Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback following your recent stay with us. We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed our location, spacious accommodation, breakfast offering, and the service provided by our team. Your kind words in recognising our staff are truly appreciated and will be shared with them. At the same time, I have carefully noted the concerns you raised. The musty odour in the atrium, the lack of replenishment of in-room amenities, and the maintenance items in your room—including the bathroom ventilation, door operation, and air grille condition—are not in line with the standards we aim to deliver. In particular, your comment regarding the ventilation grille has been escalated to our maintenance team for immediate inspection and action. We have also taken note of your feedback regarding WiFi performance and security, as well as the limited availability of hot beverages in the evening. These are areas we are actively reviewing to improve the overall guest experience, especially for our business travellers. Additionally, I regret that your ALL Platinum recognition did not fully meet expectations, particularly regarding the welcome amenity and drink. This is an area we will reinforce with the team to ensure consistency. We appreciate your valuable feedback, as it helps us identify where we need to improve. Should your travels bring you back to Darwin, I would welcome the opportunity to personally oversee your stay to ensure a much smoother experience. Thank you again for your review. Kind regards, Rio

We are especially grateful for your continued loyalty as an ALL Platinum member over the past 28 years. It’s fantastic to know you felt well recognised during your stay and that your upgrade, welcome amenities, and overall experience met—and exceeded—your expectations. Thank you again for your generous feedback and recommendation. We look forward to welcoming you back to Novotel Darwin CBD for another memorable stay. Kind regards, Rio

Samantha C. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL
Dear Ms, C., Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay with us. I’m disappointed to read about your experience, particularly regarding the condition of the room, cleanliness concerns, and overall arrival experience. This is not the standard we aim to deliver, and your comments have been taken seriously and shared with the relevant teams for immediate review and follow-up. We are actively addressing the issues raised, especially around housekeeping standards, room maintenance, and presentation of our public areas, to ensure these are improved moving forward. As an ALL Gold member, your experience should have been far better, and it’s clear we fell short on this occasion. Should you consider staying with us again, I would welcome the opportunity to personally look after your booking and ensure a much smoother experience. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at the hotel. Thank you again for your feedback. Kind regards, Rio
